Pens fall to Canucks

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pavol Demitra scored twice, Daniel and Henrik Sedin had three points each and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 on Saturday for their third straight win on the road.

The victory might have come at a price as standout goalie Roberto Luongo left early in the game with an apparent injury to his left leg. No official word on his condition was immediately available.

Curtis Sanford stopped 17 of 18 shots to earn the win in relief.

Vancouver improved to 7-0-2 in its past nine and 3-0-1 during a stretch of games in the Central or Eastern time zones.

Daniel Sedin also scored for the Canucks, and his brother Henrik assisted on all three of the their goals.

Mike Zigomanis scored for the Penguins, and Dany Sabourin stopped 16 of the 18 shots he faced.
