Canucks face slumping Sharks, aim to sweep three-game trip

The Vancouver Canucks will try to finish a sweep of their three-game trip on Sunday night when they face the slumping San Jose Sharks. The Canucks started the road trip with a 4-3, come-from-behind victory over defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado on Wednesday in Denver and followed that witha 5-1 shellacking of Western Conference-leading Vegas on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Vancouver, which started the season without a win in its first seven games (0-5-2), has gone 8-5-1 since then.
