The Canucks welcome the return of Ryan Kesler and the Anaheim Ducks when the two teams clash in Vancouver this evening. Listeners in the Canucks region can listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1040 with coverage beginning at 5pm pt. Kesler, traded in June for Luca Sbisa and Nick Bonino, will be returning for the second time to Vancouver, where he spent the first 10 seasons of his career. He scored against Calgary to end a season-worst six-game point drought. His former teammates have had some offensive issues. The Canucks had a three-game winning streak snapped with a 4-1 loss at Tampa Bay last Tuesday - the fourth time in seven games theyve scored one goal or none. The power play let the Canucks down with an 0-for-7 night, falling to 2 for 25 in the last eight games. The penalty kill has made up for it with a 30-for-32 mark over nine games, but Henrik Sedin was focused on the limited offense. We had enough chances on the power play to win on the power play, Sedin said. So that lost us the game. Ryan Miller allowed three goals on 25 shots, but he has a 1.01 GAA over a 3-1-0 stretch. In addition to the game, the Canucks lost Kevin Bieksa to a broken hand against the Lightning, and the defenseman will be out indefinitely. Forward Brad Richardson has missed two games with a foot injury and is listed as day-to-day. The Ducks visit the Canucks looking to extend their overall winning streak to six and make it 10 straight games at Rogers Arena without a regulation loss. The Ducks (31-10-6) have won five straight in Vancouver and havent lost there in regulation since March 24, 2010 - a 7-0-2 stretch with an average of 4.11 goals per game. Theyre 2-0-1 in the season series to extend their overall dominance against the Canucks (26-16-3) to an 8-0-1 run with just 1.33 goals per game allowed. Corey Perry has only appeared in one of the meetings this season, though he has 11 points on a six-game streak against Vancouver - all Anaheim wins. The Ducks are 9-0-3 against the Canucks when Perry scores a goal. The forward has also had a strong impact on the teams current run with four goals, three assists and a plus-7 rating on a four-game point streak. He had two assists in Wednesdays 6-3 home win over Calgary, one of which set up Ryan Getzlaf. Getzlaf, Anaheims lone All-Star, has scored in consecutive games and has five points on a four-game streak along with a plus-8 rating. Coach Bruce Boudreau might not have minded most of his team having the break entirely off, given the coming schedule. When we do come back, we have 29 games in 54 days, Boudreau said after the Calgary win. I want them to relax and get away from the game. But when they come back, I want them to have the same attitude that theyve had for the last couple of weeks. Hopefully well be able to take off from where we left off. The break might have been especially good for goaltender Frederik Andersen, who had been battling the flu. He made 30 saves against the Flames and has won six straight to begin the new year. His career-best seven-game winning streak came last month, and hes 16-2-1 with a 2.24 goals-against average since the start of December. That includes a win over Vancouver to improve to 5-0-1 with a 1.29 GAA in the series. Hes allowed more than a goal to the Canucks just once.

Myydään Vapormax .C. -- Duke sophomore Rodney Hood is entering the NBA draft. Nike Vapormax Plus Suomi .com) - Coming off a pair of tough losses last week, the Syracuse Orange will try to put an end to their first losing skid of the season when they pay a visit to the Maryland Terrapins at the Comcast Center on Monday night in Atlantic Coast Conference action.MIAMI -- Over the last 10 seasons, only one NBA player has been part of more wins than LeBron James. His name is Tim Duncan. Their numbers over that decade are incredibly similar. Duncan has appeared in 622 regular-season and playoff victories, James has played in 621. Duncan is shooting 50.2 per cent from the field, James is shooting 50 per cent. Duncan has won two championships with San Antonio during this 10-season stretch, James has two with Miami. Plus, when facing each other in the NBA Finals, both has won one, lost one. Here comes the tiebreaker -- a Finals rematch that will have high expectations. Miami and San Antonio are the leagues last two teams standing for the second consecutive year, their next chapter starting on the Spurs home floor Thursday night. The Heat won a wild series last season for their second straight championship, needing a frantic rally to avoid elimination in Game 6 and then riding the strength of a 37-point, 12-rebound effort from James to top the Spurs in Game 7. "I think our guys, they actually grew from the loss last year," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "I call it fortitude. I think they showed an unbelievable amount of fortitude. If I can compliment my own team humbly, to have that tough loss, especially the Game 6 and not have a pity party and come back this year and get back to the same position, I think thats fortitude." Its the leagues first Finals rematch since Chicago and Utah played in 1997 and 1998. The teams have actually played three times since last seasons classic series ended, twice in the regular season, another being a preseason meeting in Miami where the Spurs acknowledged that the pain of losing Game 7 on that floor was still real. Then again, its almost like they wanted to feel that hurt at times. Popovich showed the Spurs clips of Games 6 and 7 early in training camp this season, not so much to open old wounds but rather speed up the healing process. "We were just trying to put it away, just get over that part of it, learn from it, and move forward from there," said Duncan, a champion in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007. Move forward, they did. San Antonio won 62 games in the regular season, the best record in the league. One of those wins was a 24-point romp over Miami, on the same floor where this series will start on Thursday. The Heat know whaat wanting revenge feels like.dddddddddddd They lost the 2011 NBA Finals to Dallas, then opened the following season on the Mavericks floor and simply blew them away. Heat forward Chris Bosh called it "extra motivation" for the Spurs. "Its just something that we have to deal with, and we know that theyre going to be very passionate, and theyre going to play some good basketball," Bosh said. "So whoever we play, we just have to continue to keep our approach the same and play good basketball." While the Spurs were punching their ticket by ousting Oklahoma City from the West finals on Saturday night, the Heat were getting a day off. James was taking his kids to see X-Men. James Jones went to a home-improvement store for some supplies. Bosh insisted he was going to do as little as possible, and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra isnt summoning his team to practice again until Monday. By then, James will be locked in on the Spurs. "It hasnt really hit us that much yet because I think were in it," James said Friday night after Miami beat Indiana and clinched its fourth consecutive East championship. "I think it will once were done and were able to look back at what we were able to accomplish as players, as a franchise. I think thats when it will really hit us. We definitely dont take it for granted to be in this position." So for the next few days, all the highlights of last years finals will be played over and over again. The shot by Tony Parker -- who missed the second half of Saturday nights game with a left ankle injury -- to win Game 1 in Miami for the Spurs. James twirl-on-the-rim dunk as the Heat pulled away in Game 2. San Antonio sharpshooter Danny Greens Finals-record 3-point display. Boshs rebound that led to Ray Allens shot that saved Miamis season in Game 6. The yellow rope, the precursor to a Spurs celebration that never happened. All made for an epic series. The encore could be even better. "Obviously we are very happy and pleased with the season we have had so far, but we are not by any means satisfied," Green said. "We know we have a lot of work to do against a very good team. There is a reason why theyre back there and are two-time champs. We have our work cut out for us, but we are happy with going back -- just not satisfied." ' ' '
