VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Daniel Sedin had a goal and an assist and Henrik Sedin chipped in three assists Saturday to lead the Vancouver Canucks past Minnesota 4-3.

Roberto Luongo made 38 saves, including 18 in the second period, to improve the Canucks' home record to 12-4-0 this season.

The Wild had goals from Martin Havlat, Shane Hnidy and Greg Zanon. Josh Harding faced 29 shots on goal.

Daniel Sedin's goal put Vancouver ahead 1-0 at 1:44 of the first period. Mason Raymond then scored on a power play at 6:16 to make it 2-0.
