VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Daniel Sedin scored a hat trick that turned out to be more than enough to give the Vancouver Canucks a 6-0 win over Colorado.

Roberto Luongo and Corey Schneider combined to stop 33 shots for the shutout and the Canucks' seventh win in their last eight tries. Luongo departed after being hit in the neck by a slap shot off the stick of Matt Duchene.
