CHICAGO – Henrik Sedin had a goal and three assists and Vancouver converted five of six power plays to lift the Canucks to a 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night.
David Booth, Aaron Rome, Daniel Sedin and Dan Hamhuis each added power-play goals and Jannik Hansen had Vancouver's only even-strength score as the Canucks (7-7-1) handed the Blackhawks their first regulation home loss.

Vancouver's Roberto Luongo made 38 saves to help the Canucks end a two-game slide.

Kruger cut it to 3-2 with 4:53 left in the second by plowing to the net and knocking in a rebound. But Hansen replied from the edge of the crease with Vancouver's only even-strength goal 43 seconds later when Crawford was trapped out of position by teammate Bryan Bickell.
Hamhuis added another power-play goal, shooting in through traffic from the top of the right circle, with 2:10 left in the period to extend the Canucks' lead to 5-2.
