NHL Roundup | Canucks blank Blackhawks

CHICAGO — Roberto Luongo recorded his first shutout with Vancouver, and Henrik Sedin had two goals and an assist as the Canucks handed the injury-depleted Chicago Blackhawks their third straight loss, 5-0 on Wednesday night.

Luongo, acquired in a multiplayer trade from Florida in the offseason, made 32 saves in his 28th career shutout.

Matt Cooke, Brendan Morrison and Taylor Pyatt also scored for the Canucks, who completed a five-game road trip with a 3-2-0 record. Daniel Sedin had three assists.

Cooke opened the scoring 4:54 into the first period when he spun and backhanded in a rebound of Mattias Ohlund's shot just past Brian Boucher's outstretched glove and inside the right post.

Morrison's deflection on the power play with 3:02 left in the period gave Vancouver a 2-0 lead. He redirected Ohlund's shot from the right point in midair, about a foot off the ice.

Sedin stretched the lead to 3-0 at 3:41 of the second when his 45-foot wrist shot fooled Boucher.

Pyatt made it 4-0 with 8:15 left in the second, and Sedin completed the scoring with 3:36 left in the third.

Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault, whose team has played nine of its first 11 games on the road, was pleased his team is off to a 6-4-1 start.

"These nine of 11 games on the road were going to permit us to find out about our team and whether we could play on the road," Vigneault said. "I think in general we did that. We're coming back home with an above-.500 record."
