The Vancouver Canucks extended their division lead to a massive 16 points on Wednesday with a 3-1 home victory over Northwest foes Colorado. Jannik Hansen scored with under seven minutes left in the third period to break a 1-1 tie, and Alexandre Burrows made sure of the win with an empty-netter in the final minutes. “It was nice to see it go in,” Hansen told reporters after his team improved to 13-0-2 in their last 15 meetings with Colorado. Vancouver (36-15-6) padded its Northwest lead to 16 points, the biggest division lead in the NHL, and trail Western Conference-leading Detroit by just two points. Ducks 2, Penguins 1: Teemu Selanne beat goalie Marc-Andre Fleury midway through the third period, and the Anaheim Ducks snapped the Penguins' six-game, home-winning streak. Corey Perry added his 28th goal, and Jonas Hiller made 25 saves for Anaheim, which won in Pittsburgh for the first time in 11 years by slowing down Penguins star Evgeni Malkin. Selanne's 19th goal of the season was the 656th of his career, moving him into a tie with Brendan Shanahan for 12th place on the NHL list. Bruins 4, Canadiens 3 (SO): Tyler Seguin's shootout goal gave Boston a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens after the Bruins squandered a two-goal lead in the third period. Leafs 4, Oilers 3: Tim Connolly's overtime goal gave Toronto a 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers and snapped the Maple Leafs' four-game losing streak. In another games, Ottawa won 6-2 over Florida.
