Canucks 3, Blackhawks 1: Daniel Sedin recorded a goal and an assist to become the second-leading scorer in franchise history as host Vancouver clinched its fifth consecutive Northwest Division title.

Jannik Hansen and Zack Kassian also scored, captain Henrik Sedin notched two assists and Cory Schneider made 24 saves for the Canucks, who have won eight in a row at home.

Hansen opened the scoring during a power play with 5:32 remaining in the first period as he deflected defenseman Jason Garrison's one-timer from the right point past Crawford. Daniel Sedin set up Kassian on the doorstep from behind the net at 11:37 of the second before beating Crawford with a backhand shot during a breakaway with 44 seconds left in the period to make it 3-0.

Carcillo spoiled Schneider's shutout bid with 8:10 to go in the third. A clearing attempt from behind the net caromed off the referee and directly to Carcillo, who backhanded the puck past the goaltender for his second goal.
