Canucks Win Presidents' Trophy With Win Over Kings

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Vancouver defenseman Christian Ehrhoff scored the go-ahead goal with 0.9 seconds left in the second period and the Canucks won their first Presidents' Trophy for the NHL's best record with a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.

Daniel Sedin tied it with 5 minutes left in the second period, then added his NHL-leading 100th point of the season by setting up Ryan Kesler's goal on a two-man advantage with 4:26 left in the third.

Roberto Luongo made 18 saves to help the Canucks win their fifth straight game and 12th in the last 13.

Vancouver, which wrapped up the Western Conference in its previous game, celebrated its 40th season by adding to a franchise record with 113 points (52-17-9), 11 more than the second-place Philadelphia atop the NHL standings.

The Flyers, who lost 1-0 to Atlanta, only have five games left and can't catch the Canucks. Kyle Clifford scored for the Kings. (Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
