Analysis: Member Play: Roberto Luongo saved the Canucks Tuesday. They repaid him with an easier night Thursday. After relying almost exclusively on Luongo's stellar 46-save outing for a 4-1 win over Calgary two nights earlier, the Canucks only needed 20 saves from their star goaltender and a second-period power play goal from Ryan Kesler, to beat Los Angeles 1-0 on Thursday. Against the 13th-place Kings, Luongo faced one fewer shot all game than he did in the first period in a 46-save, 4-1 win over Calgary on Tuesday night; expect another similar effort this evening! The Av's have seen the total go under the posted number in all four games they've played in April while the Canucks have seen it go under the number in 10 of 16 games after playing 3 consecutive home games; look for these trends to continue and for the situation the Canucks find themselves in to play significant rolls in the outcome of this game; play on the UNDER!
