The Vancouver Canucks stumbled through most of October before concluding the month in impressive fashion. Their momentum seems to have carried into November.

Seeking a season-best third straight win Thursday night, visiting Vancouver tries for a fifth consecutive victory over the Minnesota Wild, who are coming off two impressive results of their own.

The Canucks (6-5-1) struggled out of the gate following their trip to the Stanley Cup finals, winning just four of their first 10 games while getting shut out three times. Recently, they’ve picked up the pace.

Vancouver recorded its highest scoring output of the season to close October, including three goals in the third period to defeat Southeast Division-leading Washington 7-4. The Canucks had a much easier time Tuesday, kicking off a six-game road trip with a 5-1 victory over Calgary.

Higgins leads the team with six goals after scoring three in the last two games.

Roberto Luongo went 1-2-0 with a 4.54 goals-against average over his first three road games but rebounded nicely against the Flames, making 28 saves and coming within 32 seconds of his first shutout of the season.

Edler has been pretty good as well. He has three points in each of the last two games, including his first three goals of the season, and ranks third on the team with 12 points.

Power-play opportunities have led to two goals in each of the Canucks’ last two games, and they’ve gone 6 for 9 with the man advantage during a four-game win streak over the Wild while outscoring them 16-5. Vancouver is 14-4-1 over the last 19 meetings, but Minnesota (5-3-3) enters this matchup with some confidence after sweeping a home-and-home set with Detroit.

Minnesota will have to give it a good effort if they hope to slow down the red-hot Canucks in this game.
