The Vancouver Canucks return home after losing five of six games on a 12-day road trip and have one win in their past 11 games (1-9-1). The Canucks scored five goals to defeat the New York Rangers 5-3 on Tuesday but have averaged 1.3 goals per game in their 10 losses. "It's a tough league to score in, that's for sure," center Henrik Sedin said after practice Saturday. "I think we are on the right track. I think we have shown lately guys feel they are able to put the puck in the net, but it's going to have to start to happen soon." The Canucks could use some production from a power play that was being counted on to score but is ranked 29th in the NHL with an 8.7 percent success rate and has one goal on 25 chances in the past 10 games. The top power-play unit hasn't scored since Oct. 22, and Loui Eriksson, who signed a six-year, $36 million contract as a free agent after scoring 10 of his 30 goals with the Boston Bruins on the power play, has been dropped to the second unit. Eriksson, who has one goal, took turns on the top power play in practice Saturday but coach Willie Desjardins said that is a "once in a while thing" because Eriksson and Daniel Sedin play similar roles in front of the net. "I don't think it's going to be a set unit," Desjardins said. "It's trying to find the right mix. … We haven't seemed to find the right answer yet."
