VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Vancouver Canucks are about to find out just how much progress they have made lately.
The Canucks (28-30-7) will host the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins (42-16-8) at Rogers Arena on Saturday night. A good showing will help the Canucks show that a decent run -- on which they have gained six of a possible eight points -- has been no fluke.
"We all know how good Pittsburgh is, how much firepower they have and how good they have been playing of late," said Vancouver center Bo Horvat.
