CHRISTIAN Ehrhoff scored the go-ahead goal 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.
Daniel Sedin leveled the score with 5 minutes left in the second period, then got his NHL-leading 100th point of the season by setting up Ryan Kesler's goal on a two-man advantage with 4:26 remaining 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 is celebrating its 40th season, has a team-record 113 points (52-17-9), 11 more than the second-place Philadelphia. The Flyers, who lost 1-0 to Atlanta, only have five games left and can't catch the Canucks.
In Washington, Jason Chimera tapped in a rebound 2:30 into overtime for Capitals, who edged Blue Jackets 4-3.
The Capitals capitalized on a 3-on-2 rush in the extra period, resulting in a shot from Brooks Laich that goalie Steve Mason couldn't handle. The rebound went right to Chimera, who scored to give Washington its 12th win in March.
John Carlson, Mike Knuble and Jason Arnott also scored for Washington. The Capitals moved within a point of Philadelphia for the Eastern Conference lead.
Elsewhere in NHL, it was: Thrashers 1, Flyers 0; Lightning 2, Penguins 1; Sharks 6, Stars 0; Islanders 6, Rangers 2; Maple Leafs 4, Bruins 3, SO; Predators 3, Avalanche 2; Wild 4, Oilers 2; and Senators 4, Panthers 1.
