The Vancouver Canucks entered a long layoff with their most dominant victory in years. While that type of win can make for a pleasant five-day vacation, the Canucks will be tested right away Sunday night when they visit the NHL-leading Anaheim Ducks. Catch all the action starting at 5pm pt on TSN 1040 in Vancouver. Vancouver (20-11-2) bounced back from a season-high five-game losing streak to beat Calgary on Dec. 20 before routing Arizona 7-1 on Monday. Alexandre Burrows scored two goals and 14 total players tallied points as the Canucks posted their first plus-six margin of victory since Dec. 6, 2011. The win was the Canucks 20th in 33 games this season. They reached the 20-win milestone in their 35th game last year, but only managed 16 victories through the remaining 47 contests. Its fun to see the guys get rewarded, said Ryan Miller, who made 38 saves. If you told me, You are going to reach Christmas and the team is going to have 20 wins, I would have been really happy. Millers recent play has been especially encouraging considering his dreadful stretch from late November to mid-December. Following back-to-back shutouts on Nov. 25 and 28, Miller posted a 4.11 goals-against average over his next five games. Hes rebounded to stop 64 of 67 shots in his last two starts. Vancouver will need more of that from its No. 1 goaltender with its upcoming schedule featuring games against Anaheim, San Jose, Los Angeles and Detroit. This should certainly get your attention right away coming off break, Miller said of the schedule. We had a good little wake-up call there before the break. We finished strong. Lets see if we can continue here. Anaheim (23-8-6) entered the Christmas break with an impressive win of its own, edging the Sharks 3-2 on Monday. They returned from the layoff with a 2-1 shootout loss at Arizona on Saturday. Its tough when you dont play for that long, goalie Frederik Andersen said. I didnt feel very good in the first period, but as the game went on I felt better and better .. It was a good mental break, but even better, physically, to have a little time off. Andersen, who stopped 28 shots in the loss, is 9-1-1 with a 2.28 GAA this month. He would seen a likely candidate to start on back-to-back nights considering his 4-0-1 record and 1.36 GAA in five games against the Canucks. Captain Ryan Getzlaf extended his point streak to seven games with an assist. He has two goals and eight assists in his last nine contests against Vancouver. Ryan Kesler will face his former team for the third time after tallying an assist in the Ducks first meeting with the Canucks - a 2-1 shootout loss Nov. 9 in Anaheim. He was held scoreless in a 4-3 shootout win at Vancouver on Nov. 20. The Ducks are 7-0-1 in the past eight meetings, scoring 31 goals in those games. This could mark Millers first matchup with Anaheim in a Canucks uniform. He had won three straight starts against the Ducks before allowing six goals on 34 shots in a 6-2 loss with Buffalo on Nov. 8, 2013. Malcolm Butler Titans Jersey . Neither side would publicly confirm or deny any discussions were taking place, until the near unexpected happened. On Saturday night sources confirmed to TSN, the league and players agreed to terms on a new, tentative CBA, pending ratification by the unions players. A league source confirmed the CFLs board of governors must also ratify any potential agreement. Malcolm Butler Jersey . That still leaves a big hole.You dont replace the leadership, defensive co-ordinator Billy Davis said. You just dont. Leadership is something that is earned over time. http://www.titansstoreonline.com/Black-29-Rashaan-Evans-Womens-Jersey/ .com) - The Eastern Conference-leading Toronto Raptors are back in the great white north for a brief moment and will host the Dallas Mavericks Friday night from Air Canada Centre. Bennie Logan Titans Jersey . Not to be outdone, Atletico Madrid bettered its title rivals by demolishing 10-man Getafe 7-0 with Diego Costa returning from injury to score with a brilliant bicycle kick. "It was an almost perfect night," Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. Harold Landry Jersey . -- LeBron James warned the Orlando Magic to stop double-teaming him and ignoring James Jones.Third base is a relatively shallow position, giving the best hot corner options even more relative value. Leaving aside now-first-baseman Miguel Cabrera, the best of the bunch has been Texas Adrian Beltre who, over the past five seasons, sits just behind Tampa Bays Evan Longoria in runs, home runs and RBI, but has a batting average nearly 30 points higher, enough to get the nod, particularly since Beltre has stayed relatively healthy throughout his career. Thats not to say that Longoria isnt great; hes hit 30-plus homers three times and he played 160 games last season, but missed 117 in the previous two years, so that hangs over any decision to take him. The injury bug has caught the Mets David Wright in two of the past three seasons, causing him to miss 50 or more games in 2011 and 2013, but hes also a career .301 hitter who has power and has added at least 15 stolen bases per season in eight of the past nine years. Washingtons Ryan Zimmerman has belted at least 25 homers in four of the past five seasons, and that consistency makes him better than most at the position. While those have the longer track record, there are some that are newer to the hot corner that also have put up big numbers. Oaklands Josh Donaldson had a breakout season in 2013 and Seattles Kyle Seager has back-to-back 20 home run seasons. St. Louis Matt Carpenter, who might have more value at his previous position of second base, but he led the NNational League with 126 runs scored last year, while hitting .dddddddddddd18, and that works at any position. Beyond that, there are more challenges involved. San Diegos Chase Headley followed up a breakthrough 2012 season with a dramatic drop-off in 2013, so take your chances. Pittsburghs Pedro Alvarez led the National League with 36 home runs last season, but also whiffed a league-high 186 times on his way to a .233 batting average, so you pay a price to get that power; probably enough to avoid Alvarez unless hes filling a corner infield spot. In his mid-30s and coming an injury-shortened season, Milwaukees Aramis Ramirez can still mash when healthy -- more than 25 home runs in eight of the past 10 seasons. A couple of rising stars may still be a year or two away from being huge fantasy contributors, but its worth keeping Baltimores Manny Machado, coming back from knee injury, and Colorados Nolan Arenado have potential thats worth investing in at some point. Others with upside include Torontos Brett Lawrie, who is still untapped potential, and San Franciscos Pablo Sandoval has dropped some weight, so might be a bit of a sleeper. Really, beyond the top handful of choices at third base, a lot of the appeal is in the eye of the beholder Scott Cullen can be reached at Scott.Cullen@bellmedia.ca and followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tsnscottcullen.
