Pavel Bure had a goal and two assists and Kirk McLean made 20 saves as the Vancouver Canucks handed the Hartford Whalers their eight straight road loss with a 5-3 victory.
Bure, who has gotten back on track after a slow start, scored the game-winning goal in the third and assisted on earlier markers of Alexander Mogilny and David Roberts. He has a seven-game points streak with seven goals and six assits.
Glen Wesley and Kevin Dineen tallied goals for Hartford, which is 0-6-1 in its last seven games and just 3-11-1 following a 14-7-6 start. The Whalers have not won on the road since a 4-2 win at Boston on December 5th.
