Canucks move one step closer to Finals with 4-2 win

The Vancouver Canucks converted three successive 5-on-3 power plays in a span of less than 2 minutes during the second period, with Sami Salo scoring twice and Ryan Kesler adding the third to beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals to take a 3-1 series lead.

Henrik Sedin helped set up the three goals in a span of 1:55 as the Canucks needed only 37 seconds on the three 5-on-3 situations to become the first team in NHL history to score three goals with a two-man advantage in the playoffs.

The Canucks could wrap up the series this Tuesday night in Vancouver and represent Canada in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals.
