VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- As they approach the 100-point mark, the Detroit Red Wings have plenty of company in the race for the Presidents' Trophy.
The Red Wings look to win their sixth consecutive game and maintain the league's best record Sunday when they visit the Vancouver Canucks.
Detroit has 97 points and leads Carolina and Ottawa by one point and Dallas by four in the Presidents' Trophy race. The Red Wings have a nine-point advantage over Nashville for first place in the Central Division.
Henrik Zetterberg scored his 35th goal in regulation and added the clincher in the shootout for Detroit in Saturday's 4-3 triumph over the Edmonton Oilers.
Despite losing five of its last six games, Vancouver is four points behind Calgary for first place in the tight Northwest Division. However, the Canucks hold the final Western Conference playoff berth by just two points over Anaheim.
Mattias Ohlund and Anson Carter scored power-play goals and Brendan Morrison netted the go-ahead tally with 6:11 left Friday as the Canucks posted a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Brendan Shanahan recorded his 100th game-winning goal when the Red Wings defeated the Canucks, 2-1, in their last encounter January 26.
