COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Daniel Sedin tied it in the closing minutes of regulation, then scored off a rebound 31 seconds into overtime to give the Vancouver Canucks a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.

Brendan Morrison also had a goal for the Canucks, who opened the season with a 3-1 victory at Detroit on Thursday night. Mark Hartigan had a goal and an assist and David Vyborny added a goal for Columbus, which fell to 1-4-1 in season-openers.

With the Canucks trailing 2-1, Sedin scored on a backhand pass from Markus Naslund with 2:11 left in regulation.

In the overtime, Sedin's twin brother, Henrik, who had two assists, took a pass from Daniel after a faceoff, skated behind Columbus goaltender Pascal Leclaire and tried a wraparound. The puck was blocked and bounced to Daniel, who pounced on it for the winner.

BE-LEAF-ABLE

The Sedin-Sedin-Naslund line seems to be playing well, as does Roberto Luongo. 2-0 to start the season. One of them over the Detroit Red Wings.

I've always liked Alain Vignault. He'll give the Canucks some of that steam they were losing last year.
