Looking to capture the series victory in Sunday's Game 6, the Vancouver Canucks enter the first intermission with a 2-1 lead over the Chicago Blackhawks. It hasn't been an offensive show like the previous two games, as both teams only started to get off a flurry of shots near the end of the period.

The Canucks took a 2-1 lead late in the first. Vancouver was barreling down into Chicago's zone when Chicago's Chris Campoli attempted to push the puck past the blue line, but he whiffed and allowed Alexandre Burrows to get off a 26-foot wristshot for the goal.
Cory Schneider, starting in place of Roberto Luongo for the Canucks, stopped eight of nine shots.
