DENVER _ Henrik Sedin had his first NHL hat trick and Roberto Luongo stopped 32 shots, helping Vancouver snap a three-game skid with an 8-2 rout of the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night.
Steve Bernier netted two goals and Mathieu Schneider and Tanner Glass also scored as the Canucks wrapped up a five-game road swing (2-3).
Marek Svatos broke up Luongo's shutout bid early in the third period when he knocked in a rebound for a power-play goal.
Luongo was making his third appearance since coming back from a broken rib that sidelined him for about two weeks. He wasn't tested much until the third period when Colorado turned up the pressure.
Matt Hendricks added a goal for Colorado, which lost for the second straight time at home after winning six in a row.
