| | Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1 - Vancouver Canucks vs Detroit Red Wings |
 | | Vancouver scored 254 goals during the season, three better than scoring rival Detroit, and Naslund and Bertuzzi finished the year second and third, respectively, in NHL scoring. |
 | | Last year, the Canucks hobbled into the playoffs without Naslund (broken leg) and forward Andrew Cassels (ankle sprain), but this year they are injury-free and ready to pull off an upset or two in the West. |
 | | The Canucks were 1-3 against Detroit this year, including two 4-1 losses, a 3-0 victory and a 5-4 overtime loss on Jan. 9, the last time the two teams met. |
