After splitting the first two games in Vancouver, Dan Cloutier was injured midway through game three in Calgary. With backup Johan Hedberg playing in relief, Vancouver would also split games three and four in Calgary. Alex Auld took over in goal starting in game five, which the Canucks lost 2-1. Facing elimination in game six, Brendan Morrison scored the winner in the third overtime period to force a game seven in Vancouver. In the series-deciding game, the Canucks found themselves down a goal and on the penalty kill in the last minute. With Auld on the bench for the extra attacker, winger Matt Cooke tied the game with 5.7 seconds left to force overtime. However, with Ed Jovanovski still in the penalty box, former Canuck Martin Gélinas eliminated the Canucks on the power play.
Vancouver loses series 4-3
