The Vancouver Canucks return home in high spirits with a matchup against an old foe on Friday at Rogers Arena.

Vancouver (30-20-3) blew a two-goal lead over the final 2:11 in regulation on Wednesday before Henrik Sedin assisted on brother Daniel's goal 1:20 into OT to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks. Next up, for the first time this season, is a date with the Boston Bruins.

"The twins made the magic happen once again and that was a big goal for them," fellow forward Alexandre Burrows said.

Daniel Sedin finished with two goals, giving him four to go with three assists over the last seven games. Henrik Sedin has eight assists during that stretch.

Eddie Lack stopped 37 shots against the Blackhawks, but the Canucks could turn back to the struggling Ryan Miller. Miller has a 3.31 goals-against average in dropping five of seven starts, and he's allowed five goals in two of his last three with a 31-save shutout against Pittsburgh in between.

Miller went 26-9-7 with a 2.56 GAA against the Bruins while with Buffalo, tied for his second-most wins against any opponent.

Tuukka Rask made 27 saves against the Canucks last February for his first win in three career meetings. He's 4-1-2 with a 1.67 GAA in seven road starts in 2015.

Daniel and Henrik Sedin have been limited to 12 and eight points in 21 games apiece against Boston, including the postseason.

Coming off back-to-back defeats, the Bruins are hoping to step up their play on what they're expecting to be a grueling five-game road trip.

Boston (28-19-7) will also visit Calgary, Edmonton, St. Louis and Chicago, with all but the Western Conference-worst Oilers sitting in playoff contention. The Bruins, who are 4-1-1 in their last six away from home, are clinging to the East's second wild-card spot.

"This road trip - people talk about bonding and this and that, but I think right now, it's more about, let's go out there and do our jobs, game in, game out," coach Claude Julien told the team's official website. "It's Vancouver that we need to be focused on right now - not Calgary, not Edmonton, or St. Louis, Chicago.

"Let's focus on really what we have to do, here, because if we can get ourselves a good start, it will make a big difference."

The Bruins had won eight of 10 before managing eight goals during a 1-3-0 stretch. They fell 3-1 to Montreal on Sunday before closing a three-game homestand with Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Dallas.

"Sometimes, a change of scenery is good," said forward Milan Lucic, who has seven points in the last seven games. "We've been a pretty good home team, other than the last two games, but it's always exciting to head out West and have a change of scenery."

The Bruins have dropped two of three to the Canucks since beating them in seven games in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final. Boston took the last matchup 3-1 on Feb. 4, 2014, behind a goal and an assist from Lucic.

"To me, if we can get that intensity and that commitment carrying into our games, we're going to be OK," Julien said. "We've hit a bump here, and I don't want it to be any longer than it already has been, so we need to up our intensity and our commitment and go out there and know it's going to be a tough battle."
