Roberto Luongo will make his third straight start Friday night as Vancouver hosts the rival Chicago Blackhawks, who have earned 13 of a possible 14 points to start the season.

Canucks general manager Mike Gillis has made no secret he's actively shopping Luongo, who entered 2013 as Schneider's backup after posting his fewest wins (31) since 2003-04. Luongo also gave way to Schneider after dropping the first two games of a first-round playoff loss to eighth-seeded Los Angeles.

Schneider started four of the team's first five games this year, posting a 3.13 goals-against average and being relieved by Luongo in an opening-night loss to Anaheim.

Luongo has been solid, though, going 1-0-2 with a 1.61 GAA after making 24 saves in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Colorado.

The Blackhawks (6-0-1) set a franchise record by winning their first six games before falling 3-2 in a shootout to Minnesota on Wednesday to begin a six-game road trip.

Captain Jonathan Toews, who scored his fourth goal, said the hot start will only benefit them in a shortened season.

One reason for Chicago's success has been a penalty-killing unit that has snuffed out 26 of opponents' 27 chances with the man advantage.

The Blackhawks have killed off all 19 short-handed situations on the road, while Vancouver has converted just 1 of 15 power-play chances over its last three games.

Vancouver has won five of the last seven home meetings, including the playoffs.
