HARRISON, N.J. - The New York Red Bulls are in Vancouver this weekend to face Whitecaps FC in the final out-of-conference game of the regular season. Kickoff on Saturday, September 3 is set for 7 p.m. ET, with coverage on MSG, MSG GO, and Red Bulls Radio.

New York extended the winning streak to nine games last weekend with a 1-0 win over the New England Revolution at Red Bull Arena. The nine-game streak is the longest active streak in MLS, and is tied for the second-longest unbeaten run this season. Colorado had a 15-game streak, while the LA Galaxy and Portland Timbers have both reached nine games.

Bradley Wright-Phillips got the game-winner, extending his own scoring streak to three games. Wright-Phillips has gotten on the score sheet in seven of the last eight, with seven goals and three assists.

The goal was Wright-Phillips' 16 th of the season, tying him with Sebastian Giovinco (Toronto) and David Villa (New York City) for the league lead.

New York will be without MLS assist leader Sacha Kljestan, who received a call up from the U.S. Men's National Team for World Cup Qualifiers, and starting outside back Kemar Lawrence, who will be in camp with Jamaica.

New York is unbeaten in its last four MLS road matches as part of the nine-game streak, with 2-2 draws at Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles and D.C.

The Red Bulls have never beaten Vancouver in six meetings. The Whitecaps enter at 8-12-7, and sit in ninth place in the Western Conference. New York is 3-4-2 against Western Conference teams this season.

Vancouver is 5-3-5 at home this season, but will be without six players due to international duty. Pedro Morales leads Vancouver offensively with six goals and six assists.

After Saturday, New York will return home to host D.C. United on Sunday, September 11. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m., with coverage on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn.
