The Vancouver Canucks face the Buffalo Sabres with both teams heading in opposite directions this season. The Canucks have a 28-11-3 record and with four wins in a row, they have the best record in the Pacific Division. The Sabres have an 18-20-4 record and are near the bottom of the Atlantic Division. The Canucks look to leap to the top of the Western Conference while the Sabres hope to rebound in the Eastern Conference and the upcoming game should be a good one as a result. https://winnersandwhiners.com/games/nhl/1-13-2024/vancouver-canucks-vs-buffalo-sabres-prediction-9166/ The Canucks are having a great season with their offense looking like the league's best, scoring 3.90 goals per game with 21 goals in the last four games. J.T. Miller, Elias Pettersson, and Brock Boeser have scored 68 goals and 83 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense is also great. Ilya Mikheyev, Dakota Joshua, and Conor Garland have combined for 26 goals and 36 assists while defensemen Quinn Hughes and Filip Hronek have added 14 goals and 73 assists from the point to put the offense over the top. The offense has been great but the defense has also stepped up, allowing only 2.60 goals per game. While Hughes and Hronek have combined for 7.3 defensive point shares and 74 blocked shots, Tyler Myers, Ian Cole, and Carson Soucy have combined for 4.6 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. Additionally, goaltender Thatcher Demko has been great with a .916 save percentage and a 2.55 goals-against average on 908 shots with 6.5 goals saved above average.

Granato sure does. I was so surprised to see him jump right in as a penalty killer, but he is great there. I think the organization likes him a lot.

Hopefully nothing serious

And Bromley then played for Vancouver, our next opponent

I think its the 3-4 defense with dime coverage on the PK

I like yours, too. It's just that when I didn't see a GDT posted I figured you had been demoralized by the latest defeat and had thrown in the towel

Will hate to see this place if we lose tonight!

Go Sabres

Over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Is Greenway the right guy on that line?

Beautiful goal! Mitts works on this line

To punctate or to not punctuate? That is the question

Calling Tage Thompson!

I'd have to say Clifton was a good pick up

I think we got away with an interference penalty there

EJ nice play

Nice goal, Skinner opened him up and put it home

Got that one!!!! Skinner!
