The Vancouver Canucks lost 6-3 to the Boston Bruins last night and will be playing back-to-back games when they travel to Western New York to take on the Buffalo Sabres. Buffalo is coming home after a 4-game road trip that ended in Las Vegas on Tuesday so they will be well rested. The Sabres seem to be catching on to Phil Housley’s system and that was evident in their last 2 games against the Anaheim Ducks and the Vegas Golden Knights. Buffalo has yet to win at home but that should happen tonight. The Canucks are 16-35 in their last 51 overall, 15-37 in their last 52 road games, and 2-5 in their last 7 trips to Buffalo. Keep an eye on the Sabres – they are moving in the right direction.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
