Vancouver at Buffalo

The teams meet for the first time this season and Vancouver is riding a four-game win streak after defeating Pittsburgh 4-3 in overtime on Thursday night. Elias Pettersson had two goals and two assists, including the game-winner in overtime after the Penguins had tied it with 28 seconds left in regulation. Buffalo has split its past 10 games and did get a 5-2 victory over Ottawa two nights ago when Tage Thompson scored twice. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is likely in net and he is 9-8-2 with a 3.01 goals-against average. Thatcher Demko is 21-8-1 for the Canucks with a 2.55 GAA and a .916 save percentage with three shutouts. Demko stopped 32 of 35 shots against the Penguins. Vancouver has won its past four road games and the Sabres are 1-7 after scoring at least five goals its previous game. Play the Canucks as a Max Play.
