The Vancouver Canucks will take on the Buffalo Sabres in NHL action on Tuesday.
Vancouver have failed to ignite their season and have lost 12 out of 16 games. Placed in the bottom half of the Western Conference Pacific Division with 11 points, they stare at the exit from the playoffs. They have lacked consistency over a period of time and will have to play better in the upcoming games to keep their season alive.
Buffalo have had a good start to their season but have been marked by inconsistency, losing their last five games on the trot. They are placed in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division with 14 points and will need a lot of improvement for better results for the rest of the season.

Canucks vs Sabres Key Stats
Whenever Vancouver has played, they have done well on offense with three goals scored per game so far this season. The partnership between Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat has been crucial in the buildup as well as while scoring too. The team will need similar performances from them in this game too.
They have failed to defend properly and lack the proper organization to keep it tight at the back. The defense has let go over 527 shots in 16 games, making it difficult for goaltenders to do their job perfectly. This is the sole reason for their losses and inconsistency and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
Buffalo has done well on offense with 55 goals in 14 games. Both Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson have been brilliant up front, especially Rasmus, who has been involved in 17 goals even after being a defender. He is likely to play an important role in this game.
On defense, they have not performed well even though goaltender Craig Anderson has been brilliant with three wins in the five games he has started but has faltered in the last couple of games, making it difficult for the team to win.
Canucks vs Sabres Betting Prediction
Both teams have played poorly lately and it's a game of redemption. Vancouver have been more inconsistent than Buffalo, which keeps them at a disadvantage. They are 2-5 in their last seven games following a loss of three or more goals and have lost four in their last five games overall.
Buffalo have a better record against a team with a lower win percentage and are 9-2 in their last 11 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. They are likely to get a win in this game to get back to winning ways.
Prediction : Take Sabres. -ML (-120)
