Buffalo Sabres vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks

One of the last games to be disputed in the NHL schedule for next Tuesday, January 21st corresponds to the clash between Vancouver Canucks and Buffalo Sabres, a game in which the Canucks are the absolute favorites to win due to the awful performance that the Sabres have had throughout the season. However, the Canadian team mustn’t be overconfident as they haven’t met the expectations yet, as they currently are out of the playoffs’ spots.

In this regard, the only positive news for the Canucks is the fact that they’re just 1 point behind Calgary Flames, which is the team that currently occupies the eighth spot of the Western Conference. Nonetheless, the fact that teams like Seattle Kraken and Utah Hockey Club have scored more goals than them is truly concerning, so players like Conor Garland and Elias Pettersson are expected to increase their effectiveness.

Meanwhile, Buffalo Sabres couldn’t build momentum after their shocking victory over Carolina Hurricanes (4-2), a game in which they showed a solid defensive that totally banished from their games against Pittsburgh Penguins and Seattle Kraken, in which they conceded 5 or more goals per game. With this in mind, it’s more than obvious that the Sabres must start thinking about the next season’s transfers to increase their defensive effectiveness.
