Vancouver has won four of its last five road games and the Canucks should be sky high for this emotional matchup as goalie Ryan Miller returns to Buffalo. Miller is loved for all he did for the Sabres during his 12 years with them before being traded last season.

The 35-year-old Miller still is highly effective posting a 2.14 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Buffalo ranks third from the bottom in goals scored per game at 2.15.

Buffalo has won just 31 percent of its last 67 home games. This is an early start time, but the Canucks are 12-4 ATS when playing on two days rest.

The Canucks are averaging 3.6 goals during their last five games. It's difficult to imagine the Sabres scoring more than one or two goals.
