This is an 8* play on the Vancouver Canucks.

REASONING: Not many thought Vancouver would jump out to a 3-0 start, but the youth movement is making the most of some home games to start the season and with one last chance before hitting the road, we're looking for the Canucks strong defensive play to carry over here. Vancouver has needed to come from behind in all three games, winning in the shootout and in two OT's. But with a road trip in LA and Anaheim over the weekend, we're expecting the home side to put added emphasis on tonight's contest. Buffalo has a ton of great young talent, but consistency, especially on the road, will be a major issue again this year. So far the Sabres are 1-2, most recently letting a big lead slip away in a 5-4 OT loss in Calgary. With the weekend off to prepare for another road game in Philadelphia next Wednesday, we think the visitors have a letdown tonight. Play on the CANUCKS.
