Sabres at Canucks | OddsShark Matchup Report
The Canucks improved to 4-3 over their last seven games with a 5-2 win at home over the Ottawa Senators last Tuesday. It was another strong performance by the offense as well, as the team scored at least five goals for the third time in four games. Adam Gaudette has chipped in with two goals and three assists over his last four games since going scoreless in each of his previous four. Before this recent offensive outburst, Vancouver had been held to two goals or less in eight of its previous 11 games.
Since opening the season with a 3-0 record at home, the Canucks are just 3-3-3 in their last nine games in Vancouver per the OddsShark NHL Database.
While the Canucks know all about starting the year strong and then hitting a slump this season, Buffalo’s roller coaster so far in 2019-20 has been even more extreme. The Sabres jumped out to one of the league’s best records at 9-2-1 and looked poised for a breakout season. But since that hot start, Buffalo is 4-9-4 over its last 16 games, falling to 13-11-5 on the season in the process. The Sabres are 2-5 on the moneyline in their last seven games against Vancouver overall.
Saturday’s total is set at six goals at online betting sites. The OVER is 4-1 in the last five games between Vancouver and Buffalo.
Vancouver is a perfect 9-0 in its last nine games against teams from the Atlantic Division after its win over Ottawa on Tuesday. The Canucks get two more Atlantic Division foes at home with the Sabres in this matchup and the Toronto Maple Leafs coming into town next Tuesday night. They’d love to string a few more wins together to get the month of December off on the right foot.
