Sabres vs Canucks

Duke 60   Clemson 47
Record: 3-1

The Canucks are hot and they don't seem like they will be cooling off tonight against the Sabres.
The Canucks have won their last four and took care of two potential Stanley Cup teams in the Penguins and Blackhawks. The Canucks have been playing their best lately when the stakes are higher and the competition is better.
Meanwhile, the Sabres are going the opposite direction than the Canucks. Buffalo is currently the 3rd seed out east with 67 points, but are 1-2-2 over their last five and have given up more than 3 goals in all but one of those games (a win against the struggling Coyotes). Ryan Miller started in the last two losses and has given up four goals to the Kings and five to the Sharks on the road. Buffalo's defense, normally very good, has been very shaky lately and Miller has bailed the team out with some brilliant saves that could have made these games much worse.
I think that the Canucks are hitting on offense right now and Buffalo is starting to show some weakness and fatigue. Ryan Miller has been good, but he will need to be excellent tonight against the Canucks if they want a win. Take the Canucks moneyline.
