NHL Odds Analysis and Game Preview
It is going to be interesting to see how fortunes change for Buffalo once the trade deadline has passed. Coach Ted Nolan has made it perfectly clear that his team will be selling, and those changes may just shake things up for the better. There are some signs of life in Buffalo, as they have managed to pick up points in 4 of their last 5 games. It really isn’t enough to make any kind of impact, but it may be a sign that this team is not yet ready to just roll over and die. Their win over Columbus on Tuesday night was the first time that the Sabres had scored 4 goals in a game since Jan 18th, which was a loss at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings.
The Sabres have a tough one on Thursday night, as they welcome in the high flying Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver has been playing some solid hockey of late, and look as though they are going to settle in nicely in to second spot in the Pacific Division. They really don’t have much of a shot at catching the Anaheim Ducks, but they are doing enough to distance themselves from the Kings, Flames, and Sharks, all of whom are trying to keep pace. The Buffalo game is the final leg in a 5-game road swing out East, which has already proven to be a success. The Canucks have won 3 of the 4 games on this trip, and have to be considered solid favorites to make it 4 out of 5.
