CANUCKS (35-22-3) AT SABRES (18-38-5)

TV: SNP, MSG-B, BELL TV

Season series: Twelve Vancouver Canucks had a point in a 5-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres at Rogers Arena, sending the Sabres to their 14th straight regulation loss on Jan. 30. Dan Hamhuis and Henrik Sedin each had two assists for the Canucks. Chris Stewart scored the goals for the Sabres.

Canucks team scope: Since replacing injured Ryan Miller, goalie Eddie Lack has been nearly perfect. He's stopped 67 of 68 shots in four-plus periods, and the Canucks have gone 2-0-0 (Lack has gone 1-0-0). Forward Nick Bonino returned Monday after missing the past seven games because of a lower-body injury. The Canucks are without defensemen Alexander Edler, Kevin Bieksa, Christopher Tanev and Frank Corrado.

Sabres team scope: Forwards Tyler Ennis and Zemgus Girgensons each left the game Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets with an injury. Though Ennis may miss a few days with a lower-body injury, Girgensons, who blocked a shot with his foot, could be lost for the season, according to the Buffalo News. "It doesn't look very good," coach Ted Nolan said after the game. The Sabres are already down two defensemen: Josh Gorges (out for the season) and Mike Weber (out for the next two weeks). "It's tough, no doubt," forward Cody Hodgson said, according to the Buffalo News. "Zemgus has been a big part of our team all year and it was tough to see him go down, both him and Tyler."
