Daniel Sedin to return as Canucks host SabresSaturday, 03.22.2014 / 4:27 PMNHL.com Staff
PrintSABRES (20-42-8) AT CANUCKS (32-30-10)
TV: MSG-B, BELL TV, SNET-P
Last 10: Buffalo 2-8-0; Vancouver 4-6-0
Season series: This is the second and final game between the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks beat the Sabres 3-0 in Buffalo on Oct. 17. That game featured Roberto Luongo in goal for the Canucks and Ryan Miller for the Sabres; both have since been traded.
Big story: After missing nine games with a hamstring injury, Vancouver left wing Daniel Sedin will play Sunday for the first time since March 2. Center Ryan Kesler, who's dealing with a knee injury, skated Saturday and will be a game-time decision.
"Danny is in. Not sure on [Kessler]. We will make a decision tomorrow," coach John Tortorella said after practice Saturday.
Team Scope:
Sabres: Buffalo, which snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 3-1 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday, has started different goalies in each of its past three games: Jhonas Enroth, Nathan Lieuwen and Matt Hackett. Lieuwen will get the call Sunday and will make his second NHL start facing the team we cheered for as a kid.
"It's incredible. Obviously The past week has been a whirlwind for me but this is just pretty special. [The Canucks] were my team growing up so it will be cool to play in this building." Lieuwen said after practice.
It's the third game of a five-game road trip for the Sabres who have a league-worst eight road wins this season.
"Vancouver is one of those teams desperate for points so they are going to come at us hard and we have to make sure we come out ready," coach Ted Nolan said.
Canucks: The return of Sedin and possibly Kesler should provide a boost to the Canucks' hopes of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Each has 40 points, tying them for second on the team behind Henrik Sedin.
"We've been working extremely hard. You can tell by watching the games," Daniel Sedin said. "If we keep that going, we're going to get our share of wins."
The Canucks are coming off of a 2-0 win against the Nashville Predators on Wednesday and are seeking their second straight win. They haven't won back-to-back games since Jan. 18-21 and have dropped five points behind the Phoenix Coyotes, who own the second wild-card playoff position in the Western Conference. But they're not ready to concede.
"We definitely aren't counting ourselves out. We have a group in here that's not going to give up and we're taking it a game at a time and our next task is against Buffalo," forward Zack Kassian said. "It's a big two points. We can't afford to lose any more hockey games."
Who's hot: Sabres forward Cory Conacher figured in all three goals Thursday with two goals and an assist. Drew Stafford has a goal in each of his past two games. … Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows has five goals and eight points in three games. Henrik Sedin has five assists in three games. Defenseman Kevin Bieksa has assists in three straight games.
Injury report: Sabres forward Kevin Porter (lower body) is on injured reserve. Forwards Chris Stewart (ankle), Zemgus Girgensons (lower body), defensemen Alexander Sulzer (upper body), Tyler Myers (elbow) and Enroth (lower body) are out. Goalie Michal Neuvirth (lower body) is questionable… Canucks defenseman Andrew Alberts (concussion) and forward Mike Santorelli (shoulder) are on IR. Defenseman Christopher Tanev (finger) is out. Burrows (finger) left the game Thursday and will be out.

Already 2-zip for Buffalo-Lack is looking more & more like Luongo every day.
Let's hope for a Canucks-like collapse from Buffalo.

stanton had another redirect, but into his own net, again.
the other one, garrison Abandoned his post, and was left behind,
leaving bieksa and lack all alone.
i can't fault lack on either goal.
of course a goalie can always stop everything,m even those he shouldn't, but
they are only human, they all need each other, to play well.
Yeah, they were sleeping for 3 or 4 minutes, but I don't think it's going to be a big deal like some may hope.
Looks like the boys are on a roll now, especially the new hires!
I see they are back to playing .500 hockey.
canucks 1 behind dallAs, they have 3 games in hand
canucks 3 behind phoenix, they have 2 games in hand.
winnipeg is 1 behind vancouver - 1 game in hand
nashville is 4 behind vancouver - 1 game in hand.
zack kassian had a great game tonight, signs of more to come from him as he matures,
his natural talent is deep. remember he just turned 22
wednesday in minnesota, thursday in colorado

Looks like the Leafs (losing 5 straight) may join Vancouver on the outside looking in. They were in 3rd before this losing streak, and now they are in 8th, only 1 point up on Washington! Since Bernier went down, Reimer has NOT played well at all. It looks like both Toronto and Vancouver are having goaltending problems.
I hope both teams make it, but it doesn't look good.

yep, toronto is definitely on a slide.
vancouver's problems have nothing to do with goaltending, i don't expect goalies to
single handledly win games, i expect the team to chip in.
first goal tonight was garrison's fault, he left his post to chase a player, leaving bieksa and
lack alone, allowing player to come right in and shoot freely.
second goal was stanton's, as he redirected the shot into the goal, that is the third time he
has done that.
lack isn't perfect, but he isn't the problem, not by a longshot.
Yes he did well-caught twice in the face though once by a stick once by the puck maybe he should consider wearing a visor.
When I compared Lack to Luongo I meant letting in the first shots of the game he played well enough after that he usually does.
yeah, that was the first shot. it seems kassian took 10 stitches, yes taylor and valk talked about the
visor thing post game, suggesting that he should be wearing one. i agree, jeesh he could get a tooth
knocked out, lol.
i wonder why he doesn't have a tooth in that 'hole' away from the game, i saw him visitng the childrens
hospice, without the tooth, looks goofy.
Young guy thinks he doesn't have time to sit and drop thousands @ the dentist-thinks he'll have it done later-when it will be more difficult and cost even more.
Coyotes 3
Rangers 4
good, tight match that went into OT - kudos to Lundqvist for extending his team record victory total
St Paul's Ryan McDonagh scored the winner.

i watched the game, a good game, but as soon as the overtime started, i felt the rangers would win,
as coyotes don't play that offensive open game,they need five on five, to play their
good defensive style game, that is their strength.
