After letting two crucial points slip away against the Boston Bruins on Saturday, the entire Vancouver Canucks team showed up on Sunday against the Buffalo Sabres — a 4-2 victory.
Now comes the toughest part of this road trip, a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins who are in decent position to repeat as Stanley Cup champions. No team has been tougher to beat on the road than Sidney Crosby’s group, who sits at 22-3-3 at home.
If the Canucks are to pull off two shocking upsets on this road trip (the first being against the Columbus Blue Jackets five days ago), they’ll need Ryan Miller to bust out of this lengthy slump that has sunk the team in the Western Conference standings.
