Canucks secure win despite J.T. Miller's penalty

The Vancouver Canucks came out as winners after Thatcher Demko made 26 saves to defeat the Buffalo Sabres by a score of 1-0. It was his fourth of the season and seventh of his career, with Rick Tocchet praising Demko’s consistency.

“That’s typical Demko, very solid," Tocchet said. "Doesn’t get rattled. Looks big in the net. Just a hell of a game by him.”

Despite a tough and muddy game, Tocchet praised Vancouver’s fighting spirit.

“It was kind of like a mucky type of game which is kind of good." He said. "These are the games, I love when you have these types of games and see that resolve, and I thought we did a good job.”

The only goal came from Sam Lafferty, securing the Canucks’ fifth consecutive away win.

The winter storm caused disruptions during the travel plans of the Canucks, which forced them to remain in Buffalo.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen blocked 22 shots for the Sabres, but they were blanked for the first time since Dec. Lafferty's goal, scored 2:05 into the second period, became decisive.

The second period saw two reviews. Brock Boeser’s goal was negated because of the offside, and J.T. Miller received a 2-minute penalty for elbowing Dahlin. The most promising opportunity for Buffalo to score came in the third period, and Dylan Cozens hit the crossbar. Also, J.J. Peterka’s late attempt was thwarted.
