Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - Ryan Miller faced his former team for the first time and his 20 saves helped the Vancouver Canucks to a 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. Miller played against the team he won a Vezina Trophy with for the first time since being traded to St. Louis last February. He had a chance to play them late last season while with the Blues, but opted to sit out. His strong game saw his former team drop its 14th straight game, all in regulation, as the team is suffering through a franchise-record losing streak. Bo Horvat, Radim Vrbata, Chris Higgins, Nick Bonino and Yannick Weber all scored for the Canucks, who had lost two straight coming in. Chris Stewart had both the goals for the Sabres, who have also lost 14 straight games on the road. Matt Hackett allowed four goals on 37 shots in the loss. Buffalo took the initial lead in this game on the power play as Stewart stuffed in a rebound four minutes in, but Vancouver tied the game late in the first when Horvat jammed the puck in during a melee in front. The Canucks went on top in the second on a pair of power-play goals, with the first coming at 1:43 on Webers wrister on the fly from the right circle. Less than three minutes later, it was a 3-1 game as Vancouver had the puck down low and Bonino swatted it in out of mid-air for his 11th of the year. It seemed once we got those (goals), then we started to play better, said Vancouver coach Willie Desjardins. Buffalo got another power-play goal from Stewart as he attempted a pass from the left side that hit off a Canuck in front and went in at 14:16 of the second. Vancouver took a 4-2 lead at 5:31 of the third off a crisp play that saw Dan Hamhuis fire a pass from the left point to the slot where Christopher Tanev handed it over to the low right side and Higgins one-timed it home. Vrbatas empty-netter in the final minute accounted for the final score. Game Notes Vancouver hosts Minnesota on Sunday ...

The Flames had a three-game winning streak come to an end with Thursdays 4-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. It was only Calgarys third setback in the past 10 games. Paul Byron, Sean Monahan and Dennis Wideman scored and Jonas Hiller allowed four goals on 22 shots. Widemans goal was his eighth of the season, most among all NHL defensemen. We dont want to lose two in a row. Were in a position to respond, said Flames coach Bob Hartley. Weve been responding very well since the start (of the season). Calgary is, in fact, 7-0-1 this season in games following a loss, with its lone losing streak an 0-1-1 span on Oct. 25-28. The Flames will end a five-game homestand tonight and Karri Ramo is expected to get the start in net. He is 1-0-3 in his career versus the Devils with a 2.37 goals against average and .931 save percentage in five games (4 starts). Calgarys last home game of the month will feature the return of a familiar face in New Jersey forward Mike Cammalleri. The 32-year-old has spent 3 1/2 of his 13 NHL seasons with the Flames. He skated with the club in 2008-09 and posted a career-high 39 goals and 82 points before signing a five-year deal with Montreal the following offseason. The Flames then re-acquired him in a trade with the Canadiens on Jan. 12, 2012 and he finished out that campaiggn with 11 goals and 19 points in 28 games with Calgary.dddddddddddd Cammalleri notched 26 goals and 45 points in 63 points with the Flames last season and then signed a five-year, $25 million deal with the Devils during free agency. One notable difference Cammalleri has seen with the Devils is the goaltending situation. While Hartley has rotated Hiller and Ramo all season, Cory Schneider set a New Jersey club record on Friday night with his 20th straight start to begin a season. The workload didnt slow down Schneider on Friday versus Edmonton as he made 29 saves in a 2-0 victory. It marked his second shutout of the season and 14th of his career and came on the night he broke Martin Brodeurs Devils record of 19 consecutive starts to open the 2001-02 season. Adam Henrique and Tuomo Ruutu each scored and Eric Gelinas tallied two assists for the Devils, who snapped a two-game skid and won for the third time in nine games. You look at the standings, you look around the league, weve got to get on a roll here. We needed to start somewhere, Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. New Jersey wraps a four-game road trip on Tuesday in Vancouver against Schneiders former Canucks club. He figures to start that game, but it is unknown if DeBoer will finally rest his No. 1 goaltender and go with backup Scott Clemmensen tonight. The Devils have been outscored 10-5 over a three-game series losing streak to the Flames, and Calgary is 4-0-1 in the past five meetings at home. ' ' '
