The Colorado Avalanche are here to beat the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center. The two teams have met already this year, on December 5 in Colorado. Buffalo prevailed, 4-2.
All time, the Avalanche are 16-10-2-2(ties) against the Sabres.
Both teams are in their second game of a back-to-back series. The Sabres were in Boston to face the Bruins last night. They won 4-2.
Colorado was in Carolina to face the Hurricanes, losing 3-2. For the Avalanche, this marks their ninth back-to-back series.
So far, the Avalanche are winless on their road trip. As Avs analyst Mark Rycroft pointed out, that makes tonight’s game a must-win for Colorado.
