Buffalo at Colorado

Colorado has won three in a row and has battled through injuries thanks in large part to goalie Pavel Francouz, who has allowed two goals in his last three games. The Avalanche pulled out a 2-1 shootout victory over the Kings on Saturday when Jonas Donskoi scored the lone goal in the shootout and Francouz stopped 20-of-21 shots in regulation. Buffalo has also been hot in winning five of its last six, but the Sabres have lost four in a row to the Avalanche, including a 6-1 trouncing at home on Feb. 4 in the only meeting this season. Buffalo goaltender Carter Hutton has a 3.19 goals-against average and .897 save percentage compared to 2.27 and .927 for Francouz. Colorado has also had three days to prepare for this one. Play the Avalanche for a Max Play.
