The Buffalo Sabres opened the season with a shutout loss against Boston, but they've bounced back nicely with back-to-back home triumphs over New York Rangers and Vegas. This will be their last home game before embarking on a five-game road swing, and I think they'll close out the homestand with a win.

Colorado had won back-to-back home games prior to taking a 5-2 loss at Columbus its last time out. The Avs are much stronger at home than away from home, entering this contest with a 17-52 record in their last 69 road games.

We can also note that Buffalo netminder Carter Hutton is 5-1 with a 2.24 GAA in his career against Colorado.
