Avalanche prepare to face Sabres at home
The Avalanche opened as 170 favorites to skate to victory Sunday against the Sabres.
Buffalo brings a 16-10-1 overall mark (6-5-0 in the division) into this game versus a Colorado team carrying a 14-9-3 record.
The Avalanche are favored, opening as 170 chalk, with an opening total of 6.5. They are 14-9-3 this season and 16-8-2 OU. The Sabres are 16-10-1 and are 9-17-1 OU.
Buffalo looks to get its forwards going today, after a lame display last game resulted in a 5-0 loss against the Sharks. The Sabres were favorites in that game, which went under the closing total.
Joel Quenneville's troops were at Vancouver against the Canucks last game and came away with a 5-2 loss, a game that went as a push against 7. Oddsmakers had them as 155 money line underdogs in that one.
This game is likely to come down to the Avalanche's execution on offence. They rank 3rd in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 3.8 goals per game average against the Sabres's #16-rated defensive unit.
