Colorado are in great shape and have mounted a nine-game winning streak. Not all of the games ended in regulation - for example, the Avalanche prevailed over Boston (4:3 OT) and Montreal (3:2 OT) in overtime, and needed a penalty shootout to beat Minnesota (4:3 SO).
The Avalanche have an impressive stats of home games: they didn't lose in the last 17 games in Denver.
Buffalo have issues with the line-up as nine of their players are on injury list and two more are doubts for the upcoming game. Despite all the setbacks, the Sabres continue to earn points - in the last six games they suffered only two defeats.
