The Avs area known offensive force in the NHL, but seem to have tightened up their defense at this point in the season. Kuemper has been very strong in net recently, and the Avs have allowed just 5 goals in his last 5 starts, including two shutouts.

The Sabres are 25th in offense, and have trouble scoring vs good teams. They managed just one goal against Colorado in their last meeting, and just a single vs the Senators in their last game.. Colorado is a huge favorite, even on the puck line, but has been so good on defense that the under has played 6 games in a row. The Avalanche have dominated the Sabres in Buffalo, and likely will tonight . Look for the Avs to win and with little output from the Sabres, the under to play again.
