Avalanche fall to Sabres despite improved play in 4-1 loss

WHERE/WHEN

February 14, 2016 Game 59
First Niagara Center Buffalo, New York

RUNDOWN

The Colorado Avalanche haven’t played a good hockey game in weeks. This isn’t an opinion, just a fact. Despite winning at both Detroit and Ottawa a few days ago, they still won almost entirely because of their goaltending. When they took the ice against the Buffalo Sabres, it was with limited expectations that a team playing it’s third game in three and a half days would come out strong.

What actually transpired was pretty predictable for all involved.
