So the Buffalo Sabres... still having some trouble, eh?
The Avalanche went on the road to face one of the league’s longest-suffering teams on Wednesday night, skating out at First Niagara Center against the Buffalo Sabres to give Carter Hutton a nice wake-up call.
The Avalanche saw two goals from Nathan MacKinnon (he’s back!) to go with four more depth scoring tallies, defeating Buffalo on the road by a decisive 6-1 final score to move to a 3-1-0 record.
The Avs still bled shots, but managed to get it done — and by a sound margin — against a team that entered the game with the same record as Colorado.
