Recap: Avs roar back to beat Buffalo, kick off the New Year in style

In the first game of 2025, the Colorado Avalanche beat the Buffalo Sabres for the second time this season by a final score of 6-5 in overtime.

Let’s break down all the action from tonight!

First Period

Some poor defensive play early in this game cost Colorado and put them in a 2-0 hole early. First, Jason Zucker would get the Sabres on the board first on the power play, as he managed to get to the front of the net completely unchallenged.
