This is a 6* SITUATIONAL BEATDOWN on the Buffalo Sabres.

REASONING: The Avs come in off a disheartening 3-2 loss in New Jersey, while the Sabres return home after a confidence building 3-2 road in Ottawa. Colorado has now lost four in a row. The Avs are the worst offensive team in the league at just 2.02 GPG, while at the defensive end they come in ranked 30th in allowing 3.39. The Sabres are ranked 24th in scoring at 2.46 GPG and 14th overall defensively in allowing 2.74. Note though that Colorado is just 5-23 in its last 28 when playing on one days rest, while Buffalo sees itself 4-1 at home in the last five in this series. All signs point to a relatively simple victory. Lay the price with confidence on the SABRES.
