The Colorado Avalanche will take on the Buffalo Sabres in NHL action on Thursday.

Buffalo's inconsistency has been a problem for them but would look to benefit from the last and stick more wins in the upcoming games. Placed second last in the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division with 21 points, they have everything to play for and would like to improve further to be better with each game.

Avalanche vs Sabres Key Stats
Colorado's offense has done well with over three goals per game this season. The offensive unit has delivered for the team and is one of the reasons for the positive run. Mikko Rantanen led from the front with over 28 goal involvements to his credit and will be very crucial for them in the coming game.
Moreover, their defense has helped the team to come out as winners on many occasions. The goaltenders have had a fair share in it with over 600 saves, thus making the defense look settled.
Buffalo have been decent on offense this season with contributions from players like Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson. Both have steered their offense with over 52 goal involvements between them and will play a crucial role in the upcoming games.
They need improvements in their defense, which has been a failure this season to make it better for future games.
Avalanche vs Sabres Betting Prediction
Colorado will be brimming with confidence ahead of this encounter. They come with a better offensive and defensive setup against a struggling Sabres team. Colorado's astonishing away record puts them in front.
Sabres won their last game and will be cautious against the Avalanche due to their poor defensive record. They have lost six of their last 7 home games and this very stat makes them the unlikely winner in this game.
Prediction: Take, Colorado,-1.5(+128)
