DENVER – The Buffalo Sabres overcame a slow start and hung with the NHL’s best team for 57 minutes, but they ultimately lost 6-3 to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday at Ball Arena. Buffalo has lost four straight games in regulation and remains winless away from KeyBank Center.

Brindley, who has evolved from training camp surprise to NHL regular to fill-in second-line forward in a hurry, had a goal and an assist Thursday night to help the Colorado Avalanche machine roll on in a 6-3 win against the Buffalo Sabres at Ball Arena.

Schaefer rocketed up the rookie scoring race, equaling Demidov in points and Makar in defenseman goals, igniting the Islanders' power play.

The Colorado Avalanche have rewarded the recent success of rookie forward Gavin Brindley with a two-year contract extension.

On December 10th, the Avalanche will host a celebration of the 1996 Stanley Cup championship team at the Paramount Theatre, presented by KeyBank. The event will feature entertainment, banter, and storytelling from players that helped bring Colorado its first major professional sports championship 30 years ago.

Are the Colorado Avalanche truly as deep as they claim? Tonight’s matchup against the Buffalo Sabres may provide some answers.
