Two teams looking to end their own losing streak, the Buffalo Sabres and the Colorado Avalanche slug it out on Tuesday at KeyBank Center. The Avalanche have lost three of their last four games, including back-to-back defeats dealt by the Dallas Stars 3-5 and the Edmonton Oilers 1-4. After blazing start to his campaign, Nathan Mackinnon has only scored two points in the last five games. Mackinnon leads the Avalanche with 36 points off the back of 39 assists and 7 goals. The Sabres have dropped their last three assignments with their latest defeat coming against the New York Islanders 0-3. Alex Tuch has scored three of a team-best 8 goals in the last five games. Unfortunately, the right winger could only launch two shots in the loss to New York.

Our Buffalo Sabres vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction

Colorado are 9-2 in their last 11 head-to-head matches with the Sabres. The Avalanche is a team capable of scoring successive goals in a hurry as they average 3.20 goals per contest this season. Unfortunately, they have been struggling to beat the spread this season at 7-18 ATS. I am rolling with the Avalanche to win by two goals still for the reason that Buffalo has been shut down twice in the past three games. Our betting prediction for the Colorado Avalanche vs. Buffalo Sabres: Pick the Avalanche to cover -1.5 goals, +176, at FanDuel.

Prediction:

 

Avalanche will cover -1.5 goals
