Two goals in two games, five goals (one into an empty net) in four games.
The Avalanche aren't going win much at this rate, and they'll need to find some semblance of offense Sunday in Buffalo to salvage this three-game road trip after getting outscored 9-2 in the first two games.
Here are the GAME NOTES.
Jonathan Bernier is expected to start in goal, and he may have to pitch a shutout to come home with a win.
"We've got to find it, we've got to find another gear offensively," Gabriel Landeskog told reporters after their 3-1 loss Saturday to Carolina. "It hasn't been good enough, and we don't have much time right now."
The power play has gone ice cold, going 0-for-10 on the trip and 0-for-13 in the past four games.
The Avalanche have gone 2-5-1 after winning 10 games in a row, 2-3-0 without Nathan MacKinnon, who remains out with an upper-body injury. They're four points behind Minnesota for the second wild card playoff position in the Western Conference with 28 games remaining.
The Sabres will be without top scorer Jack Eichel, who sustained a high ankle sprain Saturday in Buffalo's 4-2 win in Boston.
