PLAYERS TO WATCH

Buffalo

• Dylan Cozens also enters tonight on a career-best six-game point streak, with three goals and four assists in that span.
• Erik Johnson will play his former team for the first time since departing the Avalanche via free agency this past summer. Johnson played 717 games spanning 13 seasons with Colorado and won the Stanley Cup with the franchise in 2022.

Colorado

• Forward Mikko Rantanen leads the Avalanche and is tied for sixth in the NHL with 12 points (5+7) in seven games.
• Cale Makar leads NHL defensemen with an average of 1.29 points per game and is tied for seventh with a plus-6 rating.
