IT’S BEEN AWHILE

The Sabres are looking for their first win against the Avalanche since Dec. 4, 2005, a 6-4 win in Colorado.

Cody McCormick and Alex Tanguay, who each suited up for the Avalanche in the that game, are the only players to play in the

contest who are on either team’s roster today. Daniel Briere was scratched for the Sabres.

At over nine years, the Sabres’ drought against the Avalanche is their longest against any opponent.

While the Avalanche have won the last seven matchups with the Sabres, four were decided in either overtime (once) or a shootout

(three times).

Buffalo’s four-game losing streak (0-2-2) at home against the Avalanche since the Sabres’ win on March 24, 2003 is the longest in

franchise history against Colorado/Quebec. BACK-TO-BACKTonight’s game opens up Buffalo’s eighth of 19 sets of back-to-back games this season, which will conclude tomorrow at BOS. TheSabres are 2-5-0 in the first game of back-to-back sets and 3-4-0 in the second game. Buffalo’s point breakdown in previous back-to-back sets is: four points (1), three points (0), two points (3), one point (0) and zero points (3). HEATING UP BEFORE WINTER

The Sabres are 10-4-0 in their last 14 games, winning 10 games in a 14-game span for the first time since the last 14 games of a 15

game stretch from Feb. 29 to March 27, 2012 in which they went 11-2-2. The Sabres will look to make it 11 wins in 15 games tonight

for the first time since that same stretch.

With a .500 record (6-6-1) in November, the Sabres had their best month since they went 5-5-2 in December 2013. The 13 points

earned by the team last month was Buffalo’s highest total in a month since the team went 8-4-0 in April 2013. LOGGING BIG MINUTESEntering Friday night’s games, Tyler Myers ranks ninth in the league with an average time on ice of 25:45 per game. He skated acareer-high 31:34 on Nov. 29 at MTL and has averaged 28:11 in his last 10 games; it is the highest 10-game average ice time of hiscareer. Myers last led the Sabres in ice time in a season in his rookie season of 2009-10, when he averaged 23:44 per game. MY NAME IS JHONAS

In his last 11 games, Jhonas Enroth has compiled a 9-2-0 record, with a .935 save percentage and a 2.20 goals-against average.

Enroth is 4-0 on the season in shootouts, having allowed just one goal on 18 attempts (.944).

According to Elias Sports Bureau, Enroth’s fourth career shutout on Tuesday vs. LAK made him the first goaltender in NHL history

to record his first four shutouts in 1-0 wins. “BALSO PAR ZEMGU”

Second-year Latvian forward Zemgus Girgensons ended week four of the 2015 NHL All-Star Game Fan Vote with 1,089,865 votes.

This total makes him a distant leader, ahead of second-place Patrick Kane (586,310) and third-place Jonathan Toews (573,198).

More than 82 percent of his total votes were cast by Latvians.

His nine goals this season have already bested his total of eight from his 70-game rookie season.

Girgensons has averaged a 10-game career-high 20:51 of ice time in his last 10 games and leads all Sabres forwards with an

average ice time of 18:49 per game this season. BUF-COL CONNECTIONSFormer Sabres:

Colorado Avalanche: Media Notes

STUART PLAYS 1,000TH GAME Brad Stuart appeared in his 1,000th NHL game on Thursday night in Pittsburgh. He became the 293rd player in NHL history – and100th defenseman – to reach that milestone. The Rocky Mountain House, Alberta native joined Adam Foote, Todd Gill, Milan Hejduk,Ian Laperriere, Patrick Roy and Joe Sakic as the only players to appear in their 1,000th NHL contest as a member of the Avalanche.Stuart is in his first season with Colorado after being acquired from San Jose on July 1, 2014. He was scheduled to play his 1,000thgame on his 35th birthday, Nov. 6, but suffered a hamstring injury on Nov. 4 which forced him to sit out 16 games. Selected thirdoverall by San Jose in the first round of the 1998 Entry Draft, Stuart is the fifth player from that draft class to reach the 1,000-gamesmark, joining Vincent Lecavalier (1,123), Robyn Regehr (1,052), Brad Richards (1,014) and David Legwand (1,008). PICKARD SETS AVS ROOKIE SAVES MARK Calvin Pickard stopped 47 shots in Thursday’s 1-0 overtime loss to Pittsburgh, the most saves by a rookie goaltender in Avalanchehistory. He eclipsed the previous mark of 46 stops set by Marc Denis against Calgary on Nov. 27, 1999. Pickard fell three short of thefranchise record for saves by a rookie netminder (50) set by Quebec’s Clint Malarchuk on March 20, 1983 at Winnipeg. MOST SAVES BY AVALANCHE ROOKIE GOALTENDER 47 Calvin Pickard Dec. 18, 2014 at Pittsburgh 46 Marc Denis Nov. 27, 1999 vs. Calgary 44 Marc Denis Oct. 11, 1999 at Boston 42 Calvin Pickard Nov. 26, 2014 vs. Chicago 39 Calvin Pickard Dec. 13, 2014 vs. St. Louis 39 Philippe Sauve Feb. 28, 2004 at Columbus PICK-ING UP THE SLACK Calvin Pickard, who is in his third stint with the Avalanche this season, has started each of the last four games and seven of the pastnine. Here's a look at the Avs' rookie netminder: • Ranks third in the league with a .934 save percentage (as of Dec. 19). Only Winnipeg's Michael Hutchinson (.937) has a higher Sv% among NHL rookies. • Ranks 10th in the NHL with a 2.27 goals-against average (as of Dec. 19). It's the third-lowest GAA among rookies behind only Hutchinson (1.81) and Boston's Niklas Svedberg (2.24). • Is 4-3-2 with a 1.97 GAA and .943 Sv% in his last nine games, seven starts (518 min, 298 SA, 17 GA). • Has made at least 30 saves in six of his eight starting assignments this year, stopping 39 or more shots in three of those outings. • Set an Avalanche rookie record with 47 saves in a 1-0 overtime loss at Pittsburgh on Dec. 18. • Earned his first two career wins in relief, stopping all 17 shots on Nov. 22 vs. Carolina and all 25 shots on Nov. 25 at Arizona. He became the first goalie in NHL history to record his first two career wins in relief in back-to-back team games. • Had a shutout streak of 149:24 from Oct. 18 to Nov. 26, the longest ever by an Avalanche rookie goaltender. In fact, it was the longest by any Colorado netminder since Patrick Roy went 192:37 without allowing a goal from Jan. 20-28, 2003. COMEBACK TRAIL The Avs have come from behind in each of their last seven victories dating back to Nov. 6. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, thisis the first time in franchise history that the Avalanche/Nordiques have rallied from at least a one-goal deficit in seven straight wins. TheAvs have trailed in the third period in five of those seven victories. Colorado has three multiple-goal comebacks this season, all ofwhich have taken place since Nov. 22. The Avalanche came back from an 0-3 deficit to beat the Coyotes on Nov. 25 after rallying froman 0-2 deficit to beat Carolina in their previous game on Nov. 22. It marked the first time Colorado had won back-to-back games inwhich they faced a multi-goal deficit since Feb 21-23, 1997. The Avs overcame a 3-1 deficit to beat Winnipeg on Dec. 11.
