SABRES 2, Avalanche 1
Biron sharp in the nets as Sabres edge Avalanche
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Miroslav Satan and Geoff Sanderson scored within a 2:20 span in the second period to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night.
Martin Biron made 23 saves, including 10 in the third period, for the Sabres who won their second straight game and are 4-1-1 in their last six.
Adam Deadmarsh scored for Colorado, who ended its four-game road trip 1-2-1 and is 5-5-1 this month.
Satan extended his point streak to six games with his club-leading 16th goal.
Satan opened the scoring with 2:56 remaining in the second period. Michal Grosek passed from behind the net to Satan, who was just beside the goal, and Satan slipped the puck past Avalanche goalie Patrick Roy.
Sanderson scored with 36 seconds remaining in the period, netting his fifth of the year by tipping in Rhett Warriner's shot from the right point. Sanderson scored for the first time since October 29, and ended a career-long 19-game goal drought.
Deadmarsh made it 2-1 when he picked up a loose puck in traffic in the right faceoff circle, and took a wrist shot that sailed over Biron's right shoulder.
