The Colorado Avalanche beat the Buffalo Sabres 6–5 in overtime on Thursday night. Colorado forced overtime by scoring twice in the final three minutes after losing their starting goalie to injury early in the period.

Buffalo's Zach Benson got tangled up with Colorado's Parker Kelly early in the third and went down in the crease, landing on the back of goalie Scott Wedgewood's right leg. Wedgewood immediately went down and ended up curled up on his back inside the net.
