The Colorado Avalanche staged a remarkable comeback, overcoming a four-goal deficit to defeat the Buffalo Sabres 5-4. Artturi Lehkonen netted the game-winner late in the third period, while Nathan MacKinnon contributed two goals and an assist.

Backup goalie Scott Wedgewood made a strong debut, stopping all 22 shots he faced after replacing Alexander Georgiev. This victory marked a significant achievement for the Avalanche, as they rallied from a four-goal deficit for the first time since 1988.
