Avs player grades from 5-3 win over Buffalo (+)

We always hang in a Buffalo Stance

We do the dive every time we dance

Jack Johnson: C – I didn’t like his positioning on the first Sabres goal. But like the rest of the team, he picked up his game in the second and third period. Got away with one on that Rasmus Dahlin tangle in the third, leading to the Newhook game-winner.

Erik Johnson: B- – Looked a bit flat to start the game, like several Avs. But he blocked three shots and had a workmanlike effort. Finished plus-2.
