Duchene, Iginla Have 3 Points Each As Avs Beat Sabres 5-3

Matt Duchene had a goal and two assists, Jarome Iginla had three assists and the Avalanche kept their slim postseason hopes alive with a 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. John Mitchell scored for the second straight game, and Marc-Andre Cliche, Tyson Barrie and Brad Stuart also had goals as the Avalanche won their second in a row. Andrej Meszaros had two goals and fellow defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen had a goal and an assist for the Sabres. The Sabres have scored the fewest goals in the NHL this season, and the loss of leading scorer Tyler Ennis to a left shoulder injury further depleted a struggling offense. [...] the Sabres found their scoring touch in the third period when Meszaros had his two goals and Ristolainen also scored in the first 8:43 of the third period to make it interesting. Matt Hackett replaced Anders Lindback in goal to start the second period, but he gave up goals to Barrie and Duchene to make it 4-0.
