Wild looks to start new home streak against Avalanche

Jan 6, 2007 - 5:34 PM Colorado (20-18-2) at Minnesota (21-18-2) 8:00 pm EST

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- Few teams need to make the best of their home-ice advantage like the Minnesota Wild.

Minnesota tries to rebound after the end of their eight-game home winning streak Saturday when they host the Colorado Avalanche.

The Wild have the unlikely distinction of having the league's best home record (17-4-1) and worst road mark (4-14-1). They are tied with the Calgary Flames for second place in the tightly-packed Northwest Division, three points behind the Vancouver Canucks.

Mark Parrish scored his 14th goal and Pavol Demitra added a goal and an assist for Minnesota, which had its second eight-game home winning streak of the season snapped in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

After ending December with three consecutive losses, the Avalanche have won two in a row, including Friday's 4-2 triumph over Tampa Bay.

Rookie Paul Stastny had a goal and two assists and captain Joe Sakic netted his team-leading 18th goal of the season and 592nd of his career for Colorado.

The Avalanche have captured two of the three previous encounters against the Wild this season.
