Final
Streaking Predators face Avalanche, hope to continue stellar play
Jan 30, 2007 - 4:23 PM Nashville (36-12-3) at Colorado (24-21-4) 8:00 pm ESTDENVER (Ticker) -- It seems as if the Nashville Predators can do anything on the ice.
Winners of 10 of their last 11 games, the Predators aim to stay hot when they take on the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.
Owning the best record in the NHL, Nashville is using its high-powered offense to spark its stellar play. The Predators are second in the league in goals with 182 tallies this season.
Nashville leads the league in wins (36) and points (75), and on Saturday, the Predators extended their winning streak against the St. Louis Blues to 14 games with a 6-3 triumph. Martin Erat and Steve Sullivan scored two goals apiece.
Scott Hartnell and Jason Arnott also tallied for Nashville, which improved to 5-0 against St. Louis this season.
Winners of six of their last eight contests on the road, the Predators don't mind hitting the road. And it might get easier against the Avalanche, who have struggled on home ice this season.
Colorado dropped a 3-1 decision to the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. The Avalanche mustered only 12 shots in the contest, their lowest total since 1999.
The teams have split two meetings this season, including Colorado's 5-3 win on January 1. However, the Avalanche have lost seven of the last nine matchups with the Predators overall.
