Final
Flames host Avalanche in first of back-to-back meetings
Feb 15, 2007 - 3:55 PM Colorado (27-25-4) at Calgary (30-19-8) 9:30 pm ESTCALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- Three victories against the same division rival in the next few days would do wonders for the Calgary Flames.
Owners of the league's best home record (23-5-1), the Flames attempt to win for just the second time in six overall contests Thursday in the first of back-to-back games against the Colorado Avalanche.
The Flames remain in a tight battle to defend its Northwest Division title. They are tied with the Vancouver Canucks for first place, one point over the Minnesota Wild.
After losing all three games of its most recent road trip, Calgary snapped a four-game slide with Tuesday's 4-1 triumph over the Atlanta Thrashers. Daymond Langkow scored twice and Jarome Iginla added a goal and two assists.
Colorado surrendered 25 goals in dropping four of its first five games in February before Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. Peter Budaj stopped 39 shots for his second shutout of the season and Milan Hejduk had a goal and an assist.
Opening a three-game road trip, the Avalanche have dropped their last three away from home and are 11-12-1 on the road this season. They are nine points behind the Wild for the final Western Conference playoff spot.
Calgary has won both meetings against Colorado, including a 7-3 victory on January 11, and will also host the Avalanche on Saturday before facing them in Denver on Tuesday.
