Avalanche continue playoff push against Oilers

Mar 23, 2007 - 3:18 PM Colorado (38-29-6) at Edmonton (30-37-7) 9:00 pm EDT

EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- The Colorado Avalanche are not going away quietly.

The red-hot Avalanche continue their desperate late postseason push Friday when they visit the Edmonton Oilers in a Northwest Division clash.

Colorado has not mot missed the playoffs since 1993-94, when the franchise was located in Quebec.

The Avalanche have 82 points and trail Calgary (39-25-10) by six points for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They defeated the Oilers, 5-1, on Wednesday for their ninth win in 10 games.

Ian Laperriere scored two goals while captain Joe Sakic, Brett Clark and defenseman John-Michael Liles also tallied.

Sakic has four goals and six assists in his last four games and has 87 points in 72 career games against Edmonton.

The defending conference champion Oilers have been eliminated from the playoff race and have scored just 11 goals in their 11 straight losses.

Patrick Thoresen scored Edmonton's only goal against Colorado on Wednesday while Dwayne Roloson was pulled after allowing four goals on 22 shots.
