Avalanche look to stay hot at home against Sharks

Dec 3, 2007 - 4:14 PM San Jose (12-8-4) at Colorado (14-10-1) 9:00 pm EST

DENVER (Ticker) -- Something has to give on Monday when the Colorado Avalanche host the San Jose Sharks.

With a 8-3-2 record, San Jose is one of the NHL's most successful teams on the road. At 10-2, Colorado is one of the league's best at home.

The Avalanche continued to alternate wins and losses for the fifth consecutive game on Saturday, winning 5-2 at Los Angeles. Colorado captain Joe Sakic didn't play because of a sore groin, ending his streak at 232 games. Ryan Smyth snapped a recent scoring slump with a pair of third-period goals. Smyth had only one goal in his previous 13 games.

Colorado went into the game with the worst road record in the Western Conference. In their last eight games, the Avalanche are 2-for-37 on the power play.

It will be the back end of a home-and-home series for the Sharks against Colorado. Joe Thornton scored two goals and added an assist for San Jose in celebrating his two-year anniversary from his departure from Boston on Saturday in the Sharks' 3-2 victory.

The teams have split a pair of regular season games, each winning at home.
