Blues take on Avalanche

Dec 9, 2007 - 2:47 PM St. Louis (16-9-1) at Colorado (15-12-1) 8:00 pm EST

DENVER (Ticker) -- Two teams coming off narrow victories in their last game meet on Sunday when the Colorado Avalanche host the St. Louis Blues.

Milan Hejduk scored a power-play goal late in the second period and Jose Theodore stopped all 10 shots in the third, leading the Avalanche to a 2-1 victory over the Flyers on Friday.

Hejduk has been outstanding in his career against the Blues, registering 12 goals and 12 assists in 31 contests.

St. Louis posted a 4-3 triumph against the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. Doug Weight scored his first goal of the season with just under six minutes left in the third period to lift the Blues to their ninth victory in their last 12 games.

Brad Boyes scored twice in the victory and now has a team-high 17 goals this season - nine more than Paul Kariya.

The 25-year-old Boyes needs just nine more goals this season to match his career high, which he set during the 2005-06 season while he was a member of the Boston Bruins.
