Avalanche looks to halt road woes vs. Kings

Dec 17, 2007 - 3:03 PM Colorado (18-13-1) at Los Angeles (12-19-2) 10:30 pm EST

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - A game against the Los Angeles Kings may be the cure for the road woes of the Colorado Avalanche.

The Avalanche look to win two straight road games for the first time in almost two months when they meet the Kings on Monday.

Colorado recorded a 3-1 victory on Saturday over Nashville for its first road win since defeating Los Angeles on December 1. The win was just the Avalanche's fifth in 17 games away from home this season.

With another win on Monday, Colorado will win two consecutive road games for the first time since October 23-26 and try to win twice at Los Angeles in the same season for the first time since 1985-86.

Making both tasks slightly more difficult will be the likely continued absence of captain Joe Sakic, who is expected sit out his ninth straight contest with a groin injury.

The Kings, losers of three straight, will try to revive their offense that has struggled to manage much lately. Los Angeles fell 2-1 to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday and have been outscored 12-5 during its losing streak.
