Avalanche look to continue home success

Dec 29, 2007 - 1:00 PM Los Angeles (12-24-2) at Colorado (21-14-2) 3:00 pm EST

DENVER (Ticker) - After suffering their first home loss in nearly a month, the Colorado Avalanche will look to conclude their four-game homestand on a positive note when they host the struggling Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.

After winning their previous five contests at the Pepsi Center, the Avalanche suffered a 4-2 setback to the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.

If losing to the rival Red Wings wasn't bad enough, Colorado also found out that it would be without its captain for 12 weeks. The club announced Thursday that Joe Sakic would undergo hernia surgery and miss up to three months, possibly longer.

The Avalanche, however, have put together a pretty impressive month without the 13-time All-Star, going 8-4-1 during December. Their 15-4-0 home mark is one of the best in the NHL.

The Kings, on the other hand, have had little to celebrate lately. The club has lost eight consecutive games and registered just five points this month en route to posting the worst record in the league.

Los Angeles has yielded an NHL-worst 128 goals and owns the Western Conference worst penalty kill at just 77.9 percent.
