Final
Avalanche try to end three-game skid vs. Coyotes
Jan 2, 2008 - 1:13 PM Phoenix (18-18-1) at Colorado (21-15-3) 9:00 pm ESTDENVER (Ticker) - For the Colorado Avalanche to snap their three-game losing streak, they will have to get back to their winning ways at home.
The Avalanche will try to bounce back from Monday's shootout loss to the Phoenix Coyotes when they get a rematch Wednesday at the Pepsi Center.
Radim Vrbata put an end to the Coyotes' three-game losing streak Monday. Vrbata had two goals and an assist and scored the decisive tally in the shootout to lift Phoenix to a 4-3 victory over Colorado.
Phoenix goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov made 42 saves and turned away both attempts in the bonus format to stop a personal two-game slide.
Rookie Peter Mueller also scored in the shootout for the Coyotes, who turned to their white road jerseys to salvage the finale of a four-game homestand.
It may not be easy against Colorado, which owns an impressive 15-5-0 home record this season.
