Cogliano, Oilers looking to stay hot vs. Avalanche

Mar 13, 2008 - 1:07 PM Edmonton (34-31-5) at Colorado (38-27-6) 9:30 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) - With a little luck, Edmonton Oilers rookie Andrew Cogliano can add to his NHL record on Thursday when the team visits the Colorado Avalanche.

The 20-year-old Cogliano set an league record by scoring his third overtime goal in as many games on Tuesday in a 4-3 win over St. Louis.

Cogliano also netted the overtime game-winners in a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday and a 6-5 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks two days later.

"Things like this don't happen often," Cogliano said. "I think I've just been really lucky to have those opportunities go in for me. But yeah, three in a row, that feels pretty good."

The wins have jump-started Edmonton's slim playoff hopes - the team is in 11th place in the Western Conference, seven points behind the eighth-place Vancouver Canucks.

The Avalanche improved to 7-1-0 during their last eight games on Tuesday, forging a 5-2 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers.

Andrew Brunette scored two goals while Joe Sakic and rookie David Jones each added a tally and a pair of assists to lead Colorado, which tied the Calgary Flames (36-24-10) for first place in the Northwest Division.
