PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Flyers look to keep rolling when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.

Philadelphia has won four straight games and is 11-1-2 in its last 14 contests after Saturday's 6-3 triumph against Pittsburgh.

Mike Knuble scored twice and defenseman Kimmo Timonen handed out four assists for the Flyers, who are second in the Eastern Conference in scoring at 3.41 goals per game.

Colorado is coming off a 3-2 victory over Detroit on Monday, snapping an eight-game losing streak against the Red Wings.

Defenseman Jordan Leopold scored on a penalty shot and added an assist and Andrew Raycroft made 34 saves in the win. It was Raycroft's first start since November 29.

The Avalanche defeated the Flyers, 5-2, on October 16 and have won the last five meetings. Philadelphia last beat Colorado on December 27, 2002 with a 2-1 overtime victory.
