Wild hoping to end road struggles

Jan 4, 2009 - 2:19 PM Minnesota (18-16-3) at Colorado (19-18-1), 8:00 p.m. EST

DENVER (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Wild did not fare well on the road in the month of December. They're hoping things go a little better in January.

Minnesota opens a four-game road trip on Sunday when it visits the Colorado Avalanche.

The Wild went 0-6-0 away from home last month, scoring a total of seven goals in those games. Minnesota was 4-9-1 in the month overall.

The club could not begin January on the right foot as it fell to Detroit, 3-2, in a shootout on Saturday. Pavel Datsyuk scored the lone goal in the bonus format.

Owen Nolan scored for the sixth time in eight games in the loss for Minnesota, which has split its two meetings with Colorado this season.

The Avalanche have dropped two straight and were pounded, 6-1, by the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.

Darcy Tucker scored the lone goal for Colorado, which has not scored on its last 15 power-play opportunities.
