Shorthanded Avalanche hoping to get offense back on track

Jan 6, 2009 - 1:25 PM Colorado (19-19-1) at Nashville (17-18-3), 8:00 pm EST

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) -- The Colorado Avalanche's injuries appear to have caught up to them.

The Avalanche will try to snap a three-game losing streak when they visit the Nashville Predators on Tuesday.

Colorado, which is without injured centers Paul Stastny and captain Joe Sakic, has managed just two goals over its current slide.

Peter Budaj made 35 saves Sunday, but he did not receive any help from the offense as the Avalanche suffered a 2-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Predators are also hoping to end a losing streak. Jerred Smithson and Jason Arnott both netted a goal Saturday, but Nashville was handed its fourth consecutive loss - a 3-2 setback to the Calgary Flames.

In the midst of a five-game homestand, the Predators have posted a 3-8-1 record over their previous 12 contests.

Nashville hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday and Saturday, respectively, before heading out on the road.
