Sharks aim for sixth consecutive home win vs. Avalanche

Dec 7, 2006 - 3:46 PM Colorado (12-13-2) at San Jose (20-8-0) 10:30 pm EST

SAN JOSE, California (Ticker) - After a successful road trip, the San Jose Sharks will look to continue their home success.

The Sharks aim for their sixth straight home victory when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.

San Jose defeated St. Louis, Minnesota and Detroit on the first three games of its road trip but dropped a 1-0 decision at Dallas on Monday. Evgeni Nabokov made just 12 saves and fell to 7-6-0 for the Sharks, who lost for just the second time in nine contests.

The loss ended the Sharks' five-game winning streak, and it was only their eighth loss of the season, putting them in elite company. The Buffalo Sabres have the best record in the league with only six losses.

Peter Budaj stopped 18 shots for the Avalanche in a 3-0 loss to Columbus. Colorado fell to just 1-7-0 this season when attempting 40 or more shots on net.

After winning just one of the previous 11 meetings against Colorado, the Sharks have won four straight contests against the Avalanche.
