Sakic, Avalanche aim to close homestand with win

Dec 15, 2006 - 2:58 PM Edmonton (16-13-2) at Colorado (15-4-2) 9:00 pm EST

DENVER (Ticker) -- Captain Joe Sakic said before the Colorado Avalanche's three-game homestand that they have to take care of business on their home ice.

The Avalanche have won their first two game of the homestand, and go for a sweep when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Friday.

Colorado pounded the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes, 5-2, on Monday before downing the St. Louis Blues, 4-1, on Wednesday.

In the triumph over the Blues, Milan Hejduk and Paul Stastny each had a goal and an assist for Colorado, which outshot St. Louis, 46-26.

Pierre Turgeon also had a goal and an assist. The center has three goals and an assist in four games since he was activated after undergoing off-season shoulder surgery.

The Oilers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.

Jarret Stoll and Shawn Horcoff scored goals 14 seconds apart late in the third period to break a 1-1 tie. Matt Greene scored his first goal of the season earlier in the period.
