CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Pierre Turgeon and the Colorado Avalanche have been playing well lately in winning four of their last five games.

Turgeon and the Avalanche hope to keep the momentum going when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.

The center, who returned after undergoing off-season shoulder surgery, has been productive with three goals and an assist in his five games back.

In a 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday, Turgeon was held pointless but Milan Hejduk, John-Michael Liles, Wojtek Wolski and Tyler Arnason scored.

The Blackhawks come off an impressive 6-4 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. Chicago wasted little time in taking control, netting five first-period tallies for a 5-1 lead.

However, the Blackhawks allowed three second-period Columbus goals to allow the Blue Jackets to get back in the game.

Lasse Kukkonen scored the lone goal of the third period to give Chicago a 6-4 lead. Martin Havlat led the Blackhawks with a goal and an assist while Denis Arkhipov and Jeff Hamilton each had a goal and an assist.
