| Denver, CO (MySportsbook) - The Colorado Avalanche target an NHL-record ninth straight division title this afternoon when they host the St. Louis Blues at the Pepsi Center in a possible playoff preview. With 103 points, the Avalanche trail the Vancouver Canucks by one point in the Northwest standings. If Colorado plans on keeping its miraculous run intact it must win and hope the Canucks fail to pick up a point in their finale against Los Angeles. Milan Hejduk scored his second goal of the game with 10 seconds |

| Anaheim, CA (MySportsbook) - The Colorado Avalanche hope to keep their slim Northwest Division title hopes alive tonight when they skate into Anaheim to face off with the Mighty Ducks at the Pond. With 101 points, the Avs trail Vancouver by three points with two games to go, and hold a game in hand on the Canucks. A loss or tie tonight by Colorado would give Vancouver its first division title since winning the Smythe in 1993 and in the process halt the Avalanche's amazing eight-year run as division champions. |

It's because of the image of that puck trickling past Cloutier's glove last year against Detroit. PATRICK ROY, COLORADO AVALANCHE - Obviously, where Roy goes the Avalanche go. But this year the microscope will be even closer because many have used last year's seventh-game shellacking in Detroit as a basis for saying he might be done as a money backstop.

| Ottawa, Ontario (MySportsbook) - Ottawa Senators center Mike Fisher is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with a separated left shoulder. Fisher suffered the injury during the second period of Tuesday's 2-2 tie with the Colorado Avalanche. The team will have a better idea on how long Fisher will be out since he is scheduled for more testing on Thursday. The Sens are hoping he will be back for the first round of the 2003 playoffs.
