| Network) - Without two of their best offensive players, goals figure to be hard to come by for the Blues. The way Chris Mason played last night, that shouldn't matter. The Blues aim for a season-high fourth straight win tonight, when they visit the Colorado Avalanche at the Pepsi Center. St. Louis has been without forward Paul Kariya for the last eight games due to a lower-body issue, while McDonald has missed the last three contests because of a broken left ankle that will sideline him for about two months.

| (MySportsbook) - The Colorado Avalanche will try to get back on track tonight, when they take on the Los Angeles Kings in a road test at the Staples Center. The Avalanche are probably just glad to be playing a team other than the Calgary Flames, who just swept Colorado in a home-and-home set and have taken all four meetings so far against their Northwest Division rivals this year. After losing a 4-1 contest in Calgary on Tuesday, the Avs were blanked by the Flames, 1-0, in Colorado two days later. The Avalanch |

| (MySportsbook) - The Calgary Flames had no trouble against the Colorado Avalanche at home this season. They will now try to carry that success into Denver tonight, as the two teams wrap a home-and-home set at the Pepsi Center. The Flames have won all three of their matchups against the Avalanche this year, outscoring them 12-5. All of those games took place in Calgary, meaning the Northwest Division rivals will battle three more times in Colorado this year. That stretch begins tonight after Calgary's 4-1 win o |

When Roy wasn't pulled by then-coach Mario Tremblay, whom he had been feuding with prior, he declared that he'd never play another game for the Canadiens. Roy was true to his word and forced a trade to the Colorado Avalanche a few days later. He went on to play in 478 games for Colorado, winning two more Stanley Cups while earning his record third Conn Smythe. Roy also had his No. 33 retired by the former Quebec Nordiques franchise after retiring in 2003. But five years |
