January 25th, 2013 by Benjamin Klein Leave a reply »
The red-hot Colorado Avalanche start a four-game road trip on Saturday with a matchup against the undefeated San Jose Sharks.

Colorado has won its last two games after opening the season with a loss at the hands of the Minnesota Wild. The Avalanche shut out the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night behind a great performance by goalie Semyon Varlamov. Matt Duchene also played well, scoring twice and adding an assist in the 4-0 victory.

San Jose has been on fire since the season started, winning three straight games. The Sharks aren’t squeaking by either—they’re averaging five goals per game. Goalie Antti Niemi has been strong in net with a 2.34 goals against average and a .927 save percentage. San Jose's Joe Thornton leads the NHL in points while Patrick Marleau leads the league in goals.
