03/01/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Avalanche start up a crucial five-game road trip this evening at the United Center against a Chicago Blackhawks squad that's hoping to end a recent slide.
Colorado begins this trek in 10th place in the Western Conference standings and 11 points behind the Minnesota Wild, the team that is holding down the conference's eighth and final playoff spot. For the franchise to advance to the postseason for a 12th consecutive season, the Avalanche need a strong performance on the road, where the club is just 12-15-2 on the season.
The Avs come in on a good note, however, as they halted a three-game losing spurt with Tuesday's 3-2 home win over Columbus.
Peter Stastny extended his point streak to 13 straight games with his 22nd goal of the season. The rookie standout has 19 points (8 goals, 11 assists) during the tear, which is the longest active streak in the NHL.
Teammate Andrew Brunette has notched a point in 11 consecutive contests after scoring the game's first goal. The veteran forward has five goals and 12 assists during his run.
Milan Hedjuk finished with a pair of assists for Colorado, which nearly received a shutout from Peter Budaj. The Slovakian netminder, who ended with 23 saves, allowed two goals in the final 1:56 of action.
Chicago fell for the sixth time in its last seven outings after Tuesday's 4-1 setback to Detroit at the United Center. Jeff Hamilton had the only goal for the Blackhawks, who played without leading scorer Martin Havlat.
Havlat sat out the contest with the flu but is expected to be available tonight.
Chicago traded its second-leading point-getter, center Bryan Smolinski, to Vancouver on Monday for a second-round pick in the 2007 draft.
The Blackhawks will wrap up a four-game homestand tonight and bring a 12-15-4 record at the United Center into this evening's tilt.
Chicago has won two of its three earlier meetings with Colorado this season, including a 2-1 triumph in the Windy City back in December. The Avalanche have emerged victorious in five of their last seven trips to Chicago, however.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
