The Colorado Avalanche took care of business this evening with a wonderful victory over the Vancouver Canucks riding Milan Hejduk’s hat trick to a 3-1 victory.
They then headed to the locker room and nervously watched the San Jose Sharks hold off the Calgary Flames 4-3.
This keeps their slim playoff hopes alive. With two games remaining for each team, the Avs now trail the Flames by 3 points.
The Avs next need to take care of business against Peter Forsberg and the Nashville Predators on Saturday, while the Flames host Edmonton with a game against their arch rival Oilers.
Lets hope that Sundays game versus the Flames means something and the Avs prevail sending the Flames to early tee times.
Go Avs!
