League: NHL – United States of America

Last 10 matches: Colorado 5-4-1; Calgary 7-2-1
Colorado owned the division and the Western Conference in general during the month of October, but now Calgary stands poised to take the Northwest lead with a win Tuesday. This is the beginning of a three-game road trip through Western Canada for the Avalanche, who made a similar trip a couple weeks back and defeated both the Flames and Oilers while losing to the Canucks.The quick start Calgary got off to last time against Colorado was part of a season-long pattern the Flames have scored the first goal in 15 of their 18 games.
Defenseman John-Michael Liles (shoulder) and forward T.J. Galiardi (ankle) are traveling with the Avalanche and could return on the Canadian trip.
Colorado forward Marek Svatos has three goals and four points in his last five games, while defenseman Kyle Quincey has four assists over the same span.

Calgary captain Jarome Iginla is heating up, with six goals in as many games. He’s creeping up on Rene Bourque, who has a goal and three assists over his last four games, for the team scoring lead. Live score and results will be available soon..
