Last 10 matches: Colorado 7-3-0; Dallas 5-5-0
So much for the concern that Anderson wouldn’t hold up under such a heavy workload. He’s started seven consecutive games for Colorado and allowed a total of three goals in his last five, stopping 142 of 145 shots for an extraordinary .979 save percentage.

Neal has two goals and two assists in the last five games for Dallas. Eriksson has three goals and two assists in the last six games. Mike Modano has four goals and an assist in the last seven games. Third of four meetings this season and second in the last six days. Colorado has won both matchups this season on its home ice, 4-1 on Dec. 26 and 4-0 this past Sunday. Craig Anderson stopped all 27 shots for the shutout and the Avalanche extended their winning streak to a season-high six games.
Thanks to an accompanying six-game winning streak by Vancouver, Colorado managed to drop out of the Northwest Division lead even before its own streak was snapped Thursday in a 1-0 loss to Minnesota. That also spelled the end of a five-game homestand for the Avalanche, which still play six of their nine remaining games before the Olympic break at the Pepsi Center. They trail the Canucks by two points.
Anderson had a shutout streak of 146 minutes, 24 seconds ended by Havlat’s goal. … Steve Ott has the lone goal Dallas has scored in two games against Colorado this season. We will post information about results of this match, as soon as posible.
