Last 10 matches: Colorado 3-4-3; Columbus 3-4-3
First of four meetings this season. Columbus dominated the series in 2008-09, not only sweeping Colorado but outscoring its Western Conference rival by a 17-6 margin. Anderson, who hurt his neck when Florida defenseman Keith Ballard collided with him in overtime Wednesday, is not likely to play Saturday. Colorado will be without forward David Jones (torn ACL) and defensemen Kyle Cumiskey (foot) and Ruslan Salei (back).
Columbus lost defenseman Rostislav Klesla earlier this week to a torn groin that is expected to sideline him 4-6 weeks. He joins forwards Derek Dorsett (concussion), Andrew Murray (shoulder) and Fredrik Modin (knee) on injured reserve. Forward Raffi Torres is questionable for Saturday due to personal reasons, as is defenseman Marc Methot with an upper-body injury.
In spite of their tremendous success against the Avalanche last season, the Blue Jackets are still just 8-22-2 in the eight-season series between the teams.
Avalanche forward T.J. Galiardi has scored goals in two straight and has four points in his last three games. Forward Matt Duchene, the third pick in the 2009 Entry Draft, is heating up with five goals and seven points in his last five games. Forward Paul Stastny has two goals and seven points over the same span.
R.J. Umberger had a hat trick and a two-assist game for the Blue Jackets in the last week, while Kristian Huselius has recorded two goals and five points in the last five games. We will post information about results of this match, as soon as posible.
