Blackhawks swept under by Avalanche
Hockey Betting Lines
03/02/2007 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brad Richardson and Jeff Finger each had a
goal and an assist, and Peter Budaj made 23 saves as the Colorado Avalanche routed the Chicago Blackhawks, 6-1, at the United Center.
Brett McLean, Tyler Arnason, Ken Klee and Mark Rycroft all tallied for the
Avalanche, who have won two straight following a three game slide. Ian
Laperriere and Ben Guite each had a pair of helpers for Colorado, and Joe
Sakic also notched an assist, tying Doug Gilmore for 11th place on the all-
time list with 964.
"The guys played well defensively today," said Budaj. "There were not a lot of
scoring chances, but after we took the lead our guys stopped them the rest of
the way. Chicago stopped playing after the fourth goal. It was good for us. We
just kept going after them."
Tuomo Ruutu had the lone goal for Chicago, which has lost seven of its last
eight games. Nikolai Khabibulin surrendered five goals on 31 shots faced.
The Blackhawks drew first blood just 1:11 in, as Ruutu gathered the puck off a
shot by Adrian Aucoin and knocked the rebound past Budaj on the glove side.
The Avs then tied things 1-1 on a controversial goal at 7:43, as Richardson
was pulled down from behind and went sliding into the net, taking the puck
with him. The teams then continued skating for nearly two minutes because no
whistle sounded and the light did not come on above the goal as the puck
bounced back into play. Eventually, the replay showed both the puck and
Richardson's body crossed the goal line, and after a lengthy delay, officials
determined it was a goal.
Colorado made it a 2-1 game at 10:44 in the first, when Milan Hejduk's shot
glanced off the right skate of Khabibulin, and McLean wristed the rebound
shot into a wide open net.
After a scoreless second stanza, Arnason redirected a cross-crease pass by
Richardson past Khabibulin with 7:26 remaining in the contest, making it 3-1.
Colorado then tacked on three goals inside the final two minutes.
Klee's empty net goal made it 4-1, with Sakic getting the assist with 1:52
remaining. Just 28 seconds later, Rycroft scored on a snap shot that went up
and over Khabibuilin.
Finger tallied his first career NHL goal on a wrist shot with just 17 seconds
to play.
"These past two weeks have been a dream come true," said Finger. "I'm excited
and happy (about scoring the goal)."
