Avalanche’s Roy Wins In Denver

Associated Press

NHL

Adam Deadmarsh scored a goal and set up Joe Sakic’s game-winner in the second period as the Colorado Avalanche ended a two-game home losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Friday night.

Patrick Roy made 18 saves and won for the first time in Denver and evened his record with the Avalanche at 3-3. Grant Fuhr made his career-best 34th straight start and was spectacular in goal for the Blues, who had been unbeaten in their five previous road games.

Colorado beat Fuhr at 15:07 of the second period with Al MacInnis in the penalty box for hooking. Deadmarsh found Sakic with a cross-rink pass and Sakic sent a wrist shot past Fuhr at 16:51 for his 23rd of the year.
