Wolski's eighth delivers victory
Avs' 3rd-period goal secures 3-2 win at Calgary
The Associated PressCALGARY, Alberta - Wojtek Wolski broke a tie at 5:31 of the third period, and Craig Anderson made 30 saves to help the Colorado Avalanche reach 10 victories with a 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.
Wolski, who scored a pair of goals in the Avs' 3-0 victory Tuesday night in Edmonton, scored his team-high eighth goal Wednesday, beating Miikka Kiprusoff with a wrist shot from the high slot.
Anderson has started all 13 games for Colorado (10-1-2).
Calgary's Jarome Iginla and Olli Jokinen scored 15 seconds apart early in the first period, but David Koci and David Jones countered for Colorado in the period.
Colorado has won four consecutive games to set a team record for victories in a month. The Avalanche also improved to 6-1-2 on the road.
Kiprusoff made 11 saves for Calgary.
Iginla opened the scoring at 55 seconds, beating Anderson on a low harmless looking wrist shot from 40 feet out that found an opening just inside the post.
Just 15 seconds later, Jokinen's centering pass from the corner glanced off the skate of an Avs' defenseman and past Anderson.
