 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Joe Sakic downplayed moving past Paul Coffey into 10th on the NHL's career points list, focusing instead on snapping Colorado's three-game losing streak.
The Avalanche captain had three assists Monday to increase his team lead to 44 points and push him past Coffey in Colorado's 5-3 victory over the Nashville Predators. Sakic's 17 goals and 27 assists this season give him 1,534 points overall.
"It is obviously a lot more fun when you're on the winning end," Sakic said. "It is a special feeling, but the most important thing is winning the game. We had lost three in a row, so to get the win and get out of the loss column was good for us confidence wise. I guess at the end of your career you look back at those things, but right now I'm just concerned with winning."
