 DENVER (AP) - Catching Calgary doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore. Milan Hejduk scored 19 seconds into overtime and the Colorado Avalanche overcame a two-goal deficit to beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3 on Sunday night as they improved to 8-0-1 in their past nine games.
"I went down and tried to fake the shot, and he went down, and I shot it over him," said Hejduk, who beat Evgeni Nabokov for his 45th career game-winning goal. "It's a huge two points for us. It was a big game for us, a big win, and we need to keep it going."
In their charge to catch Calgary for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, the Avs pulled within four points of the struggling Flames, who have lost three straight and are 1-4-1 in their past six.
