 DENVER (AP) - Jaroslav Hlinka and Tyler Arnason each had a goal and an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche move into sole possession of first place in the Northwest Division with a 5-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
Colorado has won eight of nine, including five straight at home. The Avalanche own the division lead outright for the first time since Dec. 18.
Peter Budaj had a relatively light night, stopping 23 shots. He started over Jose Theodore thanks to his stellar record against the Oilers. Budaj is 5-0 this season and 9-1-2 in 12 career appearances against Edmonton.
