Predators Win on Road
Vladimir Orszagh scored at 15:55 of the third period, Tomas Vokoun had 33 saves and the Nashville Predators defeated Colorado, 4-3, Sunday night, prolonging the Avalanche’s home-ice futility.
Nashville won for the first time in 13 road games dating to last season. Colorado fell to 0-4-3-1 at home -- the worst home start in the franchise’s 24-year history.
Joe Sakic’s 10th goal of the season on a power play pulled the Avalanche into a 3-3 tie at 8:15 of the third period.
During an ensuing scramble in front of the Colorado net, Orszagh poked the puck past Patrick Roy. Roy, who sat out the last three games because of a sore left hip, had 24 saves.
New York Islanders 3, Dallas 2 -- John Blake scored the tiebreaking goal at 7:43 of the third period at Uniondale, N.Y. The Stars, who lost for the first time in four games, were 5-0-0-1 at Uniondale since a 5-3 loss Feb. 4, 1996.
