KEY GAME INFORMATION
COLORADO: LAST SEASON: 52-22-8, 112 points. Won the Central Division. Lost to Minnesota 4-3 in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Patrick Roy, 2nd season with Colorado, 52-22-8; 2nd overall in NHL.
ADDED: RW Jarome Iginla, D Brad Stuart, C Daniel Briere, C Jesse Winchester.
LOST: RW P.A. Parenteau, F Paul Stastny, G Jean-Sebastien Giguere, D Andre Benoit, D Cory Sarich.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Nathan MacKinnon. As hard as this may be to believe, the speedy 19-year-old may have even gotten faster in the offseason working out with the likes of Matt Duchene and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby. MacKinnon was the league's rookie of the year in 2013-14 after scoring 24 goals and dishing out 39 assists. Roy isn't concerned with a sophomore jinx with MacKinnon, saying, ''I think Nate's going to do a very good job this year despite the way people think about a second-year player.''
OUTLOOK: The Avalanche surprised the hockey world by winning the Central Division in Roy's first season. Now, Roy's eager to see his squad take the next step, which is to go even deeper into the postseason. The team added more veteran leadership by signing Iginla, along with trading for Briere and Stuart. They also have Alex Tanguay back after he missed most of the season with knee and hip injuries. Colorado boasts two formidable lines that will include some combination of Matt Duchene, Ryan O'Reilly, captain Gabe Landeskog, Iginla, Tanguay and MacKinnon. Roy is still tinkering to find the best pairings.
SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 51-22-9, 111 points. Lost to Los Angeles in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan, 7th season with Sharks, 271-130-57; seventh overall in NHL.
ADDED: F John Scott, F Tye McGinn, D Taylor Fedun.
LOST: D Dan Boyle, D Brad Stuart, F Marty Havlat.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Joe Thornton. Despite finishing second in the league in assists last season, Thornton was stripped of his captaincy this summer in response to the Sharks' playoff collapse against Los Angeles. San Jose became the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. That prompted a search for new leaders. Thornton expressed no desire to leave San Jose but how he reacts to the new role and how he plays this season will be key questions going forward.
OUTLOOK: The Sharks began the offseason with general manager Doug Wilson talking of rebuilding and becoming a ''tomorrow'' team after being a Stanley Cup contender for most of the past decade. Wilson has altered his stance a bit and the players still believe this team can compete with the other powers out West. Much of the success will hinge on continued improvement from younger core players like Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl; Brent Burns' move back to defense from forward; and more depth on the bottom two lines to take pressure off Thornton and Patrick Marleau.

*Avalanche-Sharks Preview* ==========================

By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer

Colorado (35-29-12) at San Jose (37-30-9), 10:30 p.m. EDT

At least publicly, San Jose and Colorado remain hopeful while the prospects of both reaching the postseason continue to fade.

As each club looks to bounce back from a costly defeat, the Sharks try for a 13th straight regular-season home victory over the Avalanche on Wednesday night.

San Jose (37-30-9) earned five points in the final three games of a 3-3-1 trip but sits 11th in the Western Conference and eight points back of Calgary for third place in the Pacific Division with six games remaining. The Sharks' run of 10 consecutive seasons with a playoff appearance is second to Detroit's 23.

"(The players) are going to keep playing. They're proud players," coach Todd McLellan told the NHL's official website. "We go until somebody tells us we can't go anymore and that's the attitude they've taken. Will it continue? I expect it to. We're not out of it yet. We're still not out of it.

"There's people probably watching and reading, going 'This guy's nuts.' But who knows? We'll see."

Also with six games left, Colorado (35-29-12) is one point behind San Jose.

"We are going to believe in ourselves until it's over," Avs coach Patrick Roy said. "I'm going to push and that's all I'm thinking. It's the way I am. I like to think the players will do the same."

Colorado didn't help its cause by losing for the second time in one week to lowly Edmonton, 4-1 at home on Monday for its fourth defeat in six contests.

"From the get-go, it didn't feel like we were ready to compete, and to compete hard enough to win a hockey game," captain Gabriel Landeskog said.

"It doesn't matter where a team is in the standings or who you're playing, if they're out-competing you and working harder than you, they're ultimately going to beat you. ... It's unacceptable."

Things likely won't get any easier for the Avs, who have won once in their last 15 overall games at San Jose. They are 0-8-4 there during the regular season since a 3-1 victory Feb. 6, 2008.

The Sharks, however, are 3-8-2 at home since the start of February and have averaged 2.0 goals over the last nine there. They've also been held to two or fewer non-shootout goals in nine of the last 11 overall and went 2 for 10 on the power play in the last two.

"We've got to find a way to score," said Sharks forward Logan Couture, who scored for the second time in three games during Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss at Pittsburgh. "We have to."

Couture had the tying goal in the third period of a 3-2 shootout win at Colorado on Oct. 28.

Teammate Antti Niemi, who made 31 saves in that contest, has a 1.93 goals-against average during his six-game home winning streak against the Avs. However, it's uncertain if he'll be ready after sitting out Sunday's game due to an illness.

Niemi has allowed four goals in each of his last two starts and gave up five in a 6-2 defeat to Chicago in San Jose's most recent home game March 14.

Colorado's Semyon Varlamov, who stopped 49 shots against the Sharks in October, is 0-3-2 with a 3.96 GAA at San Jose.

Teammate Ryan O'Reilly has five goals with eight assists during a career-high eight-game point streak. He has two and six assists in his last nine versus San Jose.

Out since Jan. 21 with a knee injury, Colorado defenseman Erik Johnson is expected to practice Tuesday and could play before the season ends.
