NHL: Colorado 3, Calgary 2

Published: Oct. 29, 2009 at 12:18 AM

CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Wojtek Wolski completed a Colorado comeback Wednesday and the Avalanche continued a hot start to the season with a 3-2 win over Calgary.

Colorado won its fourth in a row and has captured 10-of-14 games this season. The Avalanche has a league-high 22 points -- seven more than any other team in the Northwest Division.

Goaltender Craig Anderson has been a major reason for the Colorado success this year, but he gave up goals to Jarome Iginla and Olli Jokinen in the first 70 seconds of the contest.

Calgary could not score again and Colorado had the game tied before the first period was over, thanks to goals by David Koci and David Jones.

It remained 2-2 until Wolski scored for the eighth time this season on a wrist shot. He bested Miikka Kiprusoff, who faced only 14 shots.

Anderson wound up making 30 saves. Calgary had a three-game winning streak snapped.
