Hot or not. Cutemeter. Rate my body.

These are just some of the places on the internet that a google search will let you battle it out to see who is hotter. As far as the CPHL goes there was only one place to find out. The leagues two hottest teams collided Wednesday night and it was the Avs that prevailed to win their 5th straight and make it 8 games without losing, stretching all the way back to their horrific 6-2 schooling by the gutter-dwelling Hawks of Chicago.

The win leaves Colorado sitting proudly on top of the Howe conference and in the unlikely position of 4th overall in the CPHL. It should be said that Sharks are just a point behind with an extra game to play. Balanced scoring and solid goaltending have got the Avs where they are tonight was no different. The Avs also retunred to their ways of the start of their streak with a huge first period, scoring all their goals in that first stanza and only allowing one in the middle of their 4 goal explosion.

Surprisingly for a team with so few real stars and flying so high Joe Thornton has had a quiet year so far to say the least. He was first to score tonight however as just two and a half minutes in he tallied his 3rd of the year when his linemates Mogilny and Nylander combined to set him up. Another 4 minutes later it was 2-0 Avs. Ex-Hawk Quint, scoring his 3rd of the season also, doubled the lead on the Power Play with Nylander again assisting and Thornton chipping in again too.

Federov scored an unassisted PP goal for the Preds less than a minute, his goal ending a long unbeaten streak for the leagues best penalty killers. The Avs then restored their 2 goal advantage with the games 3rd straight PP goal. Joe Thornton again did the damage when Brendl and Trnka combined to set him up. By the end of the 4th the Avs had all the offence they would need Beaudoin bagging his 4th of the campaign from Mogilny and Sedin. Federov scored again in the 2nd but the comeback never materialised as Turek finished with 20 saves, just 1 less Sanford who faced 3 extra shots.

Notes

Avs Power play was 2 for 8, Preds 1 for 7.
Colorado slipped back to 2nd in Penalty Killing but remains 4th with the extra man.
Hershey Bears got whipped again after winning last outing.
Tough game tomorrow when Avs play 3rd in conference Jackets.
