Tuesday Night NHL: San Jose vs. Colorado
Tuesday Night NHL: San Jose vs. ColoradoTwo very good teams are going through some very bad times as both the Sharks and the Avalanche enter this game on a losing streak.

Either the San Jose Sharks or the Colorado Avalanche will match their longest losing streak of the season Tuesday night.

Judging by the teams' most recent matchups, it would appear the Sharks have a better chance to avoid that fate as they visit the Pepsi Center to start a home-and-home series. The Avalanche, though, have been difficult to beat at home lately.

San Jose (15-10-2) has stumbled since a 12-2-1 stretch from Oct. 21-Nov. 23. Its 3-2 overtime defeat in Chicago on Sunday was its second straight loss and sixth in eight games overall.

Defenseman Justin Braun's first goal of the season gave the Sharks a 2-1 lead entering the third period, but they allowed the Blackhawks to tie it with 1:06 remaining in regulation. San Jose outshot Chicago 33-13 over the first two periods but were outshot a combined 21-4 in the third period and overtime.

The Sharks haven't dropped three in a row since Oct. 14-17. They're also 0-2-1 in their last three road games, their longest such skid since losing six in a row Oct. 24-Nov. 26, 2010.

Colorado also has endured struggles of late, getting outscored 13-3 over a busy stretch in its schedule.

Playing their third road game in four nights, the Avalanche fell 4-1 to Edmonton on Friday with the Oilers scoring two goals in the final minute in each of the first two periods.

Bouncing back might prove difficult for the Avalanche (13-16-1), who have dropped three in a row to the Sharks while scoring a combined two goals over those games. Including a postseason matchup in 2010, San Jose is 7-0-1 in its last eight games against Colorado and 4-0-1 in its last five visits to the Pepsi Center.

A 4-1 win there Nov. 20 gave the Sharks their 10th victory in 13 regular-season meetings. Patrick Marleau recorded his first hat trick in two seasons during that win, but has one goal in his last nine games.

The Sharks hope to find that same magic against the Avalanche, but with the way both teams are playing right now, there is no telling how this game will end up.
