Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Jarome Iginla led a Colorado scoring blitz with a pair of goals as the surging Avalanche delivered a 5-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators at Pepsi Center. Iginlas big night was aided by markers from Brad Stuart, Erik Johnson and Daniel Briere, as well as another tremendous performance from Semyon Varlamov, in Colorados fourth win in five games. Coming off a spectacular 54-save effort in Tuesdays shutout of Chicago, Varlamov was busy again in turning aside 36-of-38 Ottawa shots. Craig Anderson didnt come close to matching Varlamovs level of play, allowing three goals on just nine chances before being pulled for Robin Lehner just past the midway mark of the second period. Mark Stone and Bobby Ryan had the Ottawa goals in the Senators third straight loss. Colorado recorded only seven first-period shots, but connected on two of them to support another clean frame from the razor-sharp Varlamov. Iginla began the scoring by ripping a quick shot from the right circle past a screened Anderson 8:20 into the contest. Stuart made it a 2-0 lead with 2:40 left in the stanza on the veteran defensemans first goal of the season, a long one-timer that got by Anderson with traffic in front of the Ottawa net. Stones successful attempt off a beautiful no-look give from Erik Karlsson with just over three minutes elapsed in the second period gave the Senators some life, but the momentum was brief. Just 53 seconds after Stones goal, Johnson restored Colorados two-goal margin by landing a long drive with Iginla stationed right in Andersons line of sight. Varlamov made the 3-1 lead stand into the intermission with 13 more stops in the second. Iginlas second of the night, a power-play tally just 23 seconds into the third that came off a nice centering feed from Alex Tanguay, started a scoring flurry during the early stages of the final period. Ryan turned a bad giveaway from Johnson into his 12th goal of the season with 1:05 gone in the session. The Avalanche answered just 1:35 later, however, when Tyson Barries cross-ice pass to Briere resulted in a 5-2 Colorado advantage.

Sedin crumpled to the ice after getting hit in the numbers by Calgarys Paul Byron in the Vancouver zone with 2:44 left in the period. The Canucks trainer rushed to Sedins side and immediately signalled for a stretcher. Sedin, who appeared to be moving his fingers on a television replay, was fitted with a neck brace and placed on a backboard. The Canucks said Sedin was taken in stable condition to Vancouver General Hospital to undergo further evaluation. He exhibited signs of movement to his extremities and showed improvement from initially being hit. Byron was assessed a five-minute penalty for boarding and a game misconduct.dddddddddddd. Sedin, a former Art Ross Trophy winner as the leagues top scorer, has struggled this year. He has 16 goals, including two Sunday against the Flames, and 31 assists. At one point he went 23 games without a goal. The left winger suffered a serious concussion on March 21, 2012, when he was elbowed in the head by Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith. Sedin missed four weeks while Keith was suspended for five games. Earlier this year Sedin missed nine games after suffering a hamstring injury while playing at the Heritage Classic game against the Ottawa Senators.
