Can the Avalanche match their season high for consecutive wins -- two -- Thursday at the Pepsi Center? They'll try against a New Jersey Devils team that has lost eight games in a row (0-6-2).

The Devils have been shut out in back-to-back games and in three of their past four.

Here are the GAME NOTES.

The Avalanche will use the same lineup they did Tuesday in their 3-1 win against Carolina.

The Avalanche haven't won two consecutive games since defeating Winnipeg on Feb. 4 and Montreal on Feb.7.

"We want to get some consistency going," goalie Calvin Pickard said. "We know where we're at right now, and it's not where we want to be, but there's nothing we can do about it now. We just have to look forward and play our game and get some confidence going into next year."

The Avalanche lineup:

FORWARDS
Gabriel Landeskog -- Nathan MacKinnon -- Rene Bourque
Sven Andrighetto -- Matt Duchene -- Mikko Rantanen
John Mitchell -- J.T. Compher -- Blake Comeau
Mikhail Grigorenko -- Carl Soderberg -- Matt Nieto

DEFENSE
Mark Barberio -- Erik Johnson
Fedor Tyutin -- Tyson Barrie
Francois Beauchemin -- Patrick Wiercioch

GOALIES
Calvin Pickard
Jeremy Smith
