GLENDALE, Ariz.
Swingman Walt Frazier Jersey . -- The
Colorado Avalanche knew they would get a fight from the Phoenix Coyotes, one of
the NHLs best rallying teams. But when the Coyotes pushed, the Avalanche pushed
right back. Ryan OReilly scored a power-play goal with 41 seconds left in
overtime and Colorado bounced back after allowing two third-period goals to beat
Phoenix 4-3 on Thursday night. "Thats (fighting back) what good teams do and
what we have to learn," Colorado LW Gabriel Landeskog said. "Its just about
finding ways to win and thats what we did." Colorado had been the NHLs best team
at holding a lead and entered the third period up 2-1 on goals by Andre Benoit
and John Mitchell. Coming off a four-day break, Phoenix turned up the pressure
in the third period and went ahead 3-2 on goals by Martin Hanzal and
Antoine Vermette four minutes apart. The Avalanche fought back, though, tying it
with 3:14 left in regulation on a whirling backhander by Cody McLeod that found
its way through Mike Smiths pads. OReilly ended it in overtime, sending a wrist
shot past Smith for his ninth goal of the season and Colorados seventh win in
nine road games. "This is a very good team, probably one of the best in the NHL
and I thought our guys did a good job of coming here and winning that game,"
Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. Phoenix dictated play most of the way,
spending long stretches in Colorados zone and sending 44 shots at Avalanche
goalie Semyon Varlamov. The Coyotes fell behind 2-0 despite dominating early and
fought back late, but were hurt by two late penalties: One by Hanzal that
carried over into overtime and another by Keith Yandle that set up Colorados
winning power play. Michael Stone also scored and Shane Doan extended his points
streak to seven games with an assist on Vermettes goal for the Coyotes, who
remain unbeaten in regulation at home (9-0-2). "I thought we did a lot of good
things in that game, thought we controlled a lot of the play, had upward of 75
scoring chances," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "But in a tight game,
mistakes matter and when you put a team on the power play twice in overtime, it
usually comes back to bite you and it did." Two of the NHLs highest-scoring
teams needed a little while to get rolling, playing a scoreless first period.
Phoenix had some good chances in the opening 20 minutes, but couldnt get any of
its 15 shots past Varlamov. Colorado needed 32 seconds of the second period and
six seconds of a power play to break the scoreless tie. Mitchell got it, ending
up with the puck between the circles after a face-off and whipping it past Smith
for his fourth goal of the season. That didnt bode well for the Coyotes;
Colorado entered the game as the only NHL team that hadnt lost after the first
period at 13-0. Paul Stastny nearly added to it midway through the period, but
Smith made a spectacular save, sliding to his right then stacking his pads to
glove the one-timer. Benoit did get one past Smith later in the period on a shot
from the point that hit the crossbar and trickled in after hitting the goalies
back. Benoit was hit in the face early in the period, but returned with a
bandage on his chin to score for the first time since last April. Stone finally
got the Coyotes on the board with a long-distance goal, beating Varlamov with a
hard shot from just inside the red line that caromed in off the left post for
his seventh of the season. The Coyotes thought they had it tied 5 minutes into
the third period when Oliver Ekman-Larsson beat Varlamov from the left circle,
but it was waved off because David Moss knocked the Avalanche goalie over after
a shove by Colorados Jan Hejda. Phoenix kept up the pressure and Hanzal tied
midway through the period, lifting a loose rebound over a prone Varlamov.
Vermette scored on a power play, but the lead lasted less than three minutes
before McLeod tied it to send the game to overtime. OReilly ended it as the
clock wound down in overtime, scoring on Colorados second power-play chance in
the extra period. "We got ourselves back in the game, but its unfortunate we
took the two penalties to give them a chance to win it," Tippett said. The
Avalanche made the most of it, winning for the 16th time in 21 games this
season. NOTES: Ekman-Larsson played his 200th career game. ... The Avalanche
have allowed an NHL-low nine first-period goals this season. ... The Coyotes
placed D Zbynek Michalek on injured reserve on Thursday with a lower-body
injury. ... Colorado leading scorer Matt Duchene missed his second straight game
with an oblique injury.
Derrick Rose Jersey . Ricciardos exclusion
from the results tarnished what had been a day of celebration for local fans,
who were jubilant that the Red Bull driver had apparently become the first
Australian to finish on the podium at his home race. However just before
midnight, stewards ruled that Ricciardos car had "exceeded consistently the
maximum allowed fuel flow" and that the team refused an instruction from the
races technical delegate Charlie Whiting to change the fuel-flow sensor before
the race and a further request during the race to reduce the fuel flow.

first big story that you broke?Every breaking story has meaning which is why
trade deadline day and free agent frenzy have maintained both news and
entertainment value.Uniondale, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Islanders
activated forward Cal Clutterbuck from injured reserve on Wednesday. Clutterbuck
suffered a skate laceration to his right thigh during a Sept. 17 preseason game
against the Calgary Flames. The 25-year-old Ontario native was signed to a
four-year deal worth a reported $11 million in early July after being acquired
from Minnesota in a draft-day trade that sent prospect Nino Niederreiter to the
Wild. CClutterbuck had just four goals and six assists in 42 games with
Minnesota last season, two years removed from setting career-high marks in
2010-11 with 19 goals and 15 assists.
Charles Oakley Jersey. To make room for
Clutterbuck, the Islanders returned defenseman Griffin Reinhart to the Edmonton
Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League. Reinhart, 19, appeared in four
exhibition games with the Islanders this preseason and notched one goal and one
assist.
