CHICAGO -- Colorado is in the mix for one of the top playoff seeds in the Western Conference, and first-year coach Patrick Roy thinks the Avalanche are one of the NHLs biggest surprises. Tyson Barrie scored a tiebreaking power-play goal with 7:10 left in the third period, and the Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 on Tuesday night for their third straight win. Colorado reached the 40-victory mark faster than any team in franchise history. It also improved to 3-1 against the Blackhawks this season and moved within one point of the Stanley Cup champions for second in the Central Division. "Our objective at the start of the season was to surprise the world of hockey," Roy said. "Today, I guess were making it even more interesting. Were one point behind these guys with one game in hand." Barrie got open in the left circle and one-timed Erik Johnsons perfect cross-ice feed high past Corey Crawford on the glove side. It was Barries second game-winner against Chicago this season, following an overtime goal against the Blackhawks on Jan. 14. "He put it right in my wheelhouse and I was able to get everything on it," Barrie said. "You always want to put it upstairs. I was lucky to beat Crawford there." Paul Stastny completed the scoring with an empty-netter with 32.6 seconds left. Rookie Nathan MacKinnon got an assist on Stastnys 20th goal, extending his point streak to 12 games, tying Wayne Gretzkys record for an 18-year-old set in 1979-80. Barrie scored for the second straight game as Colorados defencemen continued to contribute offensively. The Avalanche got four goals from defencemen in a 6-3 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Ryan OReilly and Maxime Talbot also scored for the Avalanche, who are 17-6-1 since New Years Eve. OReilly has three goals and three assists in his last four games. "I think we know what weve got in here," Barrie said. "Weve got a great group of guys. Its a lot of fun to play." Ben Smith and Jonathan Toews scored for Chicago, which was without veteran forward Marian Hossa. Toews has three goals in his last two games. Hossa left Saturday nights 5-1 victory over Pittsburgh at Soldier Field with an upper-body injury and is expected to miss two to three weeks. Brandon Saad moved up again to take Hossas spot on the right side of Chicagos top line with Toews and Patrick Sharp. The Blackhawks outshot Colorado 38-21, and Chicago coach Joel Quenneville thought that statistic reflected the play on the ice for most of the game. "I think we outchanced and outplayed them," Quenneville said. "I didnt like any of the goals that went in tonight. It was one of those games." Chicago also lost ground to St. Louis, which beat Tampa Bay 4-2 and is all alone in the Central lead, three points behind Anaheim for the top spot in the conference. "We lost a lot of ground," Quenneville said. "A four-point swing." Chicago and the much-improved Avalanche could meet in the opening round of the playoffs under the NHLs new alignment. "I would say 80 per cent, if not 90 per cent, said at the beginning of the year the Avalanche will miss the playoffs," Roy said. "Its not done yet, but were certainly in good shape right now." Colorados Semyon Varlamov made 36 saves. Crawford had 17 stops in the Blackhawks first game at the United Center since a 3-1 loss to Winnipeg on Jan. 26. The Blackhawks outshot Colorado 11-3 in a scoreless first period, but didnt generate many prime chances. Talbot put the Avalanche in front 2:49 into the second when he got his stick on Johnsons low shot from the right point. Positioned in the right circle, Talbot barely ticked Johnsons wrister, but it was enough to direct the puck between Crawfords pads. The Blackhawks turned up the pressure after falling behind, outskating the Avalanche and forcing turnovers. Varlamov helped keep Chicago off the board with several sharp saves, including point-blank stops on Toews and Peter Regin. Smith and Chicagos solid fourth line tied it at 1 with 3:08 left in the second. Capping some work along the boards with Brandon Bollig, Smith cut into the left circle and fired a shot past Varlamov with Avalanche defenceman Jan Hejda screening. OReilly snapped off a low shot from the right circle that slipped between Crawfords pads at 1:23 of the third to put Colorado ahead 2-1. Toews replied with a power-play goal at 7:17. After slipping to the right side of the net, Toews took Sharps feed and fired it past Varlamov to complete a slick passing series. NOTES: The Blackhawks acquired D David Rundblad and D Mathieu Brisebois in a trade with Phoenix before the game. Rundblad will join the Blackhawks and give them eight defencemen on the roster. Brisebois will report to Rockford of the AHL. Chicago parted with a second-round selection in this years draft to complete the trade. ... Crawford wore his black leg pads against Colorado. His favourite set, custom white models, disappeared from Soldier Field after Saturdays game. Albert Pujols Jersey . 5 Trade Deadline is drawing closer and teams will be deciding on whether to buy or sell while figuring out which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Mike Trout Jersey . The game got off to a less-than-ideal start for the Jets as Oliver Ekman-Larsson found a wide open net from the slot and opened the scoring for the Coyotes a lead in the first period, but Olli Jokinen answered back just over half a minute later. http://www.baseballangelslockroom.com/ro...-angels-jersey/. The kind he has every so often. The kind he has when Dwyane Wade sits. James scored 43 points -- 25 in a bewildering first-quarter shooting display -- and Chris Bosh added 21, leading the Miami Heat to a 100-96 win Tuesday night over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played their first game without injured All-Star guard Kyrie Irving. Shohei Ohtani Jersey . The 25-year-old native of Milford, Conn., has 18 points in 41 games this season. The five-foot-eight 166-pound centre also has 28 points (10-18) in 15 games with AHL Oklahoma City. Kole Calhoun Jersey . - The Raiders have released guard Mike Brisiel after two disappointing seasons in Oakland.WINNIPEG - Maybe head coach Paul Maurice should consider having the Winnipeg Jets stay in a hotel the night before a home game.The Jets have twice as many wins on the road (8-4-3) than they do at home (4-5-1). Maurice has some theories as to why, but they dont involve comfy hotel beds or less distractions away from the MTS Centre.For Maurice, its more about the teams growth and the quality of the opposition.The block of time when we started to play well was probably about the seven- or eight-game mark and yet we had (already) played in four or five home games, Maurice said after Mondays practice.We werent playing the way were playing now when we got out on the road.He also noted that several home games were against playoff-calibre teams.Possibly the best game we played was against Detroit (Nov. 20 at home) and we lost (4-3), he said.We like playing here. Wed rather play 82 at home.But its also good to have those road wins in the bank, he added. Winnipeg (12-9-4) was sitting in fourth place in the Central Division Monday morning.The Jets have plenty of chances to change their home-road imbalance in December, when nine of their 13 games will be played at MTS Centre.They begin a three-game homestand Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers, who were on a nine-game losing skid heading into a home game Monday night versus Arizona.Maurice must have run his road theories by his players because captain Andrew Ladd repeated the possible reasons for the disparity, including highlighting the good game they played against Detroit.Im not worried about it, Ladd said. I think its something (that) now were at a point where were really comfortable with our game, period, whether were playiing at home or on the road.ddddddddddddLadd practised on a line with Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele replacing injured centre Bryan Little, but Maurice had a good-news update.Little and injured defenceman Toby Enstrom will try to practise Tuesday, and if they feel good they should get the green light to return to the lineup.Little took a puck to the knee in last Fridays 2-1 overtime loss to Boston. Enstrom missed Winnipegs successful three-game road trip (2-0-1) with a lower-body injury and defenceman Grant Clitsome filled his spot in a pairing with Zach Bogosian.Ladd, Wheeler and Little have eight goals apiece, with Ladd and Wheeler adding eight assists each and Little seven.He plays every situation for us, Wheeler said of Little. You really cant even explain how much he means to our group. Itll take a lot of guys stepping up if he misses time. We hope he doesnt.The Jets begin a stretch Wednesday that has them playing every second day through Dec. 13.Maurices plan for his goaltenders might include using both starter Ondrej Pavelec (8-8-2) and Michael Hutchinson (4-1-2).Just make sure neither one of them is out of the net more than seven games, for the most part, Maurice said when asked about his goalie philosophy.Hutchinsons goals against average of 1.56 and save percentage of .947 both top the NHL. Hes started six games and played in eight.Maurice said Hutchinson has created his own success. The rookie has a competitive work ethic in practice, is square on the puck during games and doesnt let a lot of rebounds get away from him.He has the ability to fight and find pucks in traffic, and then hes just played that way all the way through, Maurice said.
