The Colorado Avalanche pulled off a comeback victory in
their first playoff game since 2010 and the Central
Division champions hope to take a 2-0 series lead when
they host the Minnesota Wild in Saturdays Game 2 from the
Pepsi Center.

Stastny was the hero for the Avalanche in Thursdays
opener, scoring with 13.4 seconds left in the third
period to knot the score at 4-4 and then tallying the
game-winner at 7:27 of overtime. The 5-4 decision was the
first victory in the postseason for Colorado since taking
Game 3 of a first-round series against San Jose on April
18, 2010. The Avs lost that set in six games and havent
won a postseason series since beating Minnesota in the
opening round of the 2008 playoffs. Meanwhile, Minnesota,
which lost to Chicago in the opening round last spring,
hasnt won a playoff series since beating Vancouver in the
2003 Western Conference semifinals. Colorado claimed its
first division title since 2003 this season and is the
second seed in the West. After Thursdays win, the
Avalanche are now 5-0-1 against the Wild since the start
of the 2013-14 campaign. The comeback triumph in Game 1
also marked Patrick Roys first playoff win as an NHL head
coach. Of course, the legendary goaltender won four
Stanley Cup titles in his playing days, including two
with Colorado in 1996 and 2001. With his team trailing 4-
3 late in regulation, Roy made a bold decision to pull
goaltender Semyon Varlamov in favor of the extra attacker
with 3:01 remaining in the third. The early pull paid off
with Stastnys tying goal, but not before Avs defenseman
Erik Johnson made a terrific hustle play to prevent an
empty-net score that could have clinched the win for
Minnesota. The Wild had a chance to extend their lead to
two goals with Varlamov on the bench. Minnesota forward
Erik Haula cleared the puck the length of the ice and the
disc was headed for the net before Johnson hustled down
and swept it away mere inches from the goal line. His
play paid off a bit later as the Avalanche peppered Wild
goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov with shots late in regulation
and finally got one through. Holding the puck behind the
net, Avs rookie Nathan MacKinnon sent a pass to the left
point where Johnson blasted a shot with Stastny putting
home the rebound under the crossbar from the right side
to send the game to overtime. "Its just like every goal,
theres four or five guys that make it happen," said
Stastny. "There was so much spin on that shot I didnt
even see it go in." On Stastnys OT winner, Colorados
Tyson Barrie kept the puck in at the left point and was
able to elude Minnesota forward Jason Pominville before
pushing the puck to the low left side. From there,
MacKinnon picked up the puck and skated around the right
side where his pass was one-timed in by Stastny for the
win. "We are confident in ourselves and we always play to
win," said Stastny. "Its just a bit different pace out
there, theres a lot more grinding and a lot more tedious.
We have to get our rest and get ready for Saturday."
Jamie McGinn and Ryan OReilly each posted a goal and an
assist for the Avalanche, who are in the playoffs after a
three-season absence. Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog
also had a goal in his postseason debut. Varlamov made 29
saves for Colorado to improve his career postseason
record to 11-9. The Avs played Game 1 without star
forward Matt Duchene (knee) and defenseman John Mitchell
(concussion). Both players will miss Game 2 as well.
Charlie Coyle, Ryan Suter, Kyle Brodziak and Haula scored
for the Wild, who are back in the playoffs for a second
straight season after missing out four straight years.
Zach Parise had two assists and Bryzgalov stopped 26
shots for Minnesota, which claimed the top wild card spot
in the Western Conference. "I think despite the outcome
of the game we did a lot of good things out there
tonight," said Parise. "We made some mistakes in the
third that resulted in the puck being in our net, and it
cost us." The Wild hope to pick up a win Saturday so it
can head back to St. Paul with the series tied 1-1.
Minnesota is hosting Games 3 and 4, with the next meeting
scheduled for Monday at Xcel Energy Center. This is the
third all-time playoff meeting between the clubs. The
Wild won a 2003 conference quarterfinals matchup in seven
games, while the Avalanche knocked off Minnesota in six
games during the same round in 2008.

Liverpools tally in the Premier League this season to 70,
overtaking Manchester City as the top scorers, and left
the fourth-place team just four points behind league
leader Chelsea.NEWARK, N.J. - Before heading to a
shootout, New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer took some
advice from veteran forward Patrik Elias and inserted
little used reserve Jacob Josefson into the lineup.It
paid off and ended a whole lot of frustration.Josefson
scored the lone goal in the shootout and Cory Schneider
made it stand up as the Devils earned a come-from-behind
2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.The
Devils had dropped an NHL-record 18 straight shootouts,
including all 13 last season and one more this season.Hes
been really good in the shootout in practice, DeBoer said
of Josefson. Patrik keeps bringing up his name and said
that he has a knack of scoring in practice. He threw Jos
name up there, saying Jos been good.So DeBoer went with
it and was rewarded.Michael Ryder forced overtime for New
Jersey, scoring the tying goal with 3:27 left in
regulation.The Devils hadnt won in a shootout since March
2013, also against Winnipeg.It was our first shootout win
in what seems like 10 years, DeBoer said. It was big for
us. To say that it lifted a huge weight off my shoulders
would be an understatement.We felt that if we could tie
it, we had a chance. Im always confident in our players.
I knew we were going to win shootouts this year. Im
always trying to instil confidence in this
group.Josefson, the Devils second shootout shooter,
lifted a shot over sprawling goalie Ondrej Pavelec.He was
under a lot of pressure, and he made a great shot, DeBoer
said of Josefson.New Jersey earned its first home victory
in four games this season and snapped the Jets two-game
winning streak.Blake Wheeler, who led the Jets with 28
goals last season, netted his fourth of the season in the
first period. Wheeler took a great pass from Toby Enstrom
as Pavelec headed to the bench during a delayed
penalty.We honestly deserved better, Wheeler said. We
couldnt capitalize on our opportunities and lett them
hang around.
Hezonja-Magic-Jersey/">Mario Hezonja Jersey. They
found a way to tie it up and then won. Its too bad.The
Devils tied it when Ryder stole the puck and fired a shot
past Pavelec during another delayed penalty. It was
Ryders second goal of the season.I managed to get the
turnover there, and got it to my stick, Ryder said. I was
going to try to go around him (Pavelec), but I was able
to get it up high.That set up the shootout dramatics.It
was a big play, DeBoer said. We really needed that. It
was a big play at the right time. We need our forwards to
step up and finish some chances.Pavelec was outstanding
in making 27 saves.We should have been able to close this
out, Pavelec said. We should find a way to win this.Jets
coach Paul Maurice wasnt too upset with the result.It was
a pretty good, grind it out type game, Maurice said. It
was a pretty solid road game. We didnt give up much.
Mistakes happen, and we have to learn from them.Schneider
stopped 24 shots through overtime and then three more in
the shootout.He was outstanding, DeBoer said. If he
doesnt play as well as he did, we wouldnt have anything.
After they got the first goal, he was the difference. He
gave us a chance to come back and turn it around.In the
third period, Winnipegs Mark Scheifele had a breakaway
that was stopped by Schneider. Soon after, Wheeler skated
in on Schneider and had him beat, but his backhand
attempt went wide.NOTES: Jets LW Evander Kane returned
after missing eight games with a knee injury. No
question, we missed him, Maurice said. He was itching to
get back last week, but were glad to have him back today.
... The Devils were without leading scorer Mike
Cammalleri, who sustained a jaw injury earlier this week.
... The Devils placed Martin Havlat (lower body) and
Jordin Tootoo (foot) on the injured list. ... Jets LW
Andrew Ladd recorded six points (four goals, two assists)
in the previous four games.
