last season with 21 homers and 67 RBIs for Cleveland and the New York Yankees.
Ryan Miller 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.DENVER --
The reeling Anaheim Ducks needed something to stop their slide. A record-setting
second period did the trick. Kyle Palmieri scored two goals in 47 seconds, and
the Ducks netted six in the second to beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-4 on Friday
night. Corey Perry, Daniel Winnik and Ben Lovejoy also scored for the Ducks, who
stopped a four-game skid with their biggest offensive output since they scored
nine goals against Vancouver on Jan. 1. The teams combined for nine goals in the
second. "I wasnt anticipating that," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "When
youre struggling and you get a win its just like a monkey off your back and you
start relaxing and start playing better." Jonas Hiller made 34 saves two nights
after giving up three goals on five shots before being pulled. Jamie McGinn
scored two goals, and John Mitchell and Gabe Landeskog added goals for Colorado,
which finished 2-2 on its homestand. The Ducks stayed tied with San Jose in the
Pacific Division. The Sharks beat the New York Islanders on Friday. Both teams
have 95 points, but the Ducks have played one fewer game. Anaheim came to Denver
on the heels of a 7-2 defeat at Calgary, its worst since losing by five goals to
Colorado on opening night. The Ducks stopped the slide with a franchise record
for goals in a period. "I think it was just desperation," Winnik said. "We
havent been playing very good hockey and weve been down after every first
period. I think we are finally just sick and tired of chasing the third period.
Five goals were scored in a span of 8:45 against goalie Semyon Varlamov, who
left after Lovejoys shot bounced off the backboards and went in off his right
leg to make it 5-2 at 11:31. "We couldnt stop the bleeding," Avalanche coach
Patrick Roy said. "Look at the fifth goal. It hit the backboards and goes in."
Palmieri had given Anaheim a 3-2 lead with his 10th and 11th goals less than a
minute apart. Perry scored his 36th just 1:06 later, and Lovejoy followed with
his fourth. "It was one of those things we felt the ball start to roll and just
kept on going with itt," Palmieri said.
Zemgus Girgensons Jersey. The Avalanche played four of the top five teams in the Western Conference on this homestand
and moved into second place, one point ahead of Chicago, which lost at home to
Nashville on Friday night. They missed a chance to move further ahead of Chicago
after their worst period of the season. "We just werent good enough
defensively," centre Matt Duchene said. "It is disappointing. This was a big
game for us." Mitchell, who signed a three-year extension a few hours before the
game, gave Colorado a 1-0 lead at 12:25 of the first period. Winnik tied it
early in the second. McGinn gave the Avalanche a 2-1 lead before the Ducks broke
out their offence. McGinn and Landeskog scored 38 seconds apart late in the
second to cut the deficit to 5-4, but Anaheims Mathieu Perreault made it 6-4
with a redirection past goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere 30 seconds later. Tempers
were raised throughout the third period. Colorado defenceman Erik Johnson was
given a match penalty for a cross-check on Perreault at 2:07, and things flared
up after Nathan MacKinnon had a goal disallowed because of a high stick. Players
from both teams pushed and shoved in front of the benches, and after things
settled down Avalanche enforcer Patrick Bordeleau reached across the partition
between the benches to push Anaheims Patrick Maroon. Both players were ejected.
It was reminiscent of opening night when Roy took exception to a hit on
MacKinnon late in the Avalanches 6-1 win. He slammed the glass between the
benches while shouting at Boudreau. Roy was fined $10,000 by the NHL for his
actions. "I learned my lesson," Roy said. "I was quiet." NOTES: The Avalanche
signed Mitchell to a three-year extension and G Reto Berra to a three-year
contract. Both deals run through the 2016-17 season. ... Lovejoy returned to the
lineup after missing Wednesdays game with the flu. ... Colorado C Paul Stastny
missed his third straight game because of a back injury. He is day-to-day. ...
Anaheim D Cam Fowler sustained a lower-body injury in the second period and
didnt return.
