Good teams don¡¯t let that happen, so we¡¯ve got to respond well tomorrow.¡±Coach Todd McLellan said he believes that scoring chances were there but that the club just could not capitalize.¡°When you look at just the goal total itself, you¡¯re going ¡®Jeez, they¡¯re not creating anything¡¯,¡± McLellan said Saturday. ¡°In each of the games that we lost on the road trip, I thought we created numerous opportunities.¡±Edmonton (8-7-1) took five of a possible six points from Colorado last season, and is looking for two wins in a row at home over the Avalanche for the first time since 2013.Colorado (7-6-3) is trying to avoid its sixth straight loss after falling 5-2 to the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night. After a 6-1-2 start, the Avalanche are 1-5-1, allowing 29 goals in that span.¡°I think leaders on this team got to get on this now Erik Condra Jersey Womens ,¡± Colorado defenseman Erik Johnson said. ¡°We¡¯ve got to stop the bleeding and string some wins together here.¡±A reason for the Avalanche¡¯s struggles is decreased production from the top line of Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon.The trio caught the attention of fans when they combined for 20 goals and 23 assists over the first nine games of the season. They¡¯ve totaled seven goals and 14 assists in seven games since.¡°The best thing to do is just play in the offensive zone. Don¡¯t give them a chance to start creating and feeling good about their games,¡± Nugent-Hopkins said.The player among the three to have the biggest downturn is MacKinnon. The top overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft tallied 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) during Colorado¡¯s hot start, but has seven points (three goals, four assists) in the club¡¯s slump.¡°It¡¯s no fun right now, but we have to get right back on it, play on Sunday and try to dig ourselves out,¡± Johnson said.Another key for the Avalanche is to get off to a quick start on the scoreboard.

BOSTON (AP) This is where the Toronto Maple Leafs try to change the ending.After beating the Bruins in back-to-back elimination games to force their first-round playoff series to the limit ¨C just like they did in 2013 ¨C the Maple Leafs are hoping to finish the job on Wednesday in Game 7 in Boston.That¡¯s something they couldn¡¯t do five years ago, when they became the first team in NHL history to blow a three-goal Carl Soderberg Jersey , third-period deficit and lose a Stanley Cup playoff game.¡±We¡¯ve got some more work to do,¡± said goalie Frederik Andersen, who stopped 32 of 33 shots in Game 6 on Monday to help Toronto win 3-1 and prolong its season.¡±It¡¯s the same kind of pressure we¡¯ve felt these last two games, where we¡¯ve been facing elimination,¡± he said. ¡±Game 7 should be the same. It¡¯s something that you all dream of ¨C those big moments ¨C and you also want to perform.¡±So do the Bruins, who have struggled to put away Toronto for the second consecutive time.

It¡¯s good for our young guys to have them around.¡±The winner of Wednesday night¡¯s game will play Tampa Bay, which eliminated New Jersey in five games. The Lightning will host the first two games, regardless of which opponent advances.¡±I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any panic at all in this group,¡± Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.Toronto feels the same way.¡±We think we¡¯re going to win,¡± Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. ¡±We¡¯ve thought that all along, and we¡¯ve crawled our way back and now we have the opportunity of a lifetime. This is where you want to be.¡±PRESSUREBoth teams paid their respects to the victims of the rental van attack in Toronto that killed 10 people and injured 15 more. There was a moment of silence before Monday night¡¯s game, and Babcock opened his postgame remarks by sending support to those affected. Asked on Tuesday about the pressure his team faces heading into a winner-take-all game, Cassidy said he has tried to keep things in perspective.¡±Listen, yesterday in Toronto, the first-responders, they were under pressure. That¡¯s pressure to me http://www.officialavalanche.com/authentic-adidas-j.t.-comph er-jersey , that¡¯s real-life pressure,¡± he said. ¡±This is a game that players dream about being in this situation, Game 7, playing road hockey in a small town in Canada or a big city in the United States or somewhere in between. That¡¯s what it¡¯s all about. ¡­ Now you¡¯ve got to go out and embrace it.¡±GAME 7 HISTORYThe Bruins are 13-12 in Game 7s, with a 12-8 record at home. Toronto is 12-10 and 5-9 on the road.
