NASHVILLE http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/greg-joseph-jersey , Tenn. (AP) — Colorado was due for a regular-season win against the Nashville Predators.Nathan MacKinnon scored twice, Semyon Varlamov made 36 saves and the streaking Avalanche beat Nashville 3-2 on Tuesday night.Tyson Jost had the other goal for the Avalanche, who have won five straight. Colorado also ended an 11-game losing streak to Nashville in the regular season. The teams met in the first round of the playoffs last season, with Nashville winning the series in six games.Ryan Hartman and Kevin Fiala scored for the Predators.With the game tied early in the third period and Colorado on a power play, J.T. Compher slid a pass to Jost in the left circle. He sent a wrist shot through traffic that slipped by Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne.“It was exciting to get that go-ahead goal there,” Jost said. “This was a really fun game. They’re a good team. We knew that it was going to be a big game for us.”Varlamov was particularly strong in the third period, when he turned aside all 20 Nashville shots he faced. His teammates helped him out late, blocking four shots over the last 2:29 with Rinne lifted for an extra attacker.“Young teams, you’ve got to keep your poise and your mind about you when things get a little crazy at the end of the game,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “They’re pouring it on, they’re pinching down on everything and we did a nice job of winning all battles and chipping pucks out.”Hartman scored the game’s first goal at 11:07 of the opening period. He sent a wrist shot from the left point toward the Colorado net that went off the skate of Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard’s right skate and by a surprised Varlamov.MacKinnon tied it 2:03 later with a power-play goal.Mikko Rantanen sent a cross-ice pass to MacKinnon in the left circle, where he beat Rinne with a wrist shot underneath the left leg pad.Rinne finished with 22 saves.“Tight game Authentic Greg Joseph Jersey ,” he said. “(I) thought we had enough chances to win the game. Give them credit, their power play was very effective tonight. It’s a good team. Obviously it’s disappointing when it’s a division game and you come up short, especially at home.”Rantanen and MacKinnon combined again at 6:22 of the second to give Colorado a 2-1 lead.In the high slot, Rantanen found MacKinnon on the right side, and he skated to the lower part of the circle and beat Rinne with a wrist shot low to the far side.“I was going to cut to the middle, I was just waiting for him to see me,” MacKinnon said of Rantanen. “He’s going to find me if I’m open.”Colorado is 11 for 22 on the power play in its last six games.“There was looks both ways and they took one more,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “I thought it was a game that went back and forth. There were lots of chances. Specialty teams (were) the difference.”Girard, playing against his former team, picked up the secondary assist on both of MacKinnon’s goals.Fiala tied the game 2-all at 9:06 of the second.From above the left circle, Filip Forsberg sent a pass to Fiala skating through the slot, and he was able to redirect the puck by Varlamov on the glove side just underneath the crossbar.NOTES: Nashville fell to 13-1-0 when scoring first. … After not allowing a power-play goal in five consecutive games Myles Garrett Jersey Elite , the Predators have given up three in their last two games. … Colorado has won five consecutive road games. … MacKinnon has points in five straight games (five goals, six assists).UP NEXTAvalanche: Host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.Predators: Host the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday. ST. LOUIS (AP) — Patrik Laine never envisioned challenging the NHL’s single-game scoring record.Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice did not share in his young winger’s modesty.Laine recorded the 61st five-goal game in NHL history Saturday night as the Jets’ defeated the St. Louis Blues 8-4.“I’m surprised that it hasn’t happened sooner,” Maurice said. “On the nights that he’s scored his three, he’s had his chances to get so much more.”Laine didn’t share his coach’s confidence.“If somebody thinks that it’s going to come easily, it doesn’t,” Laine said. “Every goal you’re going to score in this league, it’s hard. It’s the best league in the world. Obviously scoring five, it’s pretty unreal, but for those who think it’s easy, it’s not.”The last player to score five goals in a game was Johan Franzen of the Detroit Red Wings on Feb. 2, 2011. Darryl Sittler of the Toronto Maple Leafs was the last player to score six goals in a game, on April 22 Authentic Myles Garrett Jersey , 1976, against Boston.Joe Malone, who played in the early days of the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens, scored seven goals in a game with the Quebec Bulldogs in January 1920. He also had a six-goal game and three five-goal games.Brandon Tanev, Blake Wheeler, and Brandon Lemieux also scored for the Jets who snapped their first two-game losing streak of the season.Laurent Brossoit allowed four goals on 27 shots for his first career win against St. Louis. He improved to 4-1-1.Chad Johnson allowed six goals on 25 shots and fell to 2-5-0. He was pulled in favor of Jake Allen after allowing his sixth, and Laine’s fourth goal of the game. Allen stopped nine of the 11 shots he faced in relief.Laine’s five goal outburst gives him a league-leading 16 goals in 10 November games and 11 in his last four contests.“I felt like every time I touched the puck it kind of went in somehow,” Laine said. “It was one of those nights. It’s probably not going to happen in a while, but we’ll hope it happens. It was a great night overall for myself and my line mates.”Laine’s line mates, Bryan Little and Kyle Conner, combined to assist on four of Laine’s five goals.“It’s up there,” Little said about how Laine’s performance stacks up to feats he has witnessed during his career.“It honestly seemed like every time we got possession of the puck we’d make a couple passes and Patty was wide open in the slot. We’d just find him. I think he missed one chance tonight and scored on everything else Jarvis Landry Jersey Elite , so it shows just how good of a shooter he is.”Laine scored his first goal 16:26 into the first period when he buried a feed from Little just 41 seconds after Wheeler tied the game 1-all with his fourth goal of the season.Tarasenko tied the game 2-all 1:24 later, when he snapped a 10-game streak without scoring a goal with his seventh tally of the season.Laine’s second goal came on the power play with Vladimir Tarasenko serving a two-minute penalty for roughing and put Winnipeg up 3-2.Laine completed his seventh career hat trick and third of November when he beat Johnson 12:53 into the second period.Blues defenseman Joel Edmundson fought Tyler Myers shortly after Laine’s third goal, but that did nothing to change the tide as Laine netted his fourth goal later in the period.Laine netted his fifth of the game when he pushed a feed from Little past Allen, becoming the 45th player in NHL history to record a five-goal game.“We’ve got to play him harder,” Blues left wing David Perron said. “It’s almost like we respected him too much.”Perron, Ryan O’Reilly, and Pat Maroon also scored for the Blues who have not won consecutive games since defeating Carolina and San Jose on Nov. 6 and Nov. 9.“This is a tough one to swallow, especially after the effort we gave last night beating a team like that,” Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo said. “We’ve got to be ready to play.”NOTES: Blues LW Brayden Schenn skated in his 100th game with the team. . Perron scored his first goal in 14 games. .. Jets RW Blake Wheeler skated in his 800th career NHL game. ..
