DENVER - A dominant performance by the Chicago Blackhawks was nearly spoiled by Colorados rookie goalie. Royce Freeman Jersey .Bryan Bickell scored late in the third period and Chicago overcame strong goaltending from Calvin Pickard to beat the Avalanche 3-2 Wednesday night.Corey Crawford made 27 saves, and Jonathan Toews and Andrew Shaw also scored for the Blackhawks. Patrick Kane had three assists.The Blackhawks won at Pepsi Center for the first time in two seasons. Last season they played well in Denver only to fall short against the young Avalanche.What a hockey game that was. Anybodys hockey game, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. Very comparable to what happened here last year. We got a lot of chances, got a lot of sniffs around the net and came out on the wrong side. Today it was nice to come out ahead.Pickard, making his first start after winning two games in relief of Reto Berra, kept the Avalanche in the game with a career-high 42 saves. He left for an extra skater with 2:15 remaining, but Colorado couldnt tie it.Ryan OReilly and Max Talbot scored for the Avalanche, who had won two consecutive games.I should have had a lot more, OReilly said. The goal was definitely nice, but I still need to keep working harder and do a lot more things better.Colorado tied it 2-all on OReillys third goal of the season at 3:36 of the third. Chicago stepped up the pressure but Pickard kept it a tie game until Bickells go-ahead goal at 14:43 on a pass from Kane.Duncan (Keith) threw kind of a half-decent pass to Kane and he picked it up, Bickell said. I dont know how he was handling it when it was bouncing, but he made a play and got the puck to the net.Until then it appeared Pickard might steal a win for Colorado. He kept the Blackhawks off the board in the first period and made four of his 13 saves in the first 20 minutes on Marian Hossa, who had several chances.Hossa finished with a game-high nine shots.Pickard has established himself as the starter until Semyon Varlamov returns from a groin injury that has sidelined him the last four games.Its good for me playing games in the NHL, Pickard said. You get to feel more comfortable each one that goes by.Pickards strong play continued into the second. Chicago went on the power play early in the period and put a lot of pressure on Pickard but couldnt beat him.The Avalanche capitalized when Talbot scored less than two minutes later to give Colorado a 1-0 lead. It was Talbots second of the season.The Blackhawks finally broke through when Brent Seabrooks shot from the point trickled through Pickards legs and Toews knocked it into an empty net to tie it.It was Toews 10th goal of the season.That ended Pickards scoreless streak at 149 minutes, 24 seconds. Less than three minutes later, Shaw made it 2-1 on another power play when he beat Pickard with a one-timer from the left circle. It was his fourth of the season.I thought Pickard was outstanding out there, Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. He had some great saves for us. He was good on the (penalty kill). He was our best player. Unfortunately they scored on nice goals, (but) they had to work hard for those goals. Its what you ask for your goalie.NOTES: Chicago was 2 for 6 on the power play. ... Avalanche D Erik Johnson was scratched with a head injury sustained in Tuesdays win at Arizona. Karl Stollery was recalled from Lake Erie of the AHL and played in his place. ... Shaw returned to the lineup after missing three games with an upper-body injury. ... Colorado LW Alex Tanguay was back in the lineup after missing two games with a facial fracture. Josey Jewell Broncos Jersey . Toronto dropped a 7-2 decision to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon, with only a pair of late runs preventing a second straight shutout loss.

Isaac Yiadom Jersey .I shared with him how much I appreciated all he had done for us, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said of that Thursday night farewell. http://www.authenticshopbroncos.com/broncos-case-keenum-navy-blue-jersey/ . JOHNS, N.Veteran Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon made a rare gaffe against Spain but his team-mates refused to point the finger. Spain had dominated Thursdays World Cup Qualifier but rarely tested Buffon until the Juventus goalkeepers howler in the 55th minute.Sergio Busquets long pass appeared innocuous enough but Buffon rushed out of the penalty area to clear and completely missed the ball, allowing Vitolo to tuck into an empty net. The set-back seemed to spark the Azzurri into life, though, and they secured a 1-1 draw when Daniele De Rossi converted a penalty with eight minutes remaining after Eder was tripped by Sergio Ramos.Even the best goalkeeper in history has shown that he is human - we had all begun to think he was a machine, said De Rossi. Spains midfielder Vitolo (R) scores after Buffons error Of course, it would have been better if he had made that mistake while playing for Juventus.Defender Leonardo Bonucci - a team-mate of Buffon with club as well as country - also shrugged off the 38-year-olds error.I cant do anything but say thanks to Gigi for what he does for Juventus and the national team. He is a superstar, Bonucci said. He showedd that even he is a human being, and we had some doubts about that until today. Tramaine Brock Jersey. . Buffon himself cut a philosophical figure after his moment to forget.In a year-and-a-half, one can laugh about it. If it happens again in two days or 20 days, we will laugh less, he told reporters.We managed to recover and my team-mates were really commendable because after the goal we found a physical and mental force to rescue a match which seemed impossible looking at how the first hour went.I had too many ideas in my head on how I was going to kick the ball. I was scared of kicking it off him and I thought of another way, but then ended up making a hash of it.Buffon, who won the World Cup with Italy in 2006, broke a 22-year-old Serie A record last season for not conceding a goal, going 974 consecutive minutes before he was finally beaten.Spain and Italy are level on points in Group G after following up opening wins with a point but Albania moved top after a 2-0 victory in Lichtenstein maintained their perfect start to qualifying.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.
