After getting outplayed in a pair of close road losses, the Colorado Avalanche hope to regain a series lead when they return home to face the Minnesota Wild in Game 5 tonight. Colorado scored nine times en route to winning the first two games of this Western Conference first round series, but the Wild evened the best-of-seven set with a pair of defensive-minded victories on home ice. The game can be seen live on TSN at 9:30pm et/6:30pm pt. Minnesota notched a 1-0 overtime victory in Game 3 at Xcel Energy Center and then posted a 2-1 win on Thursday to knot the series at two games apiece. A switch in net has been part of the equation in getting Minnesota back in this series, but a better overall team effort on defense also has helped. Ilya Bryzgalov, the loser in Games 1 and 2, faced 45 shots in 99 minutes of action over Games 1 and 2, while Darcy Kuemper has seen just 48 pucks fired his way in 150 minutes of work. Kuemper relieved Bryzgalov in Game 2 and posted a 22-save shutout when called upon to start Game 3. The 23-year-old rookie then faced only 12 shots to post the victory on Thursday. The 12 shots allowed were a postseason club record for the Wild and the second-fewest amount of shots yielded by a team in a playoff game since 2008, behind only the 10 given up by Calgary on April 15, 2008. "We spent a lot of time in their zone, but I think were doing well without the puck. Were doing a better job of denying their speed," Wild forward Zach Parise said. Charlie Coyle and Jared Spurgeon each scored once to help Kuemper earn the win. "Ive kind of learned the importance of showing confidence in yourself because I think the players feed off that a little bit," Kuemper said. "It relaxes them in the defensive zone, but its easy to do when theyre playing the way they are in front of me." Ryan OReilly registered the lone goal for Colorado, while Semyon Varlamov stopped 30 shots in the setback. Avalanche forwards Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon and Paul Stastny each were held without a point in Games 3 and 4 after giving Minnesota fits in the first two contests. Stastny had three goals and four assists in Games 1 and 2, MacKinnon notched a goal and six helpers in those outings and Landeskog posted three goals. Landeskog, Colorados young captain, hopes a change of venue can get the clubs offense back on track. "We know that were strong at home," Landeskog said. "Were just going to go home and regroup and get back to work on Saturday." Matt Duchene took part in an optional morning skate Saturday but will not play tonight. The Avalanches leading scorer has been out since damaging the MCL in his left knee when he ran into a teammate against San Jose on March 29. Head coach Patrick Roy will wait to see how Duchenes knee responds after todays initial practice and will have a further update on Sunday. The Avs, Central Division champions and the second seed in the West, were 26-11-4 on home ice during the 2013-14 regular season. Minnesota was just 17-17-7 on the road. Minnesotas Matt Cooke served the first contest of his seven-game suspension for kneeing Colorados Tyson Barrie in Game 3. Barrie is out four-to-six weeks with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Game 6 of this set is scheduled for Monday in Minnesota. If necessary, Colorado will host Game 7 on Wednesday. Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys . He liked what he saw on Tuesday night.

This has become the Raptors mantra as they embark on a new era with a new regime and, in the not-so-distant future, a new image.(SportsNetwork.com) - Adrian Peterson isnt even eligible to play football right now and he still remains the property of the Minnesota Vikings. But Jerry Jones has already started laying the groundwork for a possible homecoming for the Texas native. After a 12-win season that few saw coming, the usually lampooned Jones was selected as the 2014 NFL Executive of the Year by the Professional Football Writers of America earlier this week. Jones, Dallas owner, president and general manager, is obviously a guy who is fond of titles and he can now add another to the resume as the first Cowboys staffer to earn the award in its 21 years of existence. As a member of the PFWA, full disclosure forces me to admit that I didnt vote for Jones nor did I even consider him for the award and that was no oversight. Jones was honored for taking the Cowboys to the next level after three straight 8-8 seasons. To his credit, Dallas captured the clubs first NFC East title since 2009 and Jones made several successful personnel moves that helped the Boys reach the postseason. Drafting stud right guard Zack Martin was a brilliant decision and signing underrated defensive end Jeremy Mincey in free agency was rock solid, as was trading for talented linebacker Rolando McClain, who had been on the scrap heap after retiring on two different occasions. Think about those high-profile moves, though. Even if you give Jones credit for Mincey, he reportedly had to be restrained by his son on his way to taking Johnny Manziel instead of Martin during the draft, and the idea of swapping for the enigmatic McClain from Baltimore was born out of desperation only after Sean Lee went down with a torn ACL in the offseason. Circumstance and a bit of good fortune doesnt necessarily equate to a solid, well-thought-out plan being implemented and coming to fruition. Quite simply, Jones has never been a guy who makes prudent decisions on a consistent basis, at least dating back to his gin-fueled divorce with Jimmy Johnson. Consider that Jones went into the season with a lame-duck coaching staff, headed by head coach Jason Garrett and a plethora of veteran coaches like defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, and offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Bill Callahan. After bowing out of the playoffs in the divisional round to Green Bay, Jones was able to keep his most of his staff in tact. But he had to overpay, and he did lose the architect of the teams true strength, its offensive line. Callahan, who was the OC in name only although he once actually was in charge of that side of the ball when Jones took the power away from Garrett, moved on to divisional-rival Washington, so Scott Linehan, the passing-game coordinator, could have the actual title (offensive coordinator) for the duties he performs. If this all sounds like the Cheers episode in which Sam Malone (Ted Danson) gives everyone titles to make them happy, you have no idea. Marinelli actually came to North Texas as the defensive line coach under defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, who piloted one of the worst defenses in NFL history in 2013. So Jones gave Marinelli the DC nameplate but didnt fire Kiffin, bestowing on him the ceremonial title of assistant head coach/defense.dddddddddddd. The point of all this is that Jones is, to be kind, unpredictable, some might even say unhinged. And that brings us to the free agent front, where both superstars Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray are eligible to test the waters with Jones only having the ability to place the franchise tag on one of them. Is it possible? Yes, Jones told the teams website this week when asked if both stars could be back in 2015. But if you just look at it from the standpoint of dollars and cents, it probably doesnt look reasonable. Bryant just completed his rookie deal with three straight seasons with 1,200 or more receiving yards and 12 or more touchdowns. In 2014, he led the NFL with 16 TDs through the air. Murray, on the other hand, just had a season for the ages, winning the NFL rushing title and setting a new single-season franchise recorded with 1,845 yards. He also touched the football a mind-numbing 449 times as Dallas literally ran him into the ground with the knowledge it would likely be moving on after the season. It just is going to depend, Jones said. What is the good news is, were in a lot better shape under the cap than weve been at any time over the last two or three years. So what does it depend on? Jones can say whatever he wants, but the reality is that the Cowboys reportedly offered Murray a startlingly low offer of just over $4 million a year, basically an invitation to walk out the door. Theres no timeframe, Jones continued. We could easily be visiting about that immediately with them. Because we have them under contract, we can talk to them anytime. So really the order of our day, weve got a lot of work to do on our roster. That work could lead Jones to Peterson, who is about to turn 30 and is owed $15.4 million next year. I think the elephant in the room is Adrian Peterson. If (Jones) feels like hes able to buy low on Adrian Peterson and hes reinstated, theyve got their eye on that situation, NFL insider Jason La Canfora said on CBS Radio. Its likely the former All-Pro is not going to be agreeable to any kind of restructured deal in Minnesota because he believes he was treated unfairly by both the league and the Vikings during his highly publicized child-abuse case in which he used a switch to discipline his son. That means the Vikings options are limited to paying Peterson, releasing him or convincing someone to trade for him, which would likely mean he agrees to a restructured deal in another city. Peterson is from Palestine, Texas, and has admitted in the past that he has often thought about playing for the Cowboys at some point during his career. Furthermore he and Jones have even developed a bit of a personal relationship over the years which have caused some to cry tampering. Dallas is about the only team Peterson would bend over backward for and agree to a restructure, an end game that would enable the Vikings to get some kind of a draft pick for the superstar and for Jones to get the apple of his eye. Whether thats the right move, however, is another matter.
