but two holes later Langer made a mess of No. 7

Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork. Vontaze Burfict Jersey .com) - Jarome Iginla scored the decisive goal in the ninth round of the shootout as the Colorado Avalanche edged the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 at Joe Louis Arena. Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene scored on Colorados first two chances in the tiebreaker, but the Red Wings stayed alive with goals from Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar in rounds two and three. Detroits Petr Mrazek and Colorados Calvin Pickard then matched one another save for save until Iginlas goal to begin the ninth round. Pickard then made a right pad save on Brendan Smith to secure the victory. Pickard finished with 34 saves for the Avalanche, who have won back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 22-25 and concluded their road trip at 2-0-1. They have played beyond regulation in four of their last five games, going 3-0-2 over that stretch. It was a pretty defensive match for awhile, Pickard said. It was an exciting shootout too, but its definitely nice to be on the winning end of it. Mrazek, starting in place of Jimmy Howard (lower-body injury), made 22 saves for a Detroit team winless in its last six games (0-2-4). The Red Wings have totaled six goals during their current skid. I thought Mrazek gave us a great chance, Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock said. Anytime your goalie makes as many saves as he did, you have to find a way to score some goals. The teams traded power-play goals in the third period. Detroit struck first at the 4:52 mark when Riley Sheahan sent a pass from the left corner to the right circle for Pavel Datsyuk, who beat Pickard on the blocker side with a wrist shot. Pickard had robbed Datsyuk with a glove save during a first-period power play. Moments after Duchene hit the post, Tomas Jurco was called for interference following a faceoff in the Colorado zone. The Avalanche converted 10 seconds into the man advantage as Erik Johnson scored on a one-timer from atop the left circle with 4:15 left in the frame.

Mediate is looking to start the 2015 season with a victory after going winless in 2014. Mediates two wins on the Champions Tour both came in 2013. Hes also won six times in his career on the PGA Tour. Corey Pavin began the week with a 5-under 67 at Hualalai Golf Club and he is alone in second place followed by seven players at 4-under. Six-time major champion Tom Watson headlines the group of players two shots behind the leader at 4-under 68. The 65-year-old Watson is tied for third with Esteban Toledo, Paul Goydos, Bart Bryant, Olin Browne, John Cook and Wes Short, Jr. Defending champion Bernhard Langer, who is coming off a five-win season in 2014, ended the first round tied for 25th at even-par 72. Mediate took control early on as he poured in three birdies on his first four holes at one three and four. Following a pair of pars on five and six, Mediate drained his fourth gain on No. 7. Two holes later, Mediate stumbled to a bogey on No. 9 and he made the turn at 3-under. An eagle on the par-5 10th hole got Mediate right back on track. He then ran off three straight pars from 11 before making another birdie on No. 14, moving him to 6-under. After trading a bogey on No. 16 for a birdie on No. 17, Mediate closed things out with a par at the last to grab the early lead in the season-opening event. I made a bunch of putts today, said Mediate. It was one of those days, had a ball today. It was great playing with Tom (Watson). I like the place. I always have. Brandon Marshall Jersey. Love the golf course. It fits my eye. Pavin had a strong front nine followed by an up-and-down back nine on day one. A birdie at the first got Pavin going, and after four straight pars from two he rolled in back-to-back gains on six and seven. Pavin made the turn with a pair of pars on eight and nine. Just like Mediate, Pavin drained an eagle on the par-5 10th to move his score to 5-under. A bogey on 11 gave one of those shots back, but Pavin responded three holes later with his fourth birdie on No. 14. Pavin played his final four holes at even par after making a bogey on 16 and a birdie at the last. Without one disastrous hole, Langer could very well be near the top of the leaderboard. A trio of birdies from three had the defending champion rolling, but two holes later Langer made a mess of No. 7. Langers second shot on seven found a waste area with hardened lava and rocks. Instead of taking an unplayable drop, Langer attempted to punch the ball out. After taking four swings and unable to get the ball out, Langers club hit the ball twice on his seventh shot, resulting in a 1-stroke penalty. He wound up two-putting from there for a 10 on the par-5. Langer made two more birdies on 10 and 16. Besides the seventh hole, Langer played the other 17 at 5-under. NOTES: Mediate won at the Allianz Championship and the Shaw Charity Classic in 2013, his rookie season on the Champions Tour ... Pavin also won the Allianz Championship in 2012, his lone win on tour ... Watsons last victory came at the 2011 Senior PGA Championship ... Of the 40 players in the field, only 12 of them finished their first round above par. Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys CheapWholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys' ' '
