DENVER -- Rene Bourque was simply fighting for the puck along the boards in overtime. Replica Jerseys . Moments later, he was credited with the winning goal without having taken the shot.Bourque had two goals, including the game-winner when Nikolaj Ehlers scored into his own net, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Friday night.Bourque was given the score after Ehlers backhanded the puck through the legs of teammate Toby Enstrom and past goaltender Michael Hutchinson 1:23 into overtime.I felt some pressure from two guys and thought I had some support, Ehlers said. I tried to get the puck off the boards and to Toby. The puck got past him and into the net.Bourque wasnt bothered by the way he got credit for the goal.Ill take 20 more of those, he said. I was just behind the net and it kind of got moved to the corner and we were still battling two-on-two and he got the loose puck and just fired it. I didnt even see it.Mikko Rantanen scored his first career goal and Semyon Varlamov had 16 saves for the Avalanche, who lost center Matt Duchene to a head injury suffered in the second period.I know they said in the intermission they were going to take a look at him and then I got word on the bench he wasnt coming back, Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. Im hoping hes going to be back (soon), but I have to talk with them and see what the plan is for him. Hes played real well for us. Hes been the driving force to the bulk of our offense this season.Blake Wheeler had a goal and an assist, Mark Scheifele also scored and Ehlers had two assists. Hutchinson finished with 25 saves two weeks after blanking Colorado here.Varlamov didnt face many shots but came up with a big save in overtime when he stopped Wheeler on a breakaway, and moments later Bourque scored.I never thought the game would end the way it, Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said. The pass went to the net and it should never had gotten through. But that play wasnt the reason we lost tonight.Rantanen, who played in nine games last season and started this year in the AHL, got his first goal 1:03 into the second period. He got the puck at the right circle, looked for a passing lane before putting one off Hutchinsons shoulder and in just 15 seconds into Colorados power play.They gave me enough room, Rantanen said. I tried to look first, look (for a) tip for (Gabriel Landeskog) but it wasnt open so I just tried to rip it over the glove and this time it went in.Bourque gave Colorado a 2-0 lead at 9:33 of the second, his third goal of the season.The Jets wiped out the lead with goals 2:33 apart. Wheeler got Winnipeg within with 6:33 left and Scheifele tied it with a power-play goal later in the period.Winnipeg defenseman Jacob Trouba made his season debut after signing a two-year deal with the team Monday. Trouba was a restricted free agent and held out to start the season.Trouba had two shots on goal in 23:14 of ice time.It was good. I didnt really know too much what to expect, Trouba said. After the first period I thought I started feeling the puck a little better and making a couple better reads. Obviously there is some adjusting, overall I thought it was pretty well.Game notes Former Avalanche star and Hockey Hall of Famer Peter Forsberg was in attendance. ...

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. They dont earn major headlines, but the summer hockey landscape is littered with veterans who have signed a one-year contract with the goal of impressing a team enough to earn just one more multiyear deal. And if it doesnt work out? Ask Alexander Semin, who last summer signed a one-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens after being bought out by the Carolina Hurricanes. He played 15 games, was placed on waivers by December and was last seen winning a KHL title.Players used to get paid for what they had done in the league. Now theyre paid for what we predict theyre going to do in the league. The cap has changed the mentality of how we look at players, said former?New York Rangers?and?Islanders GM Neil Smith. If you dont fit into one of two groups -- young, up-and-coming star or veteran superstar -- then youre going to have to sign a short-term deal because no one wants to use up their cap on a guy theyre scared of.Here are the players who have signed deals and are looking at a similar make-or-break season in 2016-17.Thomas Vanek, LW, Detroit Red Wings: Vanek appeared to be a crucial piece when the Minnesota Wild signed the high-scoring winger to a three-year, $19.5 million contract in 2014. At the time, he was fresh off a productive 68-point season and a trip to the Eastern Conference finals with the Canadiens. But Vanek never made it to the third year of that contract, being bought out by Minnesota last month before signing a one-year deal with the Wings. The two-time 40-goal scorer struggled mightily last season, scoring 18 goals and posting a minus-10 before going goalless in 10 Wild playoff games. Vanek, 32, isnt being signed to be a bottom-six forward, meaning he must recapture his scoring touch to stick around. Hell have every opportunity to do that with the Red Wings, who boast talented centers in Darren Helm, Dylan Larkin and fellow free-agent signee Frans Nielsen, not to mention scoring wingers in Henrik Zetterberg and Gustav Nyquist.P.A. Parenteau, RW, New York Islanders: The one-year deal Parenteau signed to return to the Islanders makes it four teams in four seasons for the veteran. But Parenteau might have found the perfect landing spot after navigating between the Colorado Avalanche, Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs. A ninth-round pick in 2001, Parenteau enjoyed his greatest success with the Islanders, including a watershed 2011-12 season in which he collected 67 points riding shotgun alongside an emerging John Tavares. That breakout season came at the perfect time because Parenteau signed a four-year, $16 million contract with the Avalanche the following summer. But he never regained his scoring touch and has struggled to maintain consistency since then. He did manage to score 20 goals on the rebuilding Maple Leafs last season, his first time reaching the mark since his first season with the Islanders. The opportunity to rekindle his old chemistry with Tavares could be the 33-year-olds beest chance to earn one last multiyear contract. Fake Hockey Jerseys. Chris Kelly, C, Ottawa Senators: Despite being an important depth forward on the Boston Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup-winning team, Chris Kelly seemed destined to end up elsewhere. Despite being beloved by teammates and fans alike, Kelly was the subject of trade rumors for years. His production dipped and he missed almost all of last season with a broken leg, leaving Kelly with little leverage negotiating with a front office at a cap crossroads. Like Parenteau, however, Kelly might have found the perfect landing spot. The center was drafted by the Senators in 1999 and spent parts of seven seasons there before being traded to Boston in 2011. At 35, hell be looked to for leadership and depth, but saddled with a one-year deal, there isnt much room for Kelly to slip in his return to Canadas capital.Mason Raymond, LW, Anaheim Ducks: If the 2011 Stanley Cup finals were a career-defining triumph for Kelly, it was very much the opposite for Raymond. Playing for the runner-up Vancouver Canucks in that closely contested seven-game series, Raymond sustained a severe back injury on a Johnny Boychuk hit in Game 6. The injury sidelined him for several months and Raymond still hasnt fully recovered. He signed with Toronto in 2013 and enjoyed a 19-goal season with the struggling Maple Leafs. That performance earned him a three-year contract with the Calgary Flames. But Raymond failed to fulfill expectations in Calgary, finishing the season in the American Hockey League before the Flames bought him out in June. At 30, hell have an excellent opportunity to recapture his scoring touch with the Ducks playing alongside world-class players Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Ryan Kesler. Hell also be playing for new Ducks coach Randy Carlyle, who is back for his second stint in Anaheim and coached Raymond during his comeback 2013-14 season with the Leafs.Cory Conacher, C, Tampa Bay Lightning: This might actually be the third or fourth chance for the diminutive Conacher, who played last season in Switzerland after spending much of 2014-15 in the AHL. If Conacher is looking for one last shot at the NHL, hell do no better than Tampa. An undrafted free agent out of unheralded Canisius College, Conacher was the 2011-12 AHL MVP before bursting into the NHL with the Lightning. Seeing considerable ice time with both Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier, Conacher collected 12 points in his first seven NHL games. Then he was traded to the Senators for goalie?Ben Bishop in what remains one of the more lopsided deals in recent NHL history. Conacher has bounced around but is still only 26 and cant expect many more chances to prove himself. With all the talent surrounding him in Tampa, there might not be a better opportunity for him to get one last crack in the NHL. ' ' '
