Semyon Varlamov had a breakout season in 2013-14 and earned a long-term deal as a result. The Colorado Avalanche goaltender has been trying to recapture that success, but it has been a rough start for the Russian.Varlamov will be in net Friday when Colorado hosts the Winnipeg Jets, but his hold on the No. 1 goalie spot is tenuous. He has lost five straight games, including a tough outing in St. Louis on Sunday. He was pulled after two periods of the 5-1 loss to the Blues and has allowed 20 goals during his personal five-game losing streak.Hes permitted five goals in four of his eight starts and has a 2-6-0 record with one shutout, a 3.67 goals-against average and .881 save percentage. He is being pushed by Calvin Pickard, who was 3-0-0 with a shutout before giving up four goals to Arizona on Tuesday.Both guys, if I look for the battle for the net, weve played better games in front of Pick than we have for Varly, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar told HockeyBuzz.com after practice Thursday. Varlys played real good first periods and now we need him to sustain his game through the course of 60 minutes or 65 minutes plus.Colorado is hoping it catches the Jets a little leg weary after they played Thursday night. Catching Winnipeg on the second day of a back to back doesnt guarantee a win, though. The Jets came in two weeks ago after beating the Dallas Stars at home and came away with a 1-0 win over the Avalanche.The Jets won, 3-2, in Arizona on Thursday, the team that beat Colorado 4-2 on Tuesday.Bednar shook up his lines in that loss, moving future Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla to the third line and putting Rene Bourque on the second line with Gabriel Landeskog and Carl Soderberg. Bednar is trying to kick-start the offense, which has scored five goals in the last five games, four of them losses.But boosting the offense wont matter if Varlamov doesnt come out of his funk. He could give way to Pickard if he continues to struggle, but he needs help from his skaters.We have an obligation as a team to play well in front of him as well, Bednar told HockeyBuzz.com. You saw a little bit last game we left Pick hung out to dry on a few of the plays and we end up losing the game. We didnt give up a bunch of scoring chances, but we gave up way too many odd-man rushes. We broke some of them up and we miscued on some, but the scoring chances we gave up, there were too many quality chances.Colorado will be without forward Blake Comeau, who is expected to miss his third straight game with a groin injury.The Jets are coming in tired but happy after beating the Coyotes. They could also get fresh legs if defenseman Jacob Trouba makes his season debut. He took part in Thursdays morning skate but coach Paul Maurice stuck with the same lineup that beat Dallas on Tuesday.The performance of the players that are in the lineup now has to be important, and just getting him on the ice and getting him some time here, getting him comfortable, Maurice told the Winnipeg Free Press. Its going to be a tough call based on (Tuesdays) game, and really for some of them, when the player has to come out, we want it to be the right time.Winning Thursday might help with the decision to change the chemistry.Youre more open to put a new player in on back-to-back (with) fresh legs, Maurice told the Winnipeg Free Press.

Vapormax Plus Cargo Khaki For Sale . For the Wild it was their first win of the season and they now have a record of 1-1-2 while the Jets fall to 2-2. Jets start a six game home stand Friday with another divisional game, home to the Dallas Stars.With the proverbial second half of the season about to begin, there is no question the Blue Jays have to upgrade at second base, either now or in the off season. Brett Lawrie may well fill the void at second base, but of course that would leave a hole at third. Earlier this week, the Yankees inquired about Padres switch-hitting third baseman Chase Headley and were basically told he wasnt available. Headley, after a stellar season a year ago, is only batting .229 with seven homers and 31 runs batted in this time around. Still, he is highly regarded and will become a free agent after next season. At some point, San Diego may be forced to move him if they cant agree on a new contract. But failing Headley, maybe the Blue Jays should take a look at Padres second baseman, Jedd Gyorko. Gyorko won the Brooks Wallace Award in 2010 as the best Division 1 shortstop while playing at West Virginia. Hes playing second base now with the Padres, mostly due to the presence of Headley. His defence is considered average at best, yet hes only made one error at second this season with a .996 fielding percentage. Scouts figure his best position, though, is third base where in a brief stint this season hes made two errors. Gyorkos only 24-years-old and in just his first year in the majors. Hes known most for his bat, hitting .272 so far this season with eight homers (six in May) and 25 runs batted in. Its interesting, as well, that his manager at Double A San Antonio last season was Blue Jays skipper John Gibbons. So there is a connection. Gyorko may not be available, since hes only making $490,000s this season and wont be eligible for arbitration until 2016 and free agency until 2019. Hes the type of player a smaller market team such as San Diego would be likely to hold onto. Still, it might be worth a call because you know the Jays wont be in the bidding for Robinson Cano in the off season to fill that 2B void. A year ago, much was made - and rightly so - of Baltimores incredible record in one-run games (29-9), the best win percentage in that category in the modern baseball era, as well as their 16-2 record in extra-inning games. Both combined to be a big factor in putting the Os in the post-season for only the third time in 20 seasons. For whatever its worth, there are two teams in the American League and one in the National on somewhat similar runs this season. Oakland is 19-11 in one-run contests and 7-3 in extra inning deciisions.dddddddddddd Cleveland, maybe a bit of a surprise, is 18-9 in one-run games and 5-1 in extra innings. Both teams have deep bullpens, though Clevelands underachieved a bit in the first half. In the National League, Arizona is 21-12 in one-run games and 10-4 in extra innings. On the flip side of that, though in the Senior Circuit, St. Louis is only 12-10 in one-run games and just 1-4 in extra-inning games, yet the Cardinals lead the National League Central, by a game on Pittsburgh and have the best record in the majors at 57-36. You could excuse the Boston Red Sox for looking over their shoulders and hearing footsteps. After a tremendous first half under John Farrell, they cooled off a bit, going 5-5 heading into the break and their Division lead is down to two-and-a-half games on hard-charging Tampa Bay, which has won 14 of its last 16. The prime concern with the Bosox is their starting pitching, and in particular Clay Buchholz. The veteran right hander, who was putting up Cy Young-like numbers in the first half, is still being bothered by pain in the back of his right shoulder. Hes had two MRIs this season that found bursitis but no structural damage in his shoulder. Buchholz was due to be examined again at some point on Friday to try and discover if there is something more wrong that might have been missed earlier. If Buchholz ends up gone for the long haul and Jon Lester continues his up and down ways, Boston may have trouble even holding on to a wild card spot unless they can deal for a top notch starter. The Rays look like the team to watch the rest of the way. Theyve won nine out of 10 and 14 of their last 16. Their starting rotation, including David Price, is almost completely healthy again and Alex Cobb, who got nailed in the head with that line drive, could be back in a couple of weeks. The Rays staff has put together 15 consecutive quality starts, shattering the club record of nine set three years ago. This is not the team, the Blue Jays needed to be facing coming right out of the chute at Rogers Centre to begin the second half. If the Jays finish the season in the second division and miss the post-season, they need look no farther than their record against their own division to see why. They are only 18-27 against the East with 31 to go. Theyd have to win 20 of the remaining 31 just to hit the break-even point of 38-38, and that doesnt figure to be nearly good enough.
