BOSTON -- The Colorado Avalanche jumped ahead early and got yet another win in Boston -- this time to end a recent skid.Matt Duchene scored his 10th goal and John Mitchell got his first, lifting the Avalanche over the Boston Bruins 4-2 on Thursday night.The Avs had lost four straight and five of six, but again came out winners in Boston, where theyve won 10 times in their last 11 visits.We were off to a good start in the first period. We got a couple quick ones and we rode that, said Nathan MacKinnon, whose short-handed goal 12:57 into the game put Colorado up 2-0.The last time the Avs lost a game in Boston was March 30, 1998, when MacKinnon was just 2 years old.I had no idea. I know weve been hot here my first three years, MacKinnon said. Thats cool.Matt Duchene, John Mitchell and Carl Soderberg also scored for the Avs. Duchenes goal 5:30 into the game was the first of three unassisted tallies for Colorado, which shut down Boston in the third period after David Pastrnak scored twice in the second to pull the Bruins within 3-2.The Avs hadnt won since beating Columbus 3-2 in overtime on Nov. 21.We found a way to score first, which was nice, Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. We havent done that much lately, especially on this losing streak.Boston, coming off an overtime loss the night before at Washington, ended a streak of six straight games with a point. The Bruins are 4-1-2 in their last seven.Anton Khudobin had 18 saves for Boston, which fell behind 3-0 for the second straight night. The Bruins rallied Wednesday with three unanswered goals to force overtime before the Capitals won it 4-3. The Bruins didnt seem to have the energy for another comeback Thursday, getting just eight shots on goal in the third period.Until you can find your legs, youve got to be smart, and we werent, Boston coach Claude Julien said. We gave up some soft goals and certainly dug ourselves a hole.Pastrnaks goals 1:20 apart in the second period briefly revived Boston, but the Bruins didnt score again despite outshooting Colorado 31-22 for the game.Calvin Pickard made 29 saves for the Avs.I think the second period we could have tidied it up a little bit. We lost some momentum, Duchene said. I think there is still lots of room for improvement but a start like that -- you get out to a 3-0 lead -- its pretty tough to blow that. Youve got to really play poorly and we played really solid in the third and especially in the first.Colorado led 2-0 after the first, then Mitchell made it 3-0 after forcing a turnover at the Colorado blue line and taking it the other way for a wrist shot that beat Khudobin on the stick side.It was only the 11th shot of the game for the Avalanche, who took an early lead on Duchenes 10th goal of the season and went up 2-0 when MacKinnon scored at 12:57.Pastrnak got Boston on the board with a breakaway goal just after getting out of the penalty box, then struck again on a slap shot from above the circles, the 18th goal of the season for Bostons 20-year old rising star.Game notes Avs RW Jarome Iginla played in his 1,499th career game, tying Mike Modano for 16th on the NHL career list. ...

Controversial gambling figure Eddie Hayson scoffed at claims he and Foran brothers Kieran and Liam are linked to the latest NRL game being investigated for match-fixing.NSW Police confirmed on Friday that the round-seven match between Parramatta and Manly is under scrutiny after reports an $18,000 bet was placed on the Eels winning by five points or more minutes before kickoff.News Corp reports former NRL player Liam, Hayson and another associate in Frank Farrugia won $41,000 from the match, which was only won by the Eels 22-10 after scoring three tries in the final five minutes.It is believed the dividend was then re-laid on a winning horse called Brazen, with part of those winnings deposited into Kierans TAB account by Liam.Kieran, who last week was granted a release from his lucrative four-year playing contract with the Eels to address personal issues, denied any wrongdoing.The money he put into my account was from our winnings on Brazen, Kieran told News Corp.The Eels-Sea Eagles game in April was one of nine appearances made by Kieran in the blue-and-gold this year, however Hayson sneered at ssuggestions he, or the Forans, had fixed the game.ddddddddddddThis is an absolute wild goose chase that is going nowhere, like the other (match-fixing allegations). Its absolutely laughable (to suggest we fixed a game), Hayson told News Corp.Speaking after his sides 10-9 win over Manly on Friday night, Eels coach Brad Arthur denied any knowledge of the latest match-fixing claim to rock the club.Asked whether he was aware of any irregularities around the match, he said: No.The fixture is the third NRL game currently being investigated by the states Organised Crime Squad, and the second involving the same two sides.The NRL said on Friday it is continuing to cooperate with authorities over the allegations.Our position has not changed ... we will take whatever action is necessary to protect our game, a NRL spokesman said.Anyone convicted of match-fixing can expect to be banned for life but, at this stage, no one has been charged and we should avoid jumping to conclusions.
