The Colorado Avalanche have no shortage of viable fantasy forwards. Johnny Unitas Jersey . The question is how many minutes will be available to them and can any of their defence or goaltending provide value? Top Picks: Following a down year in 2011-2012, Matt Duchene rebounded with his highest points-per-game (0.91) of his career, playing a career-high 20:55 per game. Among all the skilled young forwards in Colorado, hes the best bet to lead the scoring race in 2013-2014. Colorados 20-year-old captain, Gabriel Landeskog, wasnt as productive in his second season, but his peripheral numbers (shots on goal and hits) alone make him a quality No. 2 left wing option. If he would score on more than 8.2% of his shots on goal (his career rate), then his offensive totals could take off. Value Plays: PA Parenteau proved last season that hes more than just a product of playing on John Tavares wing. The late bloomer has 163 points in three seasons since becoming a full-time NHLer. Thats good enough for 31st in the league in scoring over that time. If not for a run of minus ratings, hed be even more valuable than a No. 3 RW, though hes a high-end option in that respect if your league rewards penalty minutes. A three-time 70-point scorer, Paul Stastnys points per game has steadily declined, to a career-low 0.60 points per game last season, so even though he plays 19 minutes per game, hes being used in more of a two-way role. So keep offensive expectations in check. After a protracted contract negotiation last season, Ryan OReilly still finished with a career-best 0.69 points per game and hes going to shift to left wing this season to make room for Nathan MacKinnon at centre. That move could put OReilly in a more offensive position, allowing him to continue increasing his scoring output. 33-year-old Alex Tanguay returns to Colorado and hes no longer the point-per-game threat that he was when he left as a much younger man, but hes a skilled two-way player who can score enough to have value in deep leagues. LW Jamie McGinn has 19 goals and 35 points in 64 games since arriving in Colorado, and he plays a physical game, so his hit totals help too, but hes likely starting the year on the third line. Even if its a good third line, that could limit his offensive upside enough to keep him a waiver wire candidate in anything but the deepest leagues. Sleepers/Breakthrough: Surely the Avalanche had higher hopes for Semyon Varlamov than the .909 save percentage hes provided in 88 games over two seasons, but he still has appeal because hes the starting goaltender for a team that has some potential to be competitive. The story of the Avalanche defence is that they dont provide much offence, so any options on the blueline are going to be speculative plays. Tyson Barrie might be the best choice, as hes put up 13 points in 42 NHL games as well as 61 points in 87 AHL games in two pro seasons. In a full season, he could put up 30-plus. An agitator who is skilled enough to contribute offensively, Steve Downie played just two games before suffering a torn ACL last season and he may not be ready for the start of the 2013-2014 season, but for leagues that count penalty minutes, hes a rare commodity -- one of three players since 2009-2010 to score at least 45 goals while accumulating at least 500 penalty minutes. Rookies: Its not like the Colorado Avalanche needed to improve at centre, but when they deemed Nathan MacKinnon to be the best prospect in the 2013 Draft, he was their pick at No. 1 and is set to open the season as the No. 3 centre. There seems little doubt that MacKinnon is ready to play in the NHL, but how much ice time he receives, with Duchene and Stastny ahead of him on the depth chart, could have a limiting effect on his overall production. As an upside play, though, hes worth a try as a low-end No. 3 or good No. 4 centre for fantasy owners.

"It was awesome," he said. Coming off an ugly three-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees, Toronto found itself in a deep hole early after the Reds put an eight spot up on starter Liam Hendriks (six runs in 1 2/3 innings pitched) and Todd Redmond in the second.RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes talked in the locker room before Monday nights game about how they felt they were due for a win against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus had won seven straight in the series, including a dramatic comeback victory the last time the teams met in Raleigh at the end of December. "We knew we owed em one," Eric Staal said. "We wanted to pay them back for some of the good games they played against us." Staal and his brother, Jordan, helped Carolina make that pregame prediction a reality, combining to score three goals in a 2:47 span in the third period and lifting the Hurricanes to a 3-2 victory. Jordan Staal scored the tiebreaker with 5:55 remaining after Eric had scored twice to help the Hurricanes erase a two-goal deficit and earn their fourth consecutive victory. Anton Khudobin made 22 saves. Carolina moved one point ahead of Columbus in the congested Metropolitan Division with the win. "We knew it was a big game," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "You dont want to dwell a lot on it -- let the guys figure it out." R.J. Umberger and Derek MacKenzie scored for the Blue Jackets. Columbus lost its second straight after winning eight in a row. "I dont know if we were trying to hold on or if we were playing the game to win," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "We gave up three goals in less than 3 minutes. For 57 minutes, I thought we managed it pretty well. Those three minutes, thats the game." After shutting out Carolina in the teams last meeting, reigning Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky made 32 saves for Columbus. On the game-winner, Jordan Staal rushed into the zone against defenceman Ryan Murray. After cutting to the middle of the ice, he nudged a backkhander past Bobrovsky while fighting off Murray.
