DENVER -- Jordan Martinook knew the best way to keep a struggling team down was to pounce quickly.Martinook certainly worked fast on Tuesday night, scoring 28 seconds into the first period and 11 seconds into the third to help the Coyotes beat the slumping Colorado Avalanche 4-2.It definitely deflates them a little bit and gives us a boost to start those two periods, Martinook said. Whenever you can score two its pretty nice, especially in the NHL.Max Domi had a goal and two assists and Anthony DeAngelo added another goal in his NHL debut for the Coyotes, who improved to 2-6 on the road. Radim Vrbata had two assists and Louis Domingue stopped 25 shots.Arizona won for the third time in four games after opening the season 2-6.This is a good young group of guys and we have a good mix of older guys, too, said DeAngelo, recalled Monday from the American Hockey League. Its just a matter of time until it turns around a little bit, so hopefully right now thats the way its trending.Also trending: Colorados struggles.Rene Bourque and Nathan MacKinnon scored in the first 6:09 of the second for the Avalanche, who lost for the fourth time in five games. Calvin Pickard started in place of struggling goalie Semyon Varlamov and made 21 saves while dropping to 3-1 this season.Colorado has scored just four times in its last four games.Right now when were making mistakes, teams are capitalizing on them, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. You hope that your team starts to understand the mistakes that were making, and then you get a little better at it and you can show more positive than negative.The Coyotes took the lead for good on goals by DeAngelo and Domi in a 71-second span late in the second period.Anthony Duclair handed the puck to Domi, who circled around the net and fed DeAngelo for the tying goal with 3:45 left in the period. Domi scored on a chance that deflected off Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson and fluttered into the net.Martinook added to the lead with a power-play goal in the third.I have to be better for my team, Pickard said. I put my team behind the 8-ball quick, 30 seconds in.Arizona lost to Colorado 3-2 on Oct. 29.REMEMBERING MAREKBefore the game, the Avalanche held a moment of silence followed by a video tribute for former player Marek Svatos, who died Saturday at his Lone Tree home at age 34.Svatos played for Colorado from 2003-10 before ending his NHL career with the Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators in 2010-11.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The more the Chicago Bears think theyve found answers to their struggles, the more their losses and frustration build.After starting 1-5 for the first time since 2004, the Bears are heading to Green Bay for a Thursday night game with their biggest disappointment still fresh in their memories -- Sundays blown fourth-quarter lead in a 17-16 loss to Jacksonville.I dont know what it is, but I know that there are spurts where we play well enough to win, and there are spurts where it looks like we dont know what the hell were doing, guard Kyle Long said.Theyve done a lot right, but two losses in three winnable games leaves them looking for ways to keep from packing it in early.We know that we can compete against any team, linebacker Willie Young said. Its never a case where we havent had an opportunity to win.Its just closing it out.Quarterback Brian Hoyer has a franchise-record four straight 300-yard passing games, and on Sunday he started to find receiver Alshon Jeffery with more regularity.Jeffery had 93 yards on seven catches, while Cameron Meredith had his second straight 100-yard receiving day.The defense stopped Jacksonville on third down eight out of 10 times and forced two turnovers. Yet they saw a 13-0 lead after three quarters disintegrate.I think our guys can see how close we are, coach John Fox said Monday. Yesterday was no different than the week before against Indy.The Bears lost that one in the final four minutes.I mean, we gave away a couple plays, but all in all were getting better every week and its showing out there, linebacker Danny Trevathan said.Turnovers, execution -- but its just a couple plays here and there that we have to minimize.The Bears defense is hopiing to get a major asset back this week.ddddddddddddLinebacker Pernell McPhee on Friday became eligible to be considered for activation to the 53-man roster from the physically unable to perform list.McPhee has been recovering from offseason knee surgery.If McPhee is deemed able to play against the Packers, it will be on only two practices since there was no practice held Monday.Hell do some stuff with the training staff and some of the coaching staff, and well just have to get a feel, and make a decision before Thursday, Fox said.The Bears will closely watch several other defensive injuries, including starting cornerbacks Tracy Porter (knee) and Bryce Callahan (hamstring).In addition, guard Josh Sitton was hoping to face his former team after being signed off waivers by the Bears just before the start of the regular season.But Sitton, who already had a shoulder injury, suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter against Jacksonville and Fox said he wouldnt have practiced Monday if a practice had been held.Quarterback Jay Cutler (thumb sprain) remains sidelined, as well, but with Hoyer having gone 189 throws without an interception, the Bears have avoided pushing their starter into returning too soon.The Bears havent started 1-6 since 2000.Fox is doing what he can to keep morale high, including citing recent NFL history.You know, a team a year ago, the Kansas City Chiefs, started 1-5 and they made the playoffs, Fox said. So all of those things are possible but if you lay down your sword, not so much.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
