BOSTON - The Colorado Avalanche havent showed much scoring prowess so far.That didnt matter after Daniel Briere beat the clock for their first win of the season.Briere scored off a rebound with less than a second left in the third period to lift the Avalanche to a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Monday in a matchup of two teams struggling offensively.Hopefully there are many more to come, but its certainly a good feeling to find a loose puck like that late in the game and get a big win especially after the start that we had, Briere said. Its been a little bit of a roller coaster to start the season, but we are hoping this game will get us on our way.It was Brieres 300th career goal.Jamie McGinn also scored for the Avalanche, who had opened the season with two shutout losses. Backup goaltender Reto Berra made 27 saves in his first start of the season.The game appeared to be heading to overtime when Boston goaltender Niklas Svedberg made a pair of stops in the closing minute.Briere, at the edge of the crease, fired the puck over the sprawling goalie just before time expired after Jan Hejdas shot from the point. The clock read 0.0, but replays showed the puck crossed the goal line before time expired.Loui Eriksson had a power-play goal for the Bruins, who have scored just two goals during a three-game losing streak.Backup Svedberg played his first game of the season and made 28 saves.I dont think weve given up a ton of scoring chances, but when we do it ends up in the back of the net, Boston coach Claude Julien said. On the last goal theres not much time left and you cant lose track of the guy behind you.Svedberg knew time was winding down before the winner.Yeah there was some traffic there and (I) cant really remember exactly what happened, Svedberg said. I gotta see it again. It was a scrambley goal for sure. Tough loss.Colorado had what would have been the go-ahead goal overturned with just under 13 minutes to play when Dennis Everbergs score was ruled to be deflected with a high stick. The puck was tipped downward in front of Svedberg and caromed into the net off Everbergs left skate.The Avalanche just kept working, trying to get another goal.We chose to go out and keep playing hard, grind them down and it came down to the very last shot, Colorado defenceman Erik Johnson said.Berra slid across the crease and made a stellar stop on Milan Lucic with just over 8 minutes to play.The Avalanche jumped ahead 1-0 on McGinns goal 3:28 into the second period. In what looked like a fairly routine shot, McGinn circled from the right corner and fired the puck on goal from the circle and it trickled between Svedbergs pads. Colorado had gone scoreless for 143 minutes, 37 seconds to start the season.Boston tied it on Erikssons goal when he scored off a rebound from the edge of the crease at 7:50 of the second. It ended the Bruins scoring drought at 135 minutes, 48 seconds.With the teams struggling offensively, both came out fast.The play was up and down for the initial 9 1/2 minutes with each team collecting decent scoring bids. Boston had a slight edge in shots on goal 8-6 and both backup goaltenders added to the scoring chances by leaving a few early rebounds in the middle of the ice.Berra made a pair of nice stops in the opening minutes, robbing Patrice Bergeron on a close bid and making a right-pad stop on Eriksson at the end of a 2-on-1 break.Svedberg stopped Briere when he barely got his skate blade on a rebound shot from the edge of the crease.After the wide-open start, the teams tightened up defensively and settled into more balanced games.NOTES: Bruins C David Krejci returned to the lineup after missing the first three games with an undisclosed injury. ...

DETROIT -- Mike Babcock insisted being a lame-duck coach next season for the Detroit Red Wings would not be a problem for him. Babcock has one year left on his contract, and told reporters on Tuesday that getting a new deal this off-season is not a priority. "When youre at the stage of my career that I am, Im real comfortable with whatever they want," he said. "I want them to be happy. If theyre not happy, then Im not happy. "I can go year to year." Babcock finished his ninth season as Detroits coach on Saturday at Boston, where the Bruins eliminated the Red Wings in Game 5 of their first-round series. He has won a franchise-record 415 games, a Stanley Cup and a pair of conference championships. He led Canada to a second straight Olympic gold medal earlier this year. "If you put down a list of the best coaches in the National Hockey League, hes on that short list," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said. Holland said he has not begun talking to Babcock about negotiating a long-term deal. The Red Wings have Holland under contract for one more year with a team option for another year, and he is "assuming" to have talks with ownership about his future with the franchise this summer. Detroits decision-makers will also have some other topics to ponder, heading into the NHL draft in June and free agency in July. Daniel Alfredsson might be the only unrestricted free agent the team wants to re-sign. TThe 41-year-old forward chose to chase a Stanley Cup with a one-year deal after spending his entire career with the Ottawa Senators.dddddddddddd Alfredsson, though, is not sure if he wants to return or retire. "Its going to be at least a few weeks," he said. "You need time to get away from it. Ill talk to Kenny and Babcock later this week. Both sides want to know what the other side is thinking." Unrestricted free agents David Legwand, Dan Cleary, Mikael Samuelsson, Jonas Gustavsson, Kyle Quincey and Todd Bertuzzi may have to continue their careers elsewhere. The 39-year-old Bertuzzi said he definitely does not want to retire if Detroit decides to let him hit the market. "Id like to keep playing," he said. "I still feel like I can contribute." The Red Wings are counting on their two stars, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk, to contribute more than they did during injury-shortened seasons. Zetterberg expects to return 100-per cent healthy after having back surgery two months ago. Datsyuk said he will soon find out if he needs to have surgery on his left knee. "A healthy Pav and Z makes everyone else score more," Babcock said. "Z came back for two games (in the playoffs) and suddenly we have a power play. We didnt have a power play till that. To me those are the guys capable if healthy that can make everyone else around them better." ' ' '
