Buffalo, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Rookie Calvin Pickard made 28 saves to backstop the Colorado Avalanche to a 5-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. Erik Johnson and Cody McLeod scored in the first period for the Avalanche, who have earned at least a point in four straight games (2-0-2). In the third period, Alex Tanguay scored twice and set up John Mitchell for a power-play goal. With every opportunity Im given, I just want to give the team a chance to win, said Pickard. Jhonas Enroth stopped 18-of-22 shots for Buffalo, which has been outscored 10-2 while dropping its last two on the heels of a four-game winning streak. Johnson joined the rush, gathered a feed from Nathan MacKinnon and fired the puck past Enroths right pad 2:23 into the game. McLeod tapped in Ryan OReillys pass through the legs of Enroth for a short- handed goal at the 7:07 mark of the first. Tanguay took a feed from Jarome Iginla and beat Enroth high on the glove side with a wrist shot at 1:51. He then dished to Mitchell, who buried a shot from the slot at 5:09. Mitchell was back in the lineup after missing seven games with a leg injury. Johan Larsson spoiled Pickards shutout bid with his first NHL goal at 13:27. Larsson was recalled from Rochester of the American Hockey League to replace Matt Moulson, who was a late scratch because of an illness. Called (Larsson) up at 10 to five. So he had to rush here. Under those circumstances, he played well, plus he scored his first (NHL) goal, said Sabres coach Ted Nolan. Tanguay scored into an empty net with 26 seconds remaining.

The event will close Saturday with better-ball play.Graeme McDowell and Gary Woodland were second after a 63.Defending champions Matt Kuchar and Harris English were third at 21-under after a 66.Day was quite aware of how Kuchar and English did it in 2013.These guys played well last year, 34 under is a big margin, Day said. So this is the format that you need to play well. You need to play this format because its very quick to lose your lead.That almost happened.Charles Howell III and Scott Verplank were 19 under after a 64. The teams if Keegan Bradley-Camilo Villegas (67), Billy Horschel-Ian Poulter (65) and Patrick Reed-Brandt Snedeker (65) were 18 under.Snedeker, who shot a 10-under 62 in the alternate shot format with Davis Love III in 2012, had it going with Reed early. After a birdie on No. 10, they were 6 under for the day, 17 under for the tournament and one shot behind.While they cooled, Day and Tringale took off and quickly built the lead back to five shots. They had an eagle on No. 6 and birdies on Nos. 3 and 8-10.Tringale said he didnt see a scoreboard until No. 10 but doesnt really watch them, aanyway.dddddddddddd. Day said hes just the opposite.I think if there were more boards out there, I would probably be watching because I tend to watch a lot more scoreboards than Cameron, Day said. I like to know what I need to do. That may add some pressure.Day thinks players will scale back on their aggressiveness off the tee today in a chance to catch up.I would expect a lot of guys, even if your partner is in play, because its always better to have two balls in play than just one, he said. I would rather have two opportunities at birdies than just one. McDowell said teams more than five or six shots behind the leaders will have a hard time catching up so he and Woodland are glad where they are.Two balls in play, you know, it means no one can hide, he said. That was kind of why I really feel like myself and Gary have a good shot tomorrow because were both really playing well tee to green.Woodland added their score couldve been much better but they missed on four or five putts inside 10 feet that were straight up the hill. Their highlight was McDowell using his 58-degree wedge to hole out from 48 yards on No. 13.Kuchar and English finished strong by going 4 under in the back nine. However, theyd have to go 13 under to match last years record mark.Reeds wife, Justine, watched some of the action as she recovers from a grand mal seizure Tuesday. The two shared a hug and kiss during the round.The doctor said everything was all clear so it was great to see her out here, it was awesome, taking a big weight off my shoulders, Reed said. ' ' '
