COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Matt Duchene came back just in time for the Colorado Avalanche.Sidelined since Nov. 11 with a concussion, Duchene scored his first goal of the season 1:49 into overtime in his first game back, helping Colorado beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Monday night.The victory improved Colorados record to 9-9-0, while Columbus, which had won four straight, fell to 10-5-2.Thats what elite players do, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. They make plays and seize the moment when the time is right. Thats what (Duchene) did for us tonight.Colorado, playing the final game of a three-game trip, led 2-1 before Columbus Cam Atkinson tied it with 6.5 seconds left in regulation, assisted by Sam Gagne and Zach Werenski.It was Atkinsons second goal of the night and seventh of the season. His first came at 9:00 of the first period.I thought (Cam) gave us some good minutes, and scored some big goals, Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. Im always looking down the bench in all situations for him. I think he can play in them all. Hes going to get those opportunities, because he usually comes through.Tyson Barrie got Colorado on the board at 3:05 of the second period with his first goal of the season. The Avalanche then went up 2-1 with Erik Johnsons sniped shot from the left side at 9:00 of the second period.Johnson also assisted on Duchenes winner, which resulted from a 2-on-1 rush.In 3-on-3 there are lots of chances for odd-man (rushes), Johnson said. I tried to put it on (Duchenes) blade. When you have good players like that, and they are open, you just have to put it near their stick and they will find a way to put it in.Semyon Varlamov stopped 40 of 42 shots, while Curtis McElhinney, starting in relief of Sergei Bobrovsky, stopped 24 attempts.Although the loss snapped the Blue Jackets seven-game home winning streak, Tortorella said he was encouraged how his team kept fighting.Im pleased the way we kept coming and grabbed a point, he said. It was a game that you need to try to find a way to win if you want to get somewhere in April. Thats a huge point for us. Wish we got the second, (but) I dont have a lot of complaints.Game notes The game proved a homecoming for former Blue Jacket Fedor Tyutin, who played 553 games for Columbus over eight seasons before signing with Colorado last summer.

Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. The lead-up to Game 1 of the World Series brought not one surprise, but two. Yes, it was absolutely astonishing to see Kyle Schwarber back in the Cubs starting lineup. But it was no less astonishing to see Chris Coghlan in the outfield, with Jason Heyward on the bench. Thats the $184 million Jason Heyward, sitting out against a righty in an AL ballpark. Thats a decision the Cubs wouldnt have made lightly.Heyward was there, and he was occasionally shown, wearing layers and a knit cap. He didnt get a chance to do much. He didnt get a chance to do much in Game 2 either, as Jorge Soler started in right field. Heyward did replace Soler on the basepaths in the fifth innning and get two at-bats, so maybe hell draw back in for Game 3.ddddddddddddBut a message has already been sent, and its a simple one: The Cubs dont trust Jason Heyward. Its easy to argue whether Coghlan was the right play, because he also?had a letdown season, and Soler didnt exactly light up the North Side either. But the point is, something led Joe Maddon to the reserves instead of to the regular. And it stands to reason the Cubs think through all the decisions they make when the stakes are so high. Heyward is 27, and hes in trouble.
