DALLAS -- Paul Stastny made the most of the help in front of him to carry the Colorado Avalanche to victory in overtime. Stastnys second goal of the game 3:36 into the extra session gave the Avalanche and troubled goalie Semyon Varlamov a 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars on Friday night. Stastny fired a shot from the left circle past goalie Kari Lehtonen to beat the Stars, who had rallied from a 2-0 deficit. The goal was his fourth of the season. "I tried to shoot through the D," Stastny said. "You dont score on these goalies unless youre flying, you make a perfect shot, or you use a screen. I tried to use a screen." It worked and even impressed Avalanche coach Patrick Roy, a Hall of Fame goalie in his playing days. "I think Lehtonen had no chance on that one," Roy said. "It was a perfect shot right over his shoulder." Dallas had scored twice in the third period against Varlamov, who two days earlier spent the night in jail because of an alleged assault against his girlfriend. A judge in Denver had ruled Thursday that Varlamov could travel with the team to Dallas. He posted a $5,000 bond, and now has a restraining order that prevents him from seeing his girlfriend. "Theres been a lot going on with him, with the team in the last 24-48 hours," Stastny said. "Sometimes the best thing is to just get in your comfort zone. "When hes on the ice, when hes in net, hes focused on what he does." Varlamov declined to comment on his legal issues. "I think I am the luckiest guy in the world because I play in the NHL and I play for this team," Varlamov said. "Ive got such good teammates, so I dont think about whats happening." Stastny had made it 1-0 at 8:22 of the first period. Gabriel Landeskog doubled Colorados lead with 1:19 left in the second. It was more than just the start that went badly for the Stars. "Were playing the game too slow," coach Lindy Ruff said. "Our transition is too slow. Weve got to quicken things up. "The third period was where we got some good stuff." The Stars, who recorded just 12 shots in the first two periods, began their comeback with Alex Goligoskis goal at 3:57 of the third. Tyler Seguin tied it at 16:31. Dallas (5-6-2) had scored just three third-period goals in its first 12 games, and hadnt rallied in the final frame to win any of them. The Stars outshot the Avalanche 16-8 in the third period on Friday. Colorado (11-1) took a 1-0 lead just 8:22 into the game. Stastny put the puck in from just to the right of the net off assists from Alex Tanguay and Jan Hejda. That goal came barely 2 minutes after Dallas turned aside the Avalanches 5-on-3 power play. Despite recording the final three shots of the period, the Stars were outshot 13-4. Dallas kept pressure on Varlamov early in the second, especially during a power play midway through the period. His toughest stop was on a close-in attempt by Alex Chiasson. Colorado had the best second-period scoring chances with near breakaways by P.A. Parenteau and Ryan OReilly on a power play. "He gave us great saves," Ruff said of Lehtonen. "I thought both goaltenders came up with big saves." The Avalanche finally broke through late when Nathan MacKinnon took the puck away in the neutral zone and passed it behind him to Landeskog. The Avalanche captain fired a shot from the left circle across Lehtonens body and past his glove for his fourth goal. The Stars outshot Colorado 8-5 in the period but had nothing to show for the effort but a 2-0 deficit. "Lehtonen was outstanding," Roy said. "I think the reason why they picked up a point is because of him. He kept them in the game long enough for them to come back in the third because it could have been a 3-, 4-, 5-0 game." The Stars fared better in the third. Seguin skated through the left circle, turned and passed back to Goligoski at the top of the circle. The defenceman drilled a shot into the top of the net for his second goal. Seguins tying goal came on a blast from the top of the slot after Dallas had recovered the puck in the neutral zone. The 25-year-old Varlamov improved to 8-1 for the Central Division-leading Avalanche. "He made some great saves, and the two goals that we gave up, they were perfect shots," Roy said.

It certainly isnt a coincidence that Dwight Howard has scored at least 20 points in each game of the winning streak.TORONTO - Michael Bradley is scheduled for surgery Tuesday and fellow Toronto FC star Jermain Defoe may have to follow.Both are back in their home country for medical attention and will miss the MLS clubs end-of-season player availability Tuesday.Toronto general manager Tim Bezbatchenko said Defoe left for England on Sunday in order to meet a German specialist about his nagging groin injury. If surgery is required, the decision will be made over the next couple of days in consultation with the club.Bezbatchenko said there was a time element in that the specialist was only in London for a specific period of time.He needed to get over and get on that persons schedule, which required him to leave, he said in an interview.Bradley, meanwhile, is in New York for a procedure to correct a season-long nerve issue with his foot. The 27-year-old U.S. international has played through pain this season.They want to do it as soon as they possibly can so they can get back on the pitch, Bezbatchenko said of Bradley and Defoe.While Torontos season is over, the players continue to train in town this week with exit meetings planned for the end of the week and early next week.Bradley is expected back by then. Bezbatchenko said the conversation with Defoe will either take place in person or via phone.This happened last year with a couple (of) players, he said. Sometimes you have to have a phone conversation because thats just life.Toronto turned down a club-record bid for the English striker at the end of the summer transfer window, leading to speculation that he might leave when the next window opens in January.At this point, hes still a TFC player, said Bezbatchenko. We need to first get over his injury, then well sit down and talk to the player and figure out what his desires and goals are and see if they match with our club.Obviously wee only want players that want to be here.ddddddddddddJermains never said he hasnt wanted to be here. So until that happens, Jermain is here and we want him to be here. Because hes proven to be a prolific scorer in this league and after you have one year under your belt, weve seen other players come back and do even more damage in the second year. Until otherwise, thats going to be our plan.The first public clue that Defoe was back home came via Twitter from a mobile hair extensionist in England.Look who I bumped into @IAmJermainDefoe at my local tesco, tweeted @ExtensionsLeona in posting a photo of a smiling Defoe posing outside her car window at a supermarket.Defoe also returned home in the summer for medical treatment.Defoe, 32, led Toronto with 11 goals in 19 games and TFC never lost (6-0-2) a game in which he scored. But he did not score in the last half of the season, missing 11 of 17 outings through injury and one through suspension.Defoe saw just 360 minutes playing time spread over six games during the second half of the season.Speaking to Toronto reporters last Thursday, he complained of being unable to turn sharply or shoot properly because of the groin injury.Its something that I need fixing, because its stopping me from what I really want to do in games, he said.Defoe also was upset that some have questioned both his commitment to the club and whether he is really injured.He repeated he has never said publicly that he wants to leave a club. But he has stopped short of saying he will be back in Toronto next season.At the end of the day, I dont know what the future holds, he said. But what I would say is that I was desperate to get into the playoffs. Its something I would love to experience.Toronto (11-15-8) missed the post-season for the eighth straight year.
