SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan refused to dwell on any negatives that came out of a wild finish. Joe Pavelski scored with just under 20 seconds left in regulation to tie the game and Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau tallied in the shootout, lifting the San Jose Sharks to a 5-4 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night. "Pav has been a real clutch player over the past two weeks for us, hes kind of the go-to guy right now, he seems to be getting it done," McLelland said. "He did it again tonight for us. Were happy for him and for us." Erik Johnson and Jamie McGinn scored goals 12 seconds apart in the final two minutes to put the Avalanche ahead. Asked about Niemi giving up the two quick goals, McLellan responded, "You know what, its Christmas. Lets all go home and enjoy it, and Ill answer those questions when we come back." Johnsons extra-man goal slipped under the left shoulder of Sharks goalie Antti Niemi to knot things, and McGinns goal also came with an extra skater as he beat Niemi to the stick side. "It was a high to tie it, a high to go ahead and then a crashing low when they tied it," Johnson said. "It was a strange game probably from the perspective of both teams. A very strange game at the end." Pavelski tied it after taking a pass from Joe Thornton, who has an 11-game point streak against the Avalanche. Matt Irwin scored a power-play goal late in the second period to put the Sharks ahead 3-2 and set up the wild finish. "We all knew we had about a minute and whatever left to get the tying goal," Irwin said. "The leadership group did a great job. They got out there and they capitalized. Joe made a great play to Joe. Thats what those guys do." Jason Demers and Brent Burns also scored for the Sharks, who have won four of six. "It was a crazy ending," Burns said. "Im sure coaches dont like seeing that too often. I think we get angry a little bit, but as a group I think were pretty confident and it was just a matter of who was going to step up and get that next goal." Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog also scored for the Avalanche, who lost for the third time in four games. Niemi made 29 saves to record his 19th victory and improve to 7-1-3 against Colorado. Semyon Varlamov stopped 41 shots to lose for the fourth time in eight games against the Sharks. "Its too bad, but at the same time we showed a lot of character," Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. "We played well in the third period. We scored two big goals and then they made a great play to tie it." In the first of four meetings between the teams, two fights in the first nine minutes set the stage for a physical game. MacKinnons power-play goal midway through the first period gave the Avalanche the early lead. Ryan OReillys pass set up MacKinnons goal, a shot that beat Niemi to the glove side. Demers scored his second goal in two games, beating Varlamov over the right shoulder and tying the game at 1-1 with six minutes left in the first period. Landeskog scored his first goal in 11 games in the final minute to put Colorado ahead 2-1 after one period. Burns scored after taking a drop pass from Thornton six minutes into the second period to make it 2-2.

Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers (5) - Simply put, Lundqvist was brilliant.WARSAW, Poland - Poland defeated World Cup champion Germany 2-0 in their European Championship qualifier on Saturday for its first win over its neighbour at the 19th attempt.Arkadiusz Milik scored with Polands first shot on target in the 51st minute, heading Lukasz Piszczeks floated cross to the empty net after Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer missed it.Robert Lewandowski set up Sebastian Mila to score inside the far post in the 88th.Were delighted to have beaten Germany for the first time. You can see how much it means to people, said Piszczek, who plays club football for German side Borussia Dortmund.We had a little bit of luck, thats why we won. We took our chances. We had two or three, and we scored two goals. Germany had a lot of chances and they didnt take them.The Polish-born Lukas Podolski came closest for Germany, but struck the crossbar in the 80th, three minutes after coming on a substitute, and there was still time for Mario Goetze to blaze over and Toni Kroos to shoot narrowly over from a free kick, albeit after Mila sealed the result.I cant fault the team, but perhaps we should have made more of our chances, Germany coach Joachim Loew said.Poland handed Germany its first defeat after 18 competitive games, and its first loss in qualifying after 33 matches since a 3-0 loss at home to the Czech Republic in October 2007.Earlier, Robbie Keane scored a hat trick in a 13-minute span to help Group D rival Ireland to a 7-0 rout of Gibraltar in Dublin, and Scotland scraped a 1-0 wiin over Georgia in Glasgow thanks to Akaki Khubutias first-half own goal.ddddddddddddAfter two games, Poland and Ireland lead the group with maximum points, with Germany and Scotland behind on three. Germany hosts Ireland in Gelsenkirchen on Tuesday, while Poland plays Scotland in Warsaw.Loew surprised many by handing Karim Bellarabi his debut, and the Bayer Leverkusen winger was Germanys best attacking threat in a first half of limited chances.Polands committed start prevented the visitors from settling into the game. The best chances came before halftime as Germany found a groove. Bellarabi went close, Thomas Mueller was forced wide, Bellarabi forced a save from Wojciech Szczesny, and Mats Hummels fired over.I dont think we played a bad game. We created a lot of chances, Neuer said.The second half started slowly, until Milik capitalized on Neuers misjudgment to bring the game to life.I was too late but of course I wanted to get the ball, Neuer said. It was my mistake. But if Id stayed on the line I wouldnt have got the ball either.Goetze and Andre Schuerrle, twice, sought a response but found Szczesny equal to their efforts. Eric Durm failed to trouble the Poland goalkeeper after Mueller set him up, and was at fault for the second goal when Lewandowski got behind him and set up Milas clincher.He was perhaps badly positioned, acknowledged Loew, who said his side would seek to make amends against Ireland.After a loss you always need to show a good reaction, Loew said.
