Tyson Barrie scores 2nd goal of game in overtime to give Avalanche 3-2 win over Blackhawks



Barrie and Ryan O'Reilly scored 1:02 apart late in the first period for Colorado. O'Reilly has three goals in his last two games.

Chicago's Andrew Shaw scored at 7:27 of the third to tie it. He also assisted on Johnny Oduya's goal in the second.



The defending Stanley Cup champions are 4-11 this season in games that go longer than 60 minutes. They are 0-5 in overtime and 4-6 in shootouts.

Colorado defenseman Erik Johnson left late in the second period with a lower-body injury. He tried to return for a shift in the third, but didn't continue.

Colorado led 2-0 after the first period, despite being outplayed until about 14 minutes in when the Blackhawks held a 12-3 advantage in shots.

But Barrie opened the scoring on a soft screened shot from just inside the right point with 5:02 left in the first. He flipped the puck past several players, and then it sailed over Crawford's glove.

O'Reilly made it 2-0 with a power-play goal on a crisp passing play 1:02 later and just 10 seconds after Kris Versteeg was sent off for hooking. O'Reilly slipped the puck past Crawford after a wide-open setup at the edge of the crease.

The Blackhawks pushed back and turned up the pressure in the second, outshooting Colorado 10-1 in the first half of the period and 16-6 overall. But Chicago only managed to cut Colorado's lead to 2-1, cashing in on Oduya's deflection of Brandon Saad's screened shot from the slot.

Shaw tied it on a rebound. He swept in a shot from 10 feet out after Varlamov stopped Saad from point-blank range.

Chicago's Michal Rozsival hit the right post with a shot with about 7:30 left. Crawford made a point-blank stop on a wide-open Cody McLeod with just more than 3 minutes left.

Toews tripped Andre Benoit at 3:34 of overtime following a Chicago turnover to prevent a possible breakaway, but the ensuing power play led to Barrie's game-winner.

NOTES: Oduya, a defenseman, had gone 23 games without a goal and 10 without a point. . Colorado C Paul Stastny missed the game with a leg injury sustained Saturday at Minnesota and is day to day. ... Avalanche G Jean-Sebastien Giguere sat out with back spasms, so Sami Aittokallio was recalled from Lake Erie of the AHL to back up Varlamov. Colorado D Cory Sarich also was scratched.
