DENVER - Patrick Roy returned to the Colorado Avalanche to restore the glory years he helped forge, and hes enjoying the ride with a young team playing at a high level. Nick Holden scored two goals, Ryan OReilly had a goal and an assist and the Avalanche rallied to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-3 on Sunday night. Semyon Varlamov stopped 31 shots and Erik Johnson and Tyson Barrie also scored for the Avalanche, who have won two straight. Roy helped lead Colorado to two Stanley Cup titles in 1996 and 2001 as the goaltender with a dynamic offence in front of him. Now as the coach, hes bringing back memories of that era. "You ask me what reminds me of the Avalanche of the past, thats the type of hockey we were playing," he said. "And thats the way were playing right now." Those championship teams also featured goal-scoring defencemen, something lacking from last years squad. Colorados blue-liners had just five goals in 48 games a year ago. The Avalanche got four goals from its defence Sunday, including Johnsons first in his return from a two-game suspension for a slash on New York Islanders centre Frans Nielsen three weeks ago. "Its tough sitting out, and to be able to come back and contribute and help the team win is fun," he said. Johnson scored the go-ahead goal at 16:05 of the third when he pinched in to steal the puck and then sent a low shot past 6-foot-7 goalie Ben Bishop from along the boards. "I know (Bishop) from St. Louis, and I shot at him a lot," Johnson said. "Hes obviously a big guy and he doesnt give you a lot of room. Sometimes, big guys like that, you throw it at their feet and they dont see it." Nate Thompson had two goals, Tom Pyatt also scored and Bishop finished with 29 saves for the Lightning, who had four penalties in the last 21:28 of the game. "The penalties killed us," centre Alex Killorn said. "Six minutes where we didnt play in their zone." Holden tied it with a power-play goal at 5:12 of the third. It was Colorados sixth power-play goal in the past three games. Holden notched his second two-goal game when he scored into an empty net with 53 seconds remaining. Paul Stastny added another with 6.3 seconds left. "This is a tough one," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "Tied game with under five minutes to go. I thought we were getting points from this one. We let them slip out of our hands." Thompson has eight goals, and four of them have come in a pair of two-goal games. He got his first one Sunday when he beat Varlamov on the short side 6:40 into the second period to tie it at 2. Later in the period, he sent a wrister at Varlamov that settled in the crease, and then he skated through to knock it in at 17:37. The Lightning missed an opportunity to move into second place in the Atlantic Division and third in the Eastern Conference after Colorados late-game eruption. "I think were going through a little bit of a rough patch," Thompson said. "A couple breakdowns there at the end and they end up in the back of the net, unfortunately." Colorado stayed within three points of St. Louis in the Central Division with the win. The Blues beat Phoenix on Sunday. The game was scoreless for most of the first period despite plenty of chances. Lightning centre Vladislav Namestnikov had two of them and Colorado centre Matt Duchene was stopped on a breakaway. Tampa Bay finally cashed in when Pyatt scored at 16:49 of the first. Barrie tied it 30 seconds later with a shot between Bishops legs, and OReilly gave Colorado a 2-1 lead with his 23rd of the season 1:42 later. NOTES: Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon finished with two assists. ... Tampa Bay C Valtteri Filppula missed his fourth straight game with a non-displaced fracture in his right ankle. ... MacKinnon extended his points streak to 11 games. Its the longest streak by a rookie since Stastny had one of 20 games during the 2006-07 season. Cheap Air Max 97 Sale .

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos are content to wait for running backs Montee Ball and C.J. Anderson to heal. Coach John Fox said Saturday he doesnt plan to bring in any free agent running backs in light of Balls appendectomy or Andersons concussion. "We are always looking to improve the team. That goes on 24/7, 365, really, but right now there is nothing pressing," Fox said. "We feel pretty good about the group we have." That group includes just one back whos ever played in an NFL game, Ronnie Hillman, plus three undrafted free agents in Juwan Thompson, Brennan Clay and Kapri Bibbs and first-year pro Jerodis Williams, who played for Minnesota in last years preseason. Anderson, third on the depth chart, is being treated under the conditions of the NFLs concussion protocol after getting knocked from Denvers 21-16 win over Seattle on Thursday night. He was sent home from the Broncos complex Saturday. "He had little headaches, which is very normal at this stage," Fox said. Ball returned to the Broncos sideline five days after undergoing his appendectomy and said he was feeling good but didnt know when hed be back in full pads. Ball said he expects to begin running next week, although the Broncos dont plan on using him until the season opener Sept. 7 against Indianapolis. "We saw plenty of him a year ago and saw plenty of him in the off-season," Fox explained. Ball said he awoke at 2:30 a.m. Monday with a sharp pain in his right side. He was under the knife 12 hours later. He said hes lost six pounds, dropping to 209, but is starting to regain flexibility in his trunk. Ball called his operation a &quoot;quick, painless procedure," but said it "restricted a lot of my movement early on.dddddddddddd I feel great now. Right now Im able to move around but Ill listen to the training staff and my body and Ill come back stronger." Ball said he felt fortunate the appendicitis announced itself now, before it could burst and before the Broncos get into games that count. "Obviously, its great that it happened now than in September. Very unfortunate situation for me but right now Im looking up and feeling great and I get to do some running next week," Ball said. The Broncos are counting on Ball, who ran for 559 yards and four touchdowns last year as Knowshon Morenos backup, to help them balance out their pass-heavy offence as the starter in 2014. Ball said he has no timetable for his return to full pads, saying, "Im just listening to my body and listening to our great training staff. ... No reason to rush." He added that he appreciated all the people that visited him in the hospital, including his position coach, Eric Studesville, and Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis. Asked if Ellis brought him cards and candy, Ball said, "No, just some wise words that I needed to hear. He just said, Were praying for you, were all looking out for you if you need anything. Thats what helped me out a lot." Notes: WR Emmanuel Sanders (thigh) was held out of the morning practice. Sanders didnt practice Tuesday but started against Seattle, logging 20 snaps. ... DE Malik Jackson was excused for personal reasons. ... DE Chase Vaughn (right knee), DE Greg Latta (right hip) and CB Louis Young (groin) were held out again.
