BOSTON -- The Colorado Avalanche jumped ahead early and got yet another win in Boston -- this time to end a recent skid.Matt Duchene scored his 10th goal and John Mitchell got his first, lifting the Avalanche over the Boston Bruins 4-2 on Thursday night.The Avs had lost four straight and five of six, but again came out winners in Boston, where theyve won 10 times in their last 11 visits.We were off to a good start in the first period. We got a couple quick ones and we rode that, said Nathan MacKinnon, whose short-handed goal 12:57 into the game put Colorado up 2-0.The last time the Avs lost a game in Boston was March 30, 1998, when MacKinnon was just 2 years old.I had no idea. I know weve been hot here my first three years, MacKinnon said. Thats cool.Matt Duchene, John Mitchell and Carl Soderberg also scored for the Avs. Duchenes goal 5:30 into the game was the first of three unassisted tallies for Colorado, which shut down Boston in the third period after David Pastrnak scored twice in the second to pull the Bruins within 3-2.The Avs hadnt won since beating Columbus 3-2 in overtime on Nov. 21.We found a way to score first, which was nice, Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. We havent done that much lately, especially on this losing streak.Boston, coming off an overtime loss the night before at Washington, ended a streak of six straight games with a point. The Bruins are 4-1-2 in their last seven.Anton Khudobin had 18 saves for Boston, which fell behind 3-0 for the second straight night. The Bruins rallied Wednesday with three unanswered goals to force overtime before the Capitals won it 4-3. The Bruins didnt seem to have the energy for another comeback Thursday, getting just eight shots on goal in the third period.Until you can find your legs, youve got to be smart, and we werent, Boston coach Claude Julien said. We gave up some soft goals and certainly dug ourselves a hole.Pastrnaks goals 1:20 apart in the second period briefly revived Boston, but the Bruins didnt score again despite outshooting Colorado 31-22 for the game.Calvin Pickard made 29 saves for the Avs.I think the second period we could have tidied it up a little bit. We lost some momentum, Duchene said. I think there is still lots of room for improvement but a start like that -- you get out to a 3-0 lead -- its pretty tough to blow that. Youve got to really play poorly and we played really solid in the third and especially in the first.Colorado led 2-0 after the first, then Mitchell made it 3-0 after forcing a turnover at the Colorado blue line and taking it the other way for a wrist shot that beat Khudobin on the stick side.It was only the 11th shot of the game for the Avalanche, who took an early lead on Duchenes 10th goal of the season and went up 2-0 when MacKinnon scored at 12:57.Pastrnak got Boston on the board with a breakaway goal just after getting out of the penalty box, then struck again on a slap shot from above the circles, the 18th goal of the season for Bostons 20-year old rising star.Game notes Avs RW Jarome Iginla played in his 1,499th career game, tying Mike Modano for 16th on the NHL career list. ...

Former WCW and WWE star Bill Goldberg admits hes considering a return to professional wrestling.Goldberg, 49, was a guest of Jonathan Coachman on Wednesdays Off The Top Rope to promote his involvement with the WWE 2K17 video game, and was asked about the possibility of an in-ring return.Im going to do a lot of soul-searching, and Im going to talk to my family to figure out what Goldberg wants to do, he said. At the end of the day, Im greatly appreciative of all the fans that I was able to acquire over the years. I dont want to bastardize anything I did, lets just put it bluntly. So its a big decision.Goldbergs appearance in the video game marked a reunion of sorts between himself and WWE for the first time since his 2004 retirement, and the reunion fueled rumors of a comeback. But Goldberg was quick to point out his age as a possible deterrent.Im an old man here. Im 49 years old, Goldberg said. A guy like Ric Flair at 49 could go out and do his character. A guy 49 going out and doing Goldberg again -- I dont know what the odds are.Goldberg, an actor and former NFL player, said he would need until the end of the year to decide, but said if anyone can do it, it would be me. He also talked about his motivation for considering a return.I have a 10-year-old boy. I got a wife who has never seen me wrestle, and I got a generation of kids who dont know who the hell I am except for looking online, Goldberg said. The biggest thing about being a wrestler, and being Goldberg gave me, was the ability to be a superhero for kids.I want the ability to be that guy again. Butt theres a compromise here.ddddddddddddTo be that guy at 49 years old, do you risk losing your legacy? Is it something that I am going to regret?Goldberg came to fame in pro wrestling in the late 1990s with WCW, running up a mythical 173-0 unbeaten streak. He went on to work in WWE in 2003 but left after one year, citing his own immaturity as part of the problem. He admits his relationship with the company has been tumultuous ever since.I havent had a word with Vince McMahon since Ive left the business, Goldberg said. He has done his thing very successfully, and I like to think that I have gone on my way and been fairly successful about my business. At the end of the day, Im sure that he and I will speak sometime soon. I owe him a thankful handshake for giving me the ability to do this.If Goldberg decides to return, the one name that tops his list of preferred opponents is Brock Lesnar, whom Goldberg defeated at WrestleMania XX in his final WWE match.I would be remiss in saying I dont owe Brock Lesnar a rematch, Goldberg said. I was able to prosper and have my hand raised at the first meeting, and I think if I ever came back, thatd be the match. I would have to work my ass off to get ready for him, but you never say never. Ive said it for 12 years.Brocks a different human being. Matter of fact, hes probably not even a human being. Hes like a superhero alien guy -- big, strong, fast and mean. But I dont know, man, I beat him once. ' ' '
