DENVER -- Jordan Martinook knew the best way to keep a struggling team down was to pounce quickly.Martinook certainly worked fast on Tuesday night, scoring 28 seconds into the first period and 11 seconds into the third to help the Coyotes beat the slumping Colorado Avalanche 4-2.It definitely deflates them a little bit and gives us a boost to start those two periods, Martinook said. Whenever you can score two its pretty nice, especially in the NHL.Max Domi had a goal and two assists and Anthony DeAngelo added another goal in his NHL debut for the Coyotes, who improved to 2-6 on the road. Radim Vrbata had two assists and Louis Domingue stopped 25 shots.Arizona won for the third time in four games after opening the season 2-6.This is a good young group of guys and we have a good mix of older guys, too, said DeAngelo, recalled Monday from the American Hockey League. Its just a matter of time until it turns around a little bit, so hopefully right now thats the way its trending.Also trending: Colorados struggles.Rene Bourque and Nathan MacKinnon scored in the first 6:09 of the second for the Avalanche, who lost for the fourth time in five games. Calvin Pickard started in place of struggling goalie Semyon Varlamov and made 21 saves while dropping to 3-1 this season.Colorado has scored just four times in its last four games.Right now when were making mistakes, teams are capitalizing on them, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. You hope that your team starts to understand the mistakes that were making, and then you get a little better at it and you can show more positive than negative.The Coyotes took the lead for good on goals by DeAngelo and Domi in a 71-second span late in the second period.Anthony Duclair handed the puck to Domi, who circled around the net and fed DeAngelo for the tying goal with 3:45 left in the period. Domi scored on a chance that deflected off Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson and fluttered into the net.Martinook added to the lead with a power-play goal in the third.I have to be better for my team, Pickard said. I put my team behind the 8-ball quick, 30 seconds in.Arizona lost to Colorado 3-2 on Oct. 29.REMEMBERING MAREKBefore the game, the Avalanche held a moment of silence followed by a video tribute for former player Marek Svatos, who died Saturday at his Lone Tree home at age 34.Svatos played for Colorado from 2003-10 before ending his NHL career with the Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators in 2010-11.

Ohio State and Michigan at the top of the Big Ten East is no surprise at the halfway point of the season, but who would have imagined defending conference champion and 2015 College Football Playoff participant Michigan State having only two wins?Nebraska leads the West, though its schedule gets significantly tougher after this week, and defending division champ Iowa is a half-game behind and regaining its traction after losing at home to North Dakota State and Northwestern.Heres an overview of whats happened so far in the Big Ten:BIGGEST SURPRISEIndiana is only 3-3, but the Hoosiers are much improved . Theyve started to play good defense, finally, and thats largely because of Kevin Wilson hiring of coordinator Tom Allen. Allens aggressive 4-2-5 defense allowed Indiana to beat Michigan State, play Ohio State close into the fourth quarter and give Nebraska a scare. The Hoosiers are kicking themselves for losing to Wake Forest at home, but they likely to make a bowl for the second straight year.BIGGEST BUSTMichigan State is a mess. The Spartans cant decide on a quarterback, rank last in the Big Ten in rushing, miss tackles at an alarming rate and dont seem to have their signature toughness. Last week Northwestern scored 54 points , the most points allowed by an MSU team since 2003. The Spartans must win four of their last six just to be eligible for a bowl, and they still have to play Michigan and Ohio State.BEST TURNAROUNDNebraska is 6-0, ranked in the top 10 for the first time since 2011 and alone in first place in the West. A year ago at this time the Cornhuskers were 2-4 and on their way to a 6-7 season. The close losses in 2015 are close wins this year , and theyre playing with the confidence that comes with having a greater understanding and comfort in the offensive and defensive systems under second-year coach Mike Riley.BEST IN-SEASON TURNAROUNDNorthwestern, which won 10 games last year and had high hopes, was 0-2 after losing at home to FCS Illinois State. The Wildcats have cranked up their offense the last couple games, and theyre only a game behind Nebraska in the West.TOP ALL-AROUND PLAYERMichigans electrifying Jabrill Peppers , listed on the roster as a linebacker, has lined up all over the field. Peppers ranks among the national leaders in tackles for loss, he covers and returns kicks and is the countrys No. 2 punt returner. He also has played some offense, taking snaps out of the wildcat formation.TOP OFFENSIVE PLAYEROhio State quarterback J.T. Barrett is the BBig Tens best chance for the Heisman Trophy.dddddddddddd His downfield passing can be hit or miss, but hes a playmaker and he wins. That was never more apparent than last week at Wisconsin.TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYER NOT NAMED PEPPERSWisconsin linebacker T.J. Watt has overcome injuries the last two years to become one of the conferences most disruptive forces. J.J. Watts little brother, and a converted tight end, he leads the Badgers with 5.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss.BIGGEST MIRAGEDJ Durkins first season at Maryland started 4-0 with points piling up at a fast clip. The Terrapins have scored a total of 24 in losing their last two games, their QB situation is in flux and the turnover bug has cropped up again. They probably will be favored in only one of their final six games (at home against Rutgers).WORST LUCKPenn State has had seven linebackers injured so far, including starters Jason Cabinda, Brandon Bell and Nyeem Wartman-White. Not even Linebacker U. can withstand so many casualties. The good news is that the Nittany Lions are getting healthier, and just in time with Ohio State visiting this week.BEST GAME (so far)Ohio States 30-23 win at Wisconsin. Barrett had 199 of his 318 total yards and all three of his touchdowns after halftime, including the game-winner to Noah Brown in overtime, in a matchup of top-10 teams that lived up to its billing.WORST GAME (so far)Michigans 78-0 win at Rutgers. The Wolverines did whatever they wanted. The Scarlet Knights were limited to 22 yards total yards and two first downs.COACHING CAROUSELPurdue fired Darrell Hazell on Sunday to get a jump on the coaching search. The Boilermakers showed glimmers of hope early in the season, but Hazell couldnt survive 49-35 homecoming loss that really wasnt that close.Minnesotas Tracy Claeys is in his first full season as Jerry Kills successor and in the first year of a three-year contract. The Gophers are 4-2, but after losing an ugly game to Iowa he could really use a win over Nebraska or Wisconsin to fend off skeptical fans.Lovie Smith is off to a 2-4 start at Illinois, has QB issues and undoubtedly still wringing his hands over losing at home to Purdue.Chris Ash knew Rutgers would be a tough job -- the Knights went 11 quarters without scoring -- but he surely couldnt have imagined it being like this.---Online: AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
