The Vancouver Canucks are playing the second of a back-to-back but it might be the Colorado Avalanche that are at a disadvantage.The Canucks fell to the Stars, 2-1, in Dallas on Friday night and now face a Colorado team that is dealing with injuries. When the puck drops Saturday night the Avalanche will be without No. 1 goaltender Semyon Varlamov, who is out with an upper-body injury.Theyll also play their fifth straight game without captain Gabriel Landeskog because of a lower-body injury. Landeskog skated at practice Friday and was scheduled to be on the ice Saturday morning but has been ruled out.The silver lining is Landeskog is skating and Varlamovs injury doesnt appear too serious.(Varlamov) should be full practice by Sunday, coach Jared Bednar told HockeyBuzz.com.The other bright spot is Calvin Pickard will get the start. Pickard has played well in relief of Varlamov this season, including a shutout against the Minnesota Wild three weeks ago. He is 4-1 with a 2.07 goals-against average and beat Minnesota 3-2 in his last start a week ago.Pickard is excited to be playing Saturday because the game will be the second of the Hockey Night in Canada doubleheader.As Canadians we all grew up watching it, so its going to be fun, he told HockeyBuzz.com.The Avalanche (9-10) recalled goalie Spencer Martin from San Antonio of the AHL to serve as Pickards backup and reassigned forward A.J. Greer to the Rampage.Vancouver (8-11-2) is dealing with injuries of its own. Winger Sven Baertschi missed Fridays loss in Dallas because of a toe injury. He took a shot off his skate in the second period of Wednesdays win in Arizona and couldnt play against Dallas. He had a goal and two assists Wednesday and his line combined for eight points.It is a little disappointing, linemate Alex Burrows told the Vancouver Sun of Baertschis injury, which is considered day-to-day. I saw him get off (the ice) and it was like, shoot, its too bad because I think we were just starting to peak and we had good things going. Hopefully, he will be fine. Its part of the NHL. Youre going to have guys who go out of the lineup. You just have to dig deeper and try to get some chemistry with someone else.Winger Jack Skille, who played for Colorado last year, returned to the lineup Friday after missing one game.The Canucks are finishing up a quick three-game road trip before returning home to play the Wild on Tuesday. Vancouver is 4-3-1 in the past seven games and Burrows line is starting to play well.Theyll have to deal with a confident Pickard, who supplanted Reto Berra as the backup with some fine play last year. He signed a two-year, $2 million contract in the offseason.It definitely gives you a sense of comfort, he told HockeyBuzz.com. But that being said, things change quickly. You have to always stay on your toes and be ready for when youre called upon. Every games an audition for everybody, so its another game for me tomorrow to prove that I belong in this league.

NORTON, Mass. -- Rickie Fowler walked off Bethpage Black on Sunday steaming mad after posting a double-bogey and two bogeys in his final four holes.Now, lets not mince words: There have been tougher losses to overcome than Fowlers defeat at the Barclays. There have been collapses from seemingly insurmountable leads, down the stretch at major championships, even in recent months.On the scale of heartbreakers, Fowlers loss doesnt even register; he kicked away a 1-stroke, 54-hole lead to not only lose but fail to clinch an apparent Ryder Cup spot.That doesnt mean he didnt feel the effects.It definitely hurt, especially because of how well I was playing and how much good golf I put together during the week, but it was almost the opposite of Phoenix, said Fowler, referencing this years Waste Management Phoenix Open, where a 71st hole tee shot into the water led to a playoff loss to Hideki Matsuyama. I played well at Phoenix, but the last nine holes I did not miss a shot. I put it together, but a couple of bad breaks and Im on the losing end.Even the winningest professionals win tournament titles a small minority of the time, making each one of these close calls vitally important. When they dont go according to plan, it can often feel like a lost opportunity.All of which begs the question: How do players bounce back from these tough losses?Sticking to game plans, not wavering from what youve decided to do, said Fowler, who posted an opening 2-under 69 to begin his Deutsche Bank Championship title defense tied for 38th on Friday. I feel like Ive always been pretty positive on the golf course, not getting down on myself and trying not to dwell on the past. They all sound like clichés, but those are key things out there.Again, hes hardly the only player who has had to deal with the travails of trying to bounce back. In fact, ask any great player and theyll instantly recall a loss that hurt more than others.Jordan Spieths toughest defeat was a historic one. He led the Masters by 5 strokes with nine holes to play in April, only to eventually lose by 3.Recognizing the longevity of a career, recognizing how many chances youre going to get, and that kind of time and the poor memories, the poor experiences like this year at the Masters, if you keep your head down, keep doing your job, it will end up diminishing because youll end up getting back to that high point again, said Spieth, who won three staarts later at the Dean & DeLuca Invitational.ddddddddddddThe more times you prevail, the less you think about what happened in those tough times.He might not have received equal gratification from the event he won, but sometimes a tough loss can lead to an even bigger win afterward.When asked about this phenomenon, Zach Johnson instantly recalled a circumstance from last year.I was really, really upset after the John Deere Classic last year, he said of finishing 1 shot out of a playoff. I was bitter. It stuck with me for a little bit. You have to embrace the anger. You have to embrace the fact that you gave it your all and didnt win. You can be mad about it, but youve got to get over it pretty quickly, because the positive is that you had a chance to win a golf tournament, which isnt easy.Johnson took the positives with him and hopped on a plane to Scotland soon afterward. The very next week, he won the Open Championship at St. Andrews.As for his best advice for anyone coming off a tough loss, Johnson said, If you really want to dumb it down, youve just got to eliminate outcomes. Regardless of what you finish, find why you were in that position to win and stick to it.Theres no player in the current generation more closely associated with heartache on the golf course than Phil Mickelson. Despite 42 PGA Tour wins, including five major titles, his half-dozen U.S. Open runner-up results and other various near-misses have helped define his legacy just as much.One of the things thats always fueled me is that failure pisses me off, Mickelson admitted. It makes me work harder to try and overcome that. It was really a big thing for me in 2013, when I lost the U.S. Open; I was really down about that. But it inspired me to work harder, and I ended up having one of the greatest weeks of my life [winning] The Open. So you just have to use it as fuel as opposed to feeling defeated.As for bouncing back, Mickelson said there is no secret formula.Theres no magic; you just have to be resilient and you just have to accept it, Mickelson said. People are going to use failure as one of two things -- theyre going to either be depressed about it and pack their bags and go home, or theyre going to be motivated to work harder and not let that happen again to make up for the failure.
