DENVER -- Marc-Andre Fleury and the streaking Pittsburgh Penguins made quick work of the Colorado Avalanche. wholesale nfl jerseys . Fleury stopped 35 shots, Steve Sullivan had a goal and an assist and the Penguins beat the Avalanche 5-1 on Saturday night. Evgeni Malkin, Arron Asham, Richard Park and Deryk Engelland also scored to help the Penguins stretch their winning streak to a season-high five games. "Its huge," defenceman Brooks Orpik said. "Weve learned from the past couple of years if you stumble into the playoffs theres a carry-over to how you play in the playoffs. There are so many good teams its tough to turn the switch on and off, especially these last 20 games as you try to build momentum into the playoffs." The Penguins won after losing another player to a concussion. Defenceman Kris Letang was scratched after taking an inadvertent hit to the head from Dallas Eric Nystrom on Wednesday night. Captain Sydney Crosby has missed 36 games with neck and concussion-like symptoms this season. Pittsburgh didnt need them to beat Colorado for the fourth straight time. "Weve got guys on every line who can score," Asham said. "Thats how you win in the playoffs." Asham opened the scoring for Pittsburgh with his third goal of the season. He took a drop pass from Craig Adams, glided to the right circle and beat goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere on the short side with 7:55 left in the first. Engelland made it 2-0 when he deflected Jordan Staals centring pass over Gigueres right shoulder 1:22 after Asham scored. It was Engellands fifth goal. "Those were big plays in the first for us," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "To get those goals was big." Malkin made it 3-0 when he scored his 38th goal on a rebound early in the second period. Park added to Colorados misfortune when he stepped out of the penalty box, picked up a loose puck at centre ice and beat Giguere on a breakaway midway through the second frame. Fleury was trying to break a tie with Tom Barrasso for the franchise record for career shutouts, but Matt Hunwick ended Fleurys bid for No. 23, scoring off a rebound with 11:02 left. "That time you start thinking about it a little bit," Fleury said. "I was a little disappointed not to get the shutout, but we got two points and thats what matters." Sullivan scored an empty-net goal late in the third to complete the rout. Colorado got scrappy after falling behind. Giguere got into a shoving match with Pittsburgh forward Matt Cooke in second, and in the third Steve Downie took exception to Fleurys stickwork and started a scrum near the Penguins net. "Its a do-or-die situation every game," said Giguere, who had 23 saves. "Were approaching it like its a must-win every night. For that, you must be physical, you must get in the other guys face. Unfortunately it wasnt enough tonight." The loss was a blow to Colorados playoff push. The Avalanche had won four straight to move in contention in the Western Conference, but they now trail eighth-place Dallas by three points. "This is when you really see who wants to get in the playoffs, who wants to win," forward Gabriel Landeskog said. "Weve got a great group of guys in here. We really have a lot of winners in here. We just have to go out and show that, enough talking, weve just got to go out and execute." Notes: Orpik and Paul Martin had two assists each for Pittsburgh. ... Malkin extended his points streak to seven games. ... Downie sustained an undisclosed injury midway through the third period and didnt return. He will not travel with the team to Minnesota for Sundays game. ... The Avalanche honoured former defenceman Rob Blake before the game. Blake was traded to the Avalanche during their Stanley Cup season of 2000-01 and played four more seasons with Colorado before signing with the Los Angeles Kings in 2006. He retired in 2010 after two seasons with San Jose. ... The Penguins are 7-0-2 on the road against Western Conference teams.

Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo took the field on Saturday afternoon to face off against the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the first time since their second-straight Grey Cup victory last November.NEW YORK -- The former Penn State assistant football coach at the heart of a massive child sex-abuse scandal said he showered with young boys and hugged them but called the allegedly criminal contact "horseplay." Jerry Sandusky told NBC News "Rock Center" on Monday night that he was not a pedophile but, in retrospect, should not have showered with the boys hes charged with sexually assaulting. In an interview with Bob Costas, Sandusky, once considered the heir apparent to coaching legend Joe Paterno, proclaimed his innocence in the face of a series of startling allegations detailed in a grand jury report issued last week. "I am innocent of those charges," Sandusky said. "... I could say that I have done some of those things. I have horsed around with kids. I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them, and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact." Sandusky is accused of sexually assaulting eight boys over a 15-year span, with some of the alleged crimes happening at Penn State, where he had access to campus as an emeritus professor following his 1999 retirement as Paternos top defensive assistant. Asked whether he was sexually attracted to underage boys, he said "sexually attracted, no. I enjoy young people, I love to be around them, but, no, Im not sexually attracted to young boys." Asked if there was anything he had done wrong, Sandusky said, "I shouldnt have showered with those kids." When pressed about how two people could claim to have witnessed Sandusky engaged in sexual contact with boys on two different occasions, Sandusky replied that "youd have to ask" them. The scandal has hit hard the community called Happy Valley, where "success with honour" is the motto. Paterno and university president Graham Spanier have lost their jobs and athletic sirector Tim Curley and senior vice-president Gary Schultz face perjury charges. The interview with Costas was Sanduskys first public comment on the charges. He had previously maintained his innocence through his attorney, Joe Amendola. "We anticipate were going to have at least several of those kids come forward and say This never happened. This is me. This is the allegation. It never occurred," Amendola said on the NBC broadcast. The New York Times reported on its website late Monday that close to 10 additional suspected victims have come forward to authorities since Sanduskys arrest, according to people close to the investigation. The paper said police were working to confirm the new allegations. A spokesman for Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly declined to comment on the interview, citing the active investigation. Amendola earlier told CNN that his client was just behaving like "a jock." "Jerry Sandusky is a big overgrown kid," Amendola said. "Hes a jock, and for anybody whos ever played sports, you get showers after you work out." Wide receivers coach Mike McQueary told a grand jury thhat in March 2001 when he was a graduate assistant, he saw Sandusky sodomizing a boy about 10 years old in a shower at the Nittany Lions practice centre. cheap jerseys. McQueary did not go to police but instead told Paterno, Curley and Schultz, although it is unclear how detailed a description he gave. Schultz, in turn, notified Spanier. Sandusky told NBC there was no sexual contact. "We were showering and horsing around, and he actually turned all the showers on and was actually sliding across the floor, and we were, as I recall, possibly like snapping a towel -- horseplay," he said. Amendola accused the attorney generals office of having "thrown everything they can throw up against the wall." He said some of the allegations, such as putting a hand on a boys knee, do not constitute criminal conduct and other cases include no direct complaint by the boy. "They have other people who are saying they saw something, but they dont have actual people saying, This is what Jerry did to me," Amendola said. "Were working to find those people, and when the time comes, and if we are able to do that, we think this whole case will change dramatically." The Associated Press has made several efforts to reach Sandusky by phone and through Amendola, but messages havent been returned. The AP also knocked on Sanduskys door and left messages at least three times over the past week. When Sandusky retired in 1999, at just 55, he cited his desire to devote more time to The Second Mile, a charity he founded in 1977 to help at-risk kids. According to the grand jury report, however, Sandusky was a sexual predator who used the charity and his Penn State connections to prey on young boys. Though he was not particularly close with Paterno, he remained a familiar sight around the Penn State football complex. He was given an office in the East Area Locker building, across the street from the football building, as part of his retirement package, and would take Second Mile kids around the football facilities. The Sandusky interview came on the day when it was announced the president of The Second Mile had resigned. Jack Raykovitz, a practising psychologist who had led the group for 28 years, said he hoped his resignation, accepted Sunday, would help restore faith in the groups mission. The Second Mile also announced it had hired Philadelphias former longtime district attorney Lynne Abraham as its new general counsel. Separately, the Big Ten has decided to take Paternos name off its championship trophy. League commissioner Jim Delany said that it is "inappropriate" to keep Paternos name on the trophy that will be awarded Dec. 3 to the winner of the conferences first title game. The trophy had been named the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. Paterno had more wins, 409, than any other major college coach while football pioneer Amos Alonzo Stagg won 319 games in 57 years at the University of Chicago. The trophy will now be called the Stagg Championship Trophy. ' ' '
