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. He had 100 goals and 172 points in 344 NHL games.Game notes Avalanche RW Jarome Iginla appeared in his 1,486th game and moved within one of tying Wayne Gretzky for 18th place on the career list. ...

DETROIT -- According to the Detroit Tigers, the decision to deny the Boston Red Soxs request to push back Thursdays 1:10 p.m. start time was not a punitive one.Red Sox general manager Dave Dombrowski, who was dismissed as GM by the Tigers last season, revealed this week that his old club declined to honor the scheduling change, despite a tough travel turnaround for Boston, which played a night game in Baltimore on Wednesday night.That raised some eyebrows among those who wondered whether the decision was made as a slight to the clubs former executive or to gain a competitive advantage over his new team.Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, asked about the situation before Thursdays game, indicated that the scheduling flap is a much more frequent occurrence than people realize.Every team in baseball, at some point ... has some type of schedule issue. They get in late. They have another game. It happens to every team, every year, Ausmus said. Its not ideal. The baseball schedule is hard. If I were the Red Sox, would I not like it? Absolutely, I wouldnt like it. But theres nothing vindictive going on here. Weve played Thursday day games all year long.Tigers GM Al Avila offered a similar response during a radio appearance earlier this week, citing an article in the Boston Herald that called the move bush-league.I did not think that write-up was that fair because, really, that 1 oclock start time on Thursdays here is popular with our fans here in Detroit, Avila said Tuesday on MLB Network.Dombrowskis original comments suggested that the Tigers might have denied the request to gain a competitive advantage.They traditionally have played Thursday afternoons during the season, although they dont always play [then] because if the roles were reversed, Im sure they wouuld have played a night game, Dombrowski said, according to the Boston Herald.dddddddddddd And Im sure they did it in some ways because they realized we would come in as a tired club, that they did it from a competitive perspective. Unfortunately we didnt have any rights to get it changed.Thats a fair point from Dombrowski. The Tigers and Red Sox remain American League foes, with the Tigers trailing Boston in the standings and entering Thursdays game 3.5 games back from the second wild-card spot.Should the Tigers even be expected to grant the Red Sox any favors when it comes to a scheduling concern?No -- were not going to do them any favors. The Baltimore Orioles didnt do them any favors. They didnt have a day game on getaway day, Ausmus said. It really boils down this being bargained in the collective bargaining agreement in terms of what the travel parameters are. Its within the parameters.Dombrowski confirmed to ESPN that the Red Sox also asked the Orioles to make Wednesdays game -- Bostons getaway day -- a day game, but that request was denied as well.This is not considered uncommon, according to Ausmus.We asked a team earlier this year and they said no, Ausmus said. It happens.At least one Red Sox player was not happy about the situation. Red Sox infielder Travis Shaw tweeted:Some in Detroit have brought up the Detroit Lions preseason game on Thursday night as a reason the Tigers might have declined the request, considering the traffic issues two night games could create. Dombrowski shut down that notion, telling reporters on Thursday that the request was made in the offseason before the NFL schedule was released. ' ' '
