DALLAS -- After Dallas scored three goals in the first period, it was on Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen to preserve the win.Patrick Eaves capped Dallas three-goal first and the Stars held off the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 Thursday night. Johnny Oduya and Brett Ritchie also scored in the first for Dallas.Colorado outshot Dallas 30-16 in the last 40 minutes, but Lehtonen camp up big while getting 28 of his 34 saves.You need a game once in a while where your goalie makes some big saves to give you a win, Stars center Jason Spezza said, and Kari did that tonight.The last 40 minutes were largely a battle between Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon and Lehtonen.MacKinnon scored a short-handed goal and added an assist on Mikhail Grigorenkos third-period goal.Lehtonen stopped MacKinnon on a breakaway midway through the second period and again on a rebound with 10 minutes left in the game.I didnt love (MacKinnons) first period, just like the rest of our team, Colorado coach Jared Bednar said, but he came hard in the last two periods. He was all around the net, he was hanging onto pucks and it wasnt fancy plays.MacKinnon has scored only three goals this season.It was a tough start to the year, he said. Im just trying to stay positive. Ive got to be better.MacKinnon won 11 of 19 faceoffs in the first two periods. He was 5 for 12 in the third after Stars coach Lindy Ruff matched Cody Eakin, returning for his first game this season, with MacKinnon in the faceoff circle.MacKinnon was eating up (Radek) Faksa, Ruff said, so I looked to (Eakin) to kind of dig in and win a couple. I thought all night he did a good job.Eakin won 15 of 23 faceoffs.Semyon Varlamov stopped 19 shots and snapped an 11-game winning streak against the Stars.Oduya scored his first goal since last Dec. 17 on a slap shot from the left point that went in off Colorado defenseman Tyson Barries left knee at 8:15.I just close my eyes and shoot, Oduya said. I told Patty (Eaves) that Im not like him, putting it top shelf every time. For me, its kind of shoot at the net and see what happens, and sometimes it goes in.Barely two minutes later, Ritchie scored from the slot on the power play after taking a pass from Devin Shore low in the left faceoff circle.Eaves power-play goal from the right of the net followed rapid-fire passes from Spezza behind the net and Tyler Seguin high in the slot.I thought we played 20 minutes, Ruff said. Maybe a little more than that, until the short-handed goal. Im frustrated with the short-handed goals weve been giving up, and Im sick of it.Dallas has allowed four shorthanded goals this season.MacKinnons goal with 7:54 left in the second came after he took Andreas Martinsens pass from the right corner just to the right of the net and beat Lehtonen. Two minutes earlier, Lehtonen had stopped MacKinnon on a breakaway at the endThe Avalanche pulled within a goal at 1:51 of the third when Grigorenko redirected MacKinnons shot from the right point into the right side of the net.Game notes A preseason knee injury had sidelined Eakin almost two months. ...

Jason Holder, the West Indies captain, praised Kraigg Brathwaites maturity and composure in seeing off a tense chase to help record the sides first Test win since May 2015. Brathwaite, who carried his bat to make 142 in the first innings, remained unbeaten on 60 in the second innings as West Indies chased down 153 with five wickets in hand.We showed character and fight. Credit must go to Kraigg Brathwaite. He played an outstanding innings in the first innings and took responsibility of the chase in the second innings, Holder said of his deputy. Even though we lost the series, we did a lot of things right.Brathwaite became the first opener in 2229 Tests to remain unbeaten in both innings. He was complemented by Shane Dowrich, who struck his fourth half-century in an 87-run sixth-wicket stand that helped West Indies wipe off the remaining 39 runs in 7.5 overs on the fifth morning in Sharjah.Brathwaite battled for close to 10 hours over both innings, and reveled in what he termed his best two knocks in his 34-Test career so far. This has been the best batting Test match so far of my career. I hope to repeat this feat many times in my career, he said. Ive had a good start. The key is to maintain it. I dont want to get comfortable. I just want to conntinue working hard and score a lot of runs.ddddddddddddThe overnight pair played freely against both pace and spin to collect six boundaries in the morning, thereby converting a potentially tricky chase into a cruise. Understanding his game and having a clear mind, Brathwaite said, were the keys to batting on a low Sharjah surface.The plan was to keep rotating strike and bring the target down, he said. I knew my weak and strong areas. It was just a case of working around my strengths and backing my abilities. I knew on a low pitch, getting onto the front foot to play your strokes would give more runs than staying on the back foot.Brathwaites partner Dowrich said their approach in this Test was a template they had to stick to in their quest to maintain consistency. This is a special feeling. The way we played this Test is the way we should play going forward, he said. We were positive right from the start. I just told myself Ill be positive this morning since Kraigg is the anchorman. We knew if we stayed positive, wed win here. Test cricket has been my dream growing up. Id love to continue to perform for West Indies.
