DENVER -- Ever so steadily, Nashvilles goal scorers are getting on track. The same applies to goaltender Pekka Rinne.See, nothing to worry about.Craig Smith scored twice, Rinne stopped 28 shots and the struggling Predators beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-1 on Tuesday night.Ryan Johansen and Matt Irwin each scored his first goal of the season, while Roman Josi added an insurance goal late for the Predators, who won on the road for the first time.Now, if only Filip Forsberg could rediscover his scoring touch. Hes still stuck on zero goals -- he had 33 last season -- but is showing signs of breaking out of his funk with two more assists.It doesnt matter who is (scoring) -- it feels good to contribute, Forsberg said. We want to keep building.The mood in the Avalanche locker room was sour after such a distressing loss. The team even called an impromptu meeting.To a man we have to be honest and look at ourselves in the mirror and reflect on the way we come to work every day, Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog said. Im not going to go into details about the meeting. But were going to come to the rink tomorrow with a good attitude. Tonight, its got be said: This was embarrassing.Staked to a two-goal lead heading into the third period, Rinne easily made it hold up as he improved to 16-7-2 in his career against the Avalanche.Jarome Iginla scored NHL goal No. 613. Hes 12 behind Colorado Hall-of-Famer-turned-GM Joe Sakic for 15th place on the all-time scoring list.Landeskog attempted to fire up his team 68 seconds into the third period by dropping the gloves and fighting with Austin Watson. The two traded punches before falling to the ice. Both received five-minute penalties for fighting.The Avalanche definitely had more zest.But Rinne & Co. were up for the challenge. Rinne stopped Joe Colbornes blast midway through the final period. Moments later, Nashville defenseman Ryan Ellis slid across the goal on his knees to knock away a puck headed for the net.Best save of the night, Rinne said.It was that kind of evening for Nashville, which kept constant pressure on Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov.Thats not at all how we want to play. Its pretty bad, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. The guys are saying and doing the right things postgame, which is a start.Josi tapped in a goal with 7:51 left to secure the win. Smith scored his second goal of the game 1:09 later.Johansens power-play goal at 11:47 of the second period gave the Predators a 3-1 lead. That snapped a string of 12 straight penalty kills by Colorados defense.Smith got the Predators on the board before many fans were even seated as he knocked in a pass from Mike Ribeiro at 1:33.The Avalanche countered when Iginla scored less than five minutes later. Almost fitting, the 39-year-old Iginla broke out of a five-game goal slump in this game, considering his 39 career goals are the most against the Nashville franchise.Irwin lined in a wrist shot late in the first period for his first goal since March 28, 2015, at Philadelphia. The defenseman was recalled from Milwaukee of American Hockey League on Oct. 24.Things are turning a little bit, just offensively, Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. We seem to be staying in a little bit longer, getting more looks, more attempts. With that is going to come more results. Its nice to get those guys going.Game notes F Cody Bass returned after missing four games with an upper-body injury. ... D Matt Carle, who played down the road at the University of Denver, and F Kevin Fiala were scratches. ... Avalanche D Fedor Tyutin sat out a fourth straight game with a groin injury, but is skating with the team. We are going to give him a few more skates before we get him in, Bednar said. ... F Gabriel Bourque was reassigned to San Antonio of the AHL to get more playing time, Bednar explained.UP NEXT:Predators: At Arizona on Thursday night.Avalanche: At Chicago on Thursday night. Frank Ntilikina Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. Landry Fields Jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. https://www.cheapknicks.com/431x-gerald-wilkins-jersey-knicks.html . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. Allan Houston Jersey . In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. New York Knicks Shirts . Thats about all he can do right now, so hes trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers. Usain Bolt confirmed suffering a grade one hamstring tear at Jamaicas Olympic trials on Friday but the star sprinter expects to secure his place at the Rio Games by proving his fitness at the London Anniversary Games later this month.Bolt withdrew from the final of the mens 100m after Friday nights semi-finals as Yohan Blake went on to win the trial in 9.95 seconds.After feeling discomfort in my hamstring after the first round last night (Thursday) and then again in the semi-final tonight (Friday) I was examined by the Chief Doctor of the National Championships and diagnosed with a Grade 1 tear, Bolt said on his official Facebook account.I have submitted a medical exemption to be excused from the 100m final and the remainder of the National Championships.I will seek treatment immediately and hope to show fitness at the London Anniversary Games on July 22 to earn selection for the Olympic Games in Rio, the two-time Olympic 100 metre and 200 metre gold medallist added.Bolt had clocked 10.dddddddddddd04 seconds to win semi-final one after a poor start.His withdrawal does not mean he would miss the Rio Olympics, where Bolt is expected to defend his 100m and 200m titles.Unlike the United States, where the first three finishers in the trials win Olympic berths, Jamaicas selection policy allows medical exemptions.His coach Glen Mills told Reuters that efforts were made since Thursday night to get Bolt ready for Fridays semi-final and final.The therapist did a good job working on him but in a couple of hours to come and run, he felt it again, Mills said.Hamstring injuries are always serious.The fact that he couldnt run, showed it is serious, but well see what happens between now and (the Olympics), Mills said at trackside after another of his charge, Blake, won the trial.Bolt also posted a photo of receiving treatment on his instagram page.
