The Winnipeg Jets surge has them eyeing the top spot in the Central Division, and theyve also been picking up valuable points against division opponents along the way. They can earn another victory over a Central team when they go for their second win in a week over the struggling Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night. Viewers and listeners in the Jets region can catch the game starting at 7:30pm ct on TSN3 and TSN Radio 1290. Winnipeg (15-9-5) bounced back from a shootout loss to Anaheim on Sunday by winning 5-2 at Dallas on Tuesday. Rookie Adam Lowry scored twice and backup Michael Hutchinson made 26 saves for the Jets, 5-0-2 in their last seven. The production from the 6-foot-5, 207-pound Lowry was timely with fellow forward Evander Kane sitting out the first of a two-game suspension for checking-from-behind major and game-misconduct penalties against the Ducks Clayton Stoner. It was great, right wing Blake Wheeler told the teams official website about the performance of the 21-year-old Lowry. Hes been close all year, and I think when hes playing physical and hes playing fast, he creates a lot of havoc out there for himself and for his linemates. Its great to see him rewarded for all the good things hes done for our team this year. Wheeler added a goal and an assist to give him six points in the past three games. Dustin Byfugliens four-game goal streak was snapped, but he recorded two assists. Though in fourth place, Winnipeg has moved to within four points of first after improving to 5-3-1 against Central opponents. All these games in our division, they will be important throughout the year, coach Paul Maurice said. Theres a lot of points on the line and these are critical games. Maurices team has also been proficient on the road, moving to 9-4-3 heading into the finale of a two-game trip. The Jets rolled past Colorado by a 6-2 score Friday behind three goals and an assist from Bryan Little, and the Avalanche werent much better in their next game, falling 3-0 to Nashville at home Tuesday. They were outshot 36-26 in dropping to 0-3-1 in December after winning five of their last seven in November. The Avs (9-13-6) have been shut out four times after being blanked once in 2013-14. They have a shots-per-game differential of minus-4.29, which is 26th in the NHL. You watch the videos, and when we have point shots, were passing in front and we finish on the side instead of stopping and staying there. Were just looking maybe for the perfect goal all the time, coach Patrick Roy told the teams website. Thats not the way it works. Sometimes youre going to have the ugly one and tip something on someone and itll go in, especially against a goalie (Pekka Rinne) that played that well. The banged-up Avs played Tuesday without goaltender Semyon Varlamov, who missed his 10th game of the season after aggravating a groin injury during practice Monday, but rookie Calvin Pickard stepped in and was Colorados best player with 33 saves. Roy said Varlamov would miss a couple weeks. I think we have so much talent, its only a matter of time before we explode and have a big night, Pickard said. Its definitely going to come soon. Winnipeg, though, has won three straight in the series - two this season - and is 4-0-2 in the past six meetings. The Jets Ondrej Pavelec, who could return for this game, is 4-1-1 with a 1.78 goals-against average in six career starts against Colorado.

"Thank God hes OK," Stars forward Tyler Seguin said as his club prepared to face the St. Louis Blues Tuesday night. "Hockeys just a game at that point. It really puts things in perspective." The incident occurred with 13:37 remaining in the first period of Mondays contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Peverley was transported to hospital after being attended to for several minutes, and the Stars later issued a statement saying that he was conscious and his condition was not life-threatening. "Hes doing good. Hes stable, hes in good spirits," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said on Tuesday. "A few guys said hes interacted and said hes got his sense of humour back and ready. Hes in good medical care and the story we get to tell is a real good one. Thats the part I like." On Tuesday, Stars general manager Jim Nill said in a statement that Peverley is in stable condition and has been communicating with teammates and friends since he was admitted into hospital. Nill said doctors are focused on finding a long-term solution to Peverleys irregular heartbeat. The condition was diagnosed in training camp, and he underwent a procedure that sidelined him for the preseason and the season opener. "Its a big relief. We were pretty scared there. Once we found out that he was good and stable, it was a very big relief," Stars captain Jamie Benn said. "Hes in good hands. Its something you never want to see. Obviously Rich is a big part of this team. Were obviously a family in here and we never want to see someone go down like that." The Stars game against the Blue Jackets was postponed after Peverley went down. "Its scary when you see something like that happen," Senators captain Jason Spezza said. "Its very scary when you see a guy collapse like that; Im sure those guys that were involved in the incident are pretty shaken up and everyone wishes him thee best and hopefully he recovers well.dddddddddddd "When you see things like that happen, it puts things into perspective for everybody and their families." Senators forward Clarke MacArthur added "When something like that happens its like time stands still. I was just waiting by the TV hoping to hear the best news possible. Thank God for the trainers and the guys who took care of him. Hes got a wife and a family and its a scary situation." Blue Jackets centre Brandon Dubinsky said Tuesday that he and his teammates are coming to grips with what they witnessed. "Obviously being part of a traumatic incident like that is never easy, but hopefully the fact he is doing well will allow us to get ready for an important game," Dubinsky said. Blue Jackets forward Nathan Horton added: "I was sick to my stomach wondering if hes OK." The situation on the bench brought back memories of when Detroit defenceman Jiri Fischer went into cardiac arrest during a game against the Nashville Predators on Nov. 21, 2005. Fischer, now the Red Wings director of player development, subsequently retired due to heart problems. "It affects everybody," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "I know how rattled our guys were. Its way different than hockey and obviously way more important than hockey." Senators head coach Paul MacLean, who was an assistant coach in Detroit when Fischers emergency happened, added, "When I got home last night I got to see it again on the news and its a terrible thing to have happened; having been there for one previous event, its scary. Its really scary to see something like that happen. You dont expect that from professional athletes with the highest fitness level. It gives you a bad feeling in your stomach." Meanwhile in Montreal, Canadiens forward Brandon Prust said Peverley has the support of the entire NHL. "I think everyone in the league is thinking about him and praying for him," Prust said. "Its always really sad to see, it kind of breaks your heart." ' ' '
