ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Semyon Varlamov emptied the net with 2:39 left, and a penalty on Minnesota 25 seconds later gave Colorado a two-man advantage. This time, with a record roaring crowd on their side, the Wild held firm and sent the Avalanche back home with a long to-do list. Charlie Coyle scored his third goal of the series, and the Wild dominated the Avalanche for the second straight game on their way to a 2-1 win on Thursday night that evened the first-round matchup at two apiece. The Wild outshot the Avalanche a stunning 32-12, establishing a franchise record for fewest allowed by Minnesota. Colorado has been outshot 78-34 in the last two games, with Ryan OReilly getting the only goal. "Every game is a new game and you have got to always bring that energy and same focus, but I think we fed off of last game and how well we played," Coyle said. Jared Spurgeon used a slap shot to get a puck past Varlamov just 3:47 into the game, much quicker than the 65:08 the Wild needed to score in Game 3. Game 5 will be in Denver on Saturday night. Coyle was in perfect position on a power play to backhand in a friendly bounce of the ricochet of Jason Pominvilles rocket off the glass behind the net, giving the Wild a two-goal lead with 7:05 left in the second period. Just 30 seconds later, OReilly gave the Avalanche their first goal against Wild rookie Darcy Kuemper in the series after 42 shots and more than 124 minutes without one, a long-range shot from the top of the circle without any traffic in front that cut the lead to 2-1. But that was all they could scrap together on another off night by stars Nathan MacKinnon, Paul Stastny and Gabe Landeskog, who were the highlights for the Avalanche in winning the first two games. "Weve just got to stay on the pedal here and continue this push," Kuemper said. Roys daring removal of Varlamov with 3:01 remaining worked in Game 1, when Stastny tied the game with 13 seconds left and won it in overtime. This time, with the Avalanche in a 6-on-4, Mikael Granlund followed his dramatic diving overtime goal in Game 3 with some daring defence. He lost his stick at one point, but he still managed to block a shot without it as the arena erupted in approval with the final seconds ticking away. The announced attendance of 19,396 was the most ever to watch a Wild playoff game. "Weve had some exciting games since Ive been here in this building, but Ive never heard anything like that tonight. That was fun," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. The Avalanche failed to score on all four power plays and fell to 1 for 15 in the series. Roy didnt look fazed, though, even if his players were frustrated and disappointed. "When we have the type of performance that we have from our goaltender, theres no reason for us to not believe in ourselves, coming back home," Roy said. Even without suspended left wing Matt Cooke, the Wild sure werent missing any energy. They zipped crisp, purposeful passes all over the ice and again kept the play in the Avalanche zone for the majority of the night to raise the level of the crowd noise along with that. The Avalanche, angered by Cookes act, played more physically than in the last game. Granlund was a frequent target of the rough stuff. But the quality of their play further deteriorated. "Were still not testing this goalie enough. Were making him look good by taking shots from the outside and nobody being in front," Landeskog said. The Wilds defence had a lot to do with that, particularly on those power plays, but the Avalanche showed little semblance of an attack and fumbled with the puck often. "Thats part of the playoffs," Stastny said. "We knew it was going to be a tough series. Nothings going to come easy." NOTES: The Wilds win raised the home teams record in the Western Conference playoffs so far to 14-1. ... The Avalanche matched their playoff record for fewest shots on goal.

United on Saturday, March 22 at 4:30 p.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - Rex Ryans first full day on the job as Buffalo Bills coach featured a much anticipated switch of co-ordinators.Greg Roman was hired to run the offence, and Jim Schwartz is out as defensive co-ordinator in a pair of moves announced by the team Tuesday afternoon.Both decisions did not come as a surprise under Ryan, who arrived in Buffalo earlier in the day.Schwartz and Roman were among 12 candidates interviewed by the Bills to replace coach Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly on Dec. 31.Schwartz is now free to pursue other jobs after his contract was terminated. The former Detroit Lions coach spent one season in Buffalo, where he played a significant role in helping the Bills defence lead the NFL with 54 sacks, finish fourth in yards allowed and produce three Pro Bowl linemen.Ryan is a defensive specialist, and has traditionally used an attacking three-lineman, four-linebacker alignment. That differs from Schwartz, who preferred going with a 4-3 alignment that didnt rely on much blitzing.I wanted to give Jim the opportunity to pursue other opportunities, and so we have terminated his contract, Ryan said in a statement released by the Bills. He did a terrific job with the Bills defence this past year, and our plan is for our defence to continue to play well and be a dominating force.Ryan, who was fired after six seasons with the New York Jets, is expected to hire a number of members of his former defensive staff, includingg co-ordinator Dennis Thurman.ddddddddddddThe switch means the Bills defence will be led by a fifth co-ordinator in as many seasons.Schwartz was highly popular among Bills players, including veteran tackle Kyle Williams.Following the season, Williams said he intended to chain (Schwartz) to a car in the parking lot to prevent the co-ordinator from leaving.As for Roman, he had been in talks to become the Bills offensive co-ordinator since Ryan tentatively agreed to a contract on Sunday.Roman spent the previous four seasons serving as the San Francisco 49ers offensive co-ordinator. His status in San Francisco was uncertain after coach Jim Harbaugh left to coach Michigan.Roman and Ryan share a similar run-first philosophy. In San Francisco, the 49ers running attack ranked in the NFLs top 10 in each of the past four seasons.Roman and Ryan also previously worked together as assistants with the Baltimore Ravens in 2006 and 2007.He replaces Nathaniel Hackett, who was not expected to be retained after two seasons in Buffalo. Hackett was one of a number of Marrones assistants at Syracuse, who followed their coach to Buffalo in January 2013.The Bills offence struggled under Hackett. After finishing 19th in the NFL in yards offence in 2013, Buffalo dropped to 26th this past season.Ryan is scheduled to be formally introduced as the Bills coach during a news conference Wednesday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
