The Colorado Avalanche have elected to take centre Ryan OReilly to salary arbitration. The club had until 5pm et on Sunday to file and has decided to bring the case before a mediator. OReilly made $6.5 million last season in the second year of a back-end-loaded contract. The deal arose out of an offer sheet OReilly signed with the Calgary Flames prior to the lockout-shortened 2012-13 NHL season. The Avalanche decided to match the offer instead of losing OReillys services and as such must now make him a qualifying offer of $6.5 million to retain his rights. OReilly is slated to become a restricted free agent on July 1. The other 29 NHL clubs are still eligible to sign OReilly to an offer-sheet between July 1 and July 5 despite the filing, a change that was made in the collective bargaining agreement signed in January, 2013. The 23-year-old scored 28 goals and added 36 assists in 80 games with the Avalanche in 2013-14. Originally selected by the Avalanche in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, OReilly has scored 73 goals and 118 assists in 345 career games with the club. An arbitration hearing between OReilly and the Avalanche would likely occur in late July. Dalvin Tomlinson Giants Jersey . "Last year didnt go the way we wanted it to, but we need to look at what went well and what didnt go so well. Hopefully this year we will be better," Brendan Gallagher said after practice. This year, the Canadiens have a little more depth to work with by adding players like Daniel Briere, Dale Weise, Mike Weaver, Douglas Murray and arguably, the biggest addition to this playoff roster, Thomas Vanek, who the Canadiens were able to land at the trade deadline.

Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. Farfan settled the result in the 67th with a penalty after Freiburg substitute Tim Albutat brought down Max Meyer on the edge of the penalty area. TV replays were inconclusive as to whether the foul occurred inside or outside the area. "Were talking about 20 centimetres. Its hard for a referee. Of course were happy that he awarded it," said Keller, who had been under increasing pressure since Schalke was knocked out of the German Cup. Oliver Baumann produced a fingertip save to deny Meyer from scoring with an overhead kick two minutes later, in what was the highlight of a scrappy game. "The win will do the whole club, the whole team good, even if we didnt deliver our best performance. Were simply happy to have won," said Keller, who took over from the dismissed Huub Stevens a year ago. "I have the feeling Im still under pressure," Keller said. "But its not about me. Well have to see what decision is taken. Im happy with every day that Im here. Nobody thought Id last so long." The loudest cheers came with two mminutes remaining when Schalke fan favourite Kyriakos Papadopoulos came on after more than a year out due to knee problems.dddddddddddd. "That was pure goose bumps," the 21-year-old Greek defender said. "Im very, very happy. I never gave up and worked hard every day for my comeback." Schalke remains sixth after 16 games played while Freiburg still occupies the relegation play-off place after its fifth successive loss across all competitions. "Its not inexplicable," said Freiburg coach Christian Streich, who highlighted his sides modest resources. "The lads played their 25th game today. Were bringing amateur players in that you have to build up slowly, because theyll all at the edge. We played at the absolute limit. We no longer have the strength to maintain it. Well go into the second half of the season and try to make the impossible possible." Marco Russs second-half header was enough for Frankfurt to end a run of 10 games without a win in Sundays late game at second-place Leverkusen. Russ, a defender, rose above Leverkusens Philipp Wollscheid to power Sebastian Jungs cross past Bernd Leno with a header in the 61st. Joselu missed a penalty for the visitors with the last kick of the game, and Jan Rosenthal hit the post in the 12th minute, but it didnt matter as Frankfurt climbed three points above Freiburg. Leverkusen remains seven points behind leader Bayern Munich after its third defeat of the season. ' ' '
