(SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim to rebound from only their third loss in 14 games as they visit the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night at Pepsi Center. The Blackhawks had an eight-game home winning streak snapped with a 5-1 setback to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. Marian Hossa had the lone goal, while Corey Crawford allowed three goals on 13 shots before getting lifted in the first period. Antti Raanta made 11 saves in relief as Chicago lost at home for the first time since Nov. 7 versus Washington. I think weve been in every hockey game except for tonight, Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville said. Disappointing ending to a very good stretch. The Blackhawks still come out of the Christmas break leading the Central Division by two points over the Nashville Predators and it figures to be a busy upcoming week for the club. Chicago will host second-place Nashville on Monday before visiting the Capitals on New Years Day for the 2015 Winter Classic. Crawford should get a chance tonight to shake off his recent outing. Tuesday was just his second game since he missed eight in a row with a lower-body injury. But Crawford is just 3-6-2 versus Colorado lifetime with a 3.22 goals against average and .874 save percentage in 11 meetings with 10 starts. The Avalanche are riding their longest winning streak of the season, picking up a third victory in a row with Tuesdays 5-0 win over the St. Louis Blues. Semyon Varlamov returned to action with 26 saves for his second shutout of the season and 15th of his career. Varlamov played for the first time since Dec. 5 due to a groin injury, an aliment that has sidelined him three separate times this season. We played a real solid game the whole 60 minutes, said Varlamov. It is much easier to play when the guys score lots of goals. Alex Tanguay and Ryan OReilly each had one goal and an assist for the Avalanche, who have points in six straight (4-0-2). Jarome Iginla, Zach Redmond and Erik Johnson also lit the lamp. Varlamov was backed up on Tuesday by Calvin Pickard, who has gone 6-5-2 with a 2.06 GAA and .939 save percentage in 13 games (10 starts) this season, excelling when filling due to injury. Pickard is expected to start tonight, but may eventually go back to the minors for more playing time if Varlamov remains healthy. The Avalanche also have goaltender Reto Berra on the roster. Pickard faced the Blackhawks for the first time on Nov. 26 at home and lost, giving up three goals on 45 shots. That 3-2 win by Chicago came in the first of five meetings this season and snapped Colorados three-game series win streak. Bills Jerseys China .

The No. 23 seed at the first Grand Slam event of the tennis season has worked out all the details, from his training regime right down to where hes going to eat dinner.INDIANAPOLIS -- While his team struggled with setup and speed, Scott Dixon has flown under the radar during preparations for the Indianapolis 500. Its exactly how he wants it. Its how he has tried to be his entire career. "I like to live simply," Dixon said. As such, one of the most decorated drivers of the last decade goes grossly underappreciated for his accomplishments. Hes the Jimmie Johnson of IndyCar, the driver tearing through the record books with his eye on the top names in series history. Dixons 33 career victories rank seventh all-time, and three more wins would leapfrog him past Al Unser Jr. and Bobby Unser into fourth place. The only drivers who rank higher than Dixon in victories right now have the last name Andretti, Foyt and Unser. Since joining Chip Ganassi Racing in 2002 while the team still raced in the now-defunct CHAMP Car Series, Dixon has won at least one race in every season except two. He has an Indianapolis 500 win on his resume, and his three IndyCar championships -- spread out in 2003, 2008 and 2013 -- show a consistency and longevity thats hard to match. At just 33 years old, he conceivably has almost another decade of racing ahead of him. But hes worked in the shadow of some huge personalities and some of open-wheel racings biggest stars. When Dario Franchitti joined the Ganassi organization in 2009, Dixon watched his famous teammate reel off three consecutive championships and two Indy 500 wins. In that same span, Dixon finished second in the championship once, third three times, and finished second to Franchitti in the 2012 Indy 500. Living in Franchittis shadow never bothered him. "I preferred that, actually," said Dixon, who will start Sundays Indy 500 in 11th, in the fourth row. "When I come out of the truck and everyone is standing around waiting, they all chased after Dario and I could just get on the scooter and ride off and get to work. Ive never had any problem not having the spotlight on me." Franchitti is on the sidelines now, forced into retirement last November from injuries suffereed in a crash at Houston a month earlier.dddddddddddd. The imposing 1-2 attack of the two red Target cars has been broken up. It means Dixon finally has the team to himself, but he doesnt view it that way -- he maintains its always been owner Chip Ganassis team -- and the laid-back New Zealander isnt seeking any fame. Its a shame, because hes earned the attention. "Hes achieved so much, hes one of the most successful of all time, but a lot of people dont know that," said reigning Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan, a fan favourite and Franchittis replacement this year in the Ganassi organization. "He just does his job. Is he more famous than me? Not really. But were not talking about that. Its not what his goal is. Hes doing exactly what he wants to do." Dixon excels at striving for more and putting in the work toward continuing to improve his race craft. "He doesnt stop learning. He doesnt allow what hes just done to be the high point in his life, in his career. He only uses that as a springboard for the next day," said Mike Hull, Ganassis managing director and the strategist atop Dixons pit stand. "We just do not stop learning together, and he represents us. I wish we could clone him, to be honest about it, moving forward because hes the kind of person you need driving your race cars." In his 13th season with Ganassi, Dixon is easily the longest tenured driver in organization history. The team owner says the longevity is because Dixon "doesnt seem to carry much baggage with him." For an owner who dislikes drama or having to massage egos and manage personalities, Dixon is his easy child. As for where Dixon ranks among the all-time greats, Ganassi doesnt want to be part of the conversation. "Were obviously very proud to have Scott," Ganassi said. "When you talk about legacies ... that will be something someday for you in the media to talk about. I dont think its our position in the race team to talk about that. We certainly think his name deserves to be up there as well."
