DENVER -- Ryan Miller used his head with the game on the line. No, really, his head. Late in the game, the St. Louis goalie craned his neck into the air to block a shot, taking a puck square in the mask. Anything for a win, especially this late in the season. Miller stopped 26 shots, and David Backes broke up a scoreless game in the second period, helping the Blues beat the surging Avalanche 2-1 on Saturday in a Central Division showdown. "Im just trying to fit in," Miller nonchalantly said. "Im not here to save the day or anything." But he has excelled since being acquired from Buffalo last week. He is 4-0 thanks to plays like he made late in the third period with his team ahead by a goal. Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog got loose in front, and while falling to one knee, tried to lift a shot past Miller. But the veteran rose up to thwart the shot. He was just getting warmed up, too, for the division-leading Blues. Miller withstood a furious rally by the Avalanche in the final two minutes after they pulled goalie Semyon Varlamov. "Im here to become part of this club and work my way in, keep good habits," Miller said. "Ive played a long time and think I have a lot to offer. Thats my job right now." The more chaos around Miller, the more he seemed to calm down. That is one of his best attributes, coach Ken Hitchcock said. "His whole disposition calms everybody down," Hitchcock said. "Hes good. Theres a reason hes won so many games." With the Blues up 2-0 early in the third, after Patrik Berglund added a pivotal insurance goal, Miller appeared headed toward his first shutout in nearly two years. But Colorado solved Miller when P.A. Parenteau lifted a shot over him. "Hes been solid back there," Backes said. "Doing everything that world-class goalies do." Avalanche rookie Nathan MacKinnon had his point streak snapped at 13 games. It is the NHLs longest streak by an 18-year-old player. It was a frustrating afternoon for the Avs as their four-game winning streak was halted. They also lost one of their top offensive players when Paul Stastny went out with a back injury after his opening shift. "That was disappointing, but we didnt hang our heads, we just moved forward," forward Matt Duchene said. "Its a game of inches and they got a little more inches than us." Colorado coach Patrick Roy felt the same way. "Sometimes you arent always rewarded for the way you play and your effort," Roy said. "I thought we had better chances than them. I thought we deserved as much to win, and they did." Berglund gave St. Louis a 2-0 cushion at 3:53 of the final period when he gobbled up the puck down low, spun and lined it over the glove of Varlamov. Moments later, Parenteau beat Miller after receiving a pass from Duchene. That certainly revved up a crowded area, giving the game a playoff feel. "The fans were into this one," Landeskog said. "We left our best out there on the ice." St. Louis made it 1-0 at 7:03 of the second period on a play set up by a long pass from defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk, who has thrived against his former team since he was traded three years ago. Deep in his own end, Shattenkirk sent a pass to T.J. Oshie, who, as he was falling down, slid the puck to Backes. From there, Backes guided the puck past Varlamovs left skate. Shattenkirk has four goals and five assists in 12 games against Colorado. Both teams had a failed power play in the first period and eight shots. Miller had the save of the period when he stopped a point-blank shot from Parenteau with his left shoulder. "Its great to contribute," Miller said. "I wanted to come in and contribute." NOTES: Hitchcock tied Ron Wilson for seventh place on the NHL career wins list with 648. ... The Blues have outscored the Avs 13-5 in taking all three games in the season series. The teams will meet again on April 5 in St. Louis. ... Colorado had 13 of its 27 shots in the final period. ... Roy said of Stastnys injury: "Well know more in the next few days."

CATHARINES, Ont.SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda -- Masters champion Adam Scott broke the course record at Port Royal with a 7-under 64 to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf by two shots over U.S. Open champion Justin Rose on Wednesday. Trailing by four shots with 10 holes to play, Scott pulled ahead of his good friend for the first time with a 6-iron that settled inches from the cup on the par-5 17th for a tap-in eagle. Rose pulled his approach and had to settle for par. "Obviously, Im thrilled to come out on top," Scott said. "Fun -- but a trying couple of days here, really, especially today. Standing on the 11th tee, didnt look like a score like that was going to be possible. But I played very well and managed to slowly claw away at Justin." Rose, who opened with a 67, had a 69 in the 36-hole exhibition for the four major champions of the year. Scott finished at 8-under 134 in his first trip to Bermuda. He won a pink jacket to go along with the green jacket he won at Augusta. A 6-iron was also the club Scott used on the second playoff hole at Augusta National when he defeated Angel Cabrera -- but this one came from a new set. Scott replaced his irons for the Presidents Cup two weeks ago. "So this ones got some good stuff in it, too," he said. U.S. PGA champion Jason Dufner, who starrted two shots behind, fell off the pace quickly and was never a serious threat.dddddddddddd He closed with a 70 to finish alone in third, five shots behind. Padraig Harrington, a three-time major winner, shot 71 to finish eight behind. As the defending champion, Harrington was first alternate to replace British Open champion Phil Mickelson, who chose not to play. Rose had a two-shot lead going into the final day and ran off four birdies to double the lead. Scott stayed in range with three birdies, and then the Australian played mistake-free in tough conditions on the back nine to rally for the win. Scott made birdie on No. 13, and then holed a 20-foot birdie on the 15th after Roses attempt from 30 feet narrowly missed. "I started with a two-shot lead and somebody had to shoot well to beat me," Rose said. "When youre in that position you want to close it out. But when somebody finishes it out like that, you have to tip your hat and say you were beaten rather than losing. He was 4-under the last six, so thats a strong finish." For setting the course record at Port Royal -- Lucas Glover had a 65 in 2009 -- the premier of Bermuda offered Scott an honorary membership at the course. "Do I get to keep it if someone beats it next year?" Scott replied.
