WATERLOO, Ont. -- Michelle Wie had to think her 6-under-par 65 would hold up despite a strong wind whipping through Grey Silo Golf Course. It should have been enough, until defending champion Hee Young Park caught fire. The South Korean made her move over the last 10 holes, draining four birdies to match Wies score after Thursdays first round of the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. Wie, who matched her lowest round of the season, birdied three of the last four holes including an eight-foot downhill putt on No. 18. She said she had the same mindset as last season -- getting out of the gate with a good score in case other golfers continued to go low at Grey Silo. "Thats definitely what I thought today," said Wie, who was off the course before Park started her round. "I was early off and I wanted to just make a lot of birdies early on, especially with 26 under winning it last year, its definitely one of those golf courses where you may have to keep making birdies. I went 6 under today and its not enough. I have to keep making birdies for the rest of the weekend. I still have my work cut out for me." Park, who equalled her opening round score last year when she won with the second lowest score in LPGA history at 26 under, said she surprised herself by grabbing a share of the lead. "I didnt really expect to play well today, because last year and this year pretty different golf conditions -- this year more wet and not firm," Park said. "We played a month earlier than last year, so it was a more windier course condition. We didnt care about other players playing well or not, just one by one shot playing." Park laughed when asked if she could equal her score from last year. "I hope so. Today I was a bit lucky. I didnt really miss my second shots so that I hit the green and had a lot of chance to birdie putt. Also, I tried to put it so I had some uphill easier putts rather than hit it too aggressive downhill." The twosome were one shot better than Chinas Shanshan Feng and two shots ahead of Chinas Xi Yu Lin and Christie Kerr of the U.S. at 4 under. After the top five, 12 players were tied at 3 under. For the first time in three years at the tournament the wind factored into the scoring, as only five players shot better than 3-under par in the first round. Last year, 22 players opened with lower scores. Wie was a measure of consistency though on the day with seven birdies, despite some whipping wind, with her only blemish coming with a bogey on No. 9. "I was consistent and I felt that I judged the wind pretty well today," Wie said. "Tuesday practice round was a lot windier, so I think that was very helpful." Feng had a strong round with five birdies, but she wasnt able to match the leaders down the stretch. "Well, this course is normally a birdie course, so everybodys going to make a lot of birdies," Feng said. "Today, I think the wind picked up a little, so the course was playing longer. I miss a lot of birdie putts, but I stayed patient and I think that was the key." Even though most of last years field had some ridiculously low scores, Feng missed the cut by one. Though she scrambled at times in the first round, biding her time was the key to shooting a low score. "This year here Im not giving myself any pressure. Make it and make it. If I dont make it, its still OK." It was a tough day for the worlds top three players. Top-ranked Stacy Lewis and No. 2 Inbee Park finished at 2-under par, and Lydia Ko, sitting in third in the rankings, came in at 1 over. Sixteen-year-old Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., was the leader among Canadians at 1-under 70. Sue Kim of Langley, B.C., and Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont., were at even-par 70, while Charlottetowns Lorie Kane, Erica Rivard of Tecumseh, Ont., and Alena Sharp of Hamilton were at 2-over 73. Maude-Aimee Leblanc of Sherbrooke, Que., finished at 3-over 74, while Torontos Rebecca Lee-Bentham and Nicole Vandermade of Brantford, Ont., shot 4-over 75. Henderson also found the wind to be a factor during her round. she finished tied for 35th last year at 10 under. "Its tough with all the wind out there. Its strong and you have to be really careful in club selection and everything," said Henderson, who finished tied for 35th last year at 10 under. "First goal is to make the cut and 1 under, hopefully, will put me in a good position going into tomorrow." Henderson admitted she is a different golfer than she was two years ago in her first LPGA event. "When I was 14 playing the Canadian Open I was definitely a little scared mouse, thats for sure, but Im definitely a lot more comfortable and my game is a lot better, which really helps."

The Colorado Avalanche have no shortage of viable fantasy forwards. The question is how many minutes will be available to them and can any of their defence or goaltending provide value? Top Picks: Following a down year in 2011-2012, Matt Duchene rebounded with his highest points-per-game (0.91) of his career, playing a career-high 20:55 per game. Among all the skilled young forwards in Colorado, hes the best bet to lead the scoring race in 2013-2014. Colorados 20-year-old captain, Gabriel Landeskog, wasnt as productive in his second season, but his peripheral numbers (shots on goal and hits) alone make him a quality No. 2 left wing option. If he would score on more than 8.2% of his shots on goal (his career rate), then his offensive totals could take off. Value Plays: PA Parenteau proved last season that hes more than just a product of playing on John Tavares wing. The late bloomer has 163 points in three seasons since becoming a full-time NHLer. Thats good enough for 31st in the league in scoring over that time. If not for a run of minus ratings, hed be even more valuable than a No. 3 RW, though hes a high-end option in that respect if your league rewards penalty minutes. A three-time 70-point scorer, Paul Stastnys points per game has steadily declined, to a career-low 0.60 points per game last season, so even though he plays 19 minutes per game, hes being used in more of a two-way role. So keep offensive expectations in check. After a protracted contract negotiation last season, Ryan OReilly still finished with a career-best 0.69 points per game and hes going to shift to left wing this season to make room for Nathan MacKinnon at centre. That move could put OReilly in a more offensive position, allowing him to continue increasing his scoring output. 33-year-old Alex Tanguay returns to Colorado and hes no longer the point-per-game threat that he was when he left as a much younger man, but hes a skilled two-way player who can score enough to have value in deep leagues. LW Jamie McGinn has 19 goaals and 35 points in 64 games since arriving in Colorado, and he plays a physical game, so his hit totals help too, but hes likely starting the year on the third line.dddddddddddd. Even if its a good third line, that could limit his offensive upside enough to keep him a waiver wire candidate in anything but the deepest leagues. Sleepers/Breakthrough: Surely the Avalanche had higher hopes for Semyon Varlamov than the .909 save percentage hes provided in 88 games over two seasons, but he still has appeal because hes the starting goaltender for a team that has some potential to be competitive. The story of the Avalanche defence is that they dont provide much offence, so any options on the blueline are going to be speculative plays. Tyson Barrie might be the best choice, as hes put up 13 points in 42 NHL games as well as 61 points in 87 AHL games in two pro seasons. In a full season, he could put up 30-plus. An agitator who is skilled enough to contribute offensively, Steve Downie played just two games before suffering a torn ACL last season and he may not be ready for the start of the 2013-2014 season, but for leagues that count penalty minutes, hes a rare commodity -- one of three players since 2009-2010 to score at least 45 goals while accumulating at least 500 penalty minutes. Rookies: Its not like the Colorado Avalanche needed to improve at centre, but when they deemed Nathan MacKinnon to be the best prospect in the 2013 Draft, he was their pick at No. 1 and is set to open the season as the No. 3 centre. There seems little doubt that MacKinnon is ready to play in the NHL, but how much ice time he receives, with Duchene and Stastny ahead of him on the depth chart, could have a limiting effect on his overall production. As an upside play, though, hes worth a try as a low-end No. 3 or good No. 4 centre for fantasy owners.
