ST.
Adam Vinatieri Jersey . LOUIS -- A week ago,
Jaroslav Halak couldnt wait to get off the ice and find a place to hide. Hed
been no relief at all after replacing Brian Elliott in net in New Jersey and was
embarrassed along with the rest of St. Louis Blues. "I can speak for myself: I
was hoping the game was over after the second period," Halak said. The bad taste
is all gone now. Alexander Steen gave the Blues the early lead and Halak earned
his fourth shutout of the season and was the games first star in a 3-0 victory
over the Devils on Tuesday night. New Jersey had 23 shots, the same as it needed
in a 7-1 rout at home last week, but, this time, had nothing to show for it. "It
was weird, going to New York and getting back and playing Jersey again," Halak
said. "It was a good thing we got it over with and we didnt have to wait."
Brenden Morrow added a power-play goal midway through the third period and
Maxim Lapierre scored into an empty net with 2:08 left. Patrik Berglund assisted
on both third-period scores. "I think the more we learn from those types of
games the better, because thats never a good recipe when youre chasing games,"
Morrow said. "Good teams stay with their structure, stay with their system and
let that roll over and get back into the game that way, and I think we learned
our lesson there." The Blues have won three straight and moved a point ahead of
the Blackhawks, who played later at Calgary, for the Central Division lead. St.
Louis cleaned up on defence a week after getting whipped in New Jersey when
Halak allowed four goals in 14 shots after relieving Elliott. Halak has started
all three games since that setback, allowing a total of four goals. Hes 7-1-1 in
his last nine starts with a 1.77 goals-against average and .940 save percentage.
The Devils mustered little offensively coming off a 7-3 loss to the Rangers at
Yankee Stadium on Sunday. They were shut out for the sixth time, although this
was the first time in 35 games. "Well, we didnt have many chances to score, but
they played great tight defence and we had nothing," said forward Jaromir Jagr,
held to two shots. "We had chances but not 100 per cent chances." The Devils
have the NHLs second-best power play but were 0 for 5 against Halak. "Two
totally different games," coach Peter DeBoer said. "Both goaltenders were very
good. I dont think that was the case last week in New Jersey." The Blues are an
NHL-best 17-3-1 against the Eastern Conference, and 9-0 at home. Steen was the
NHLs second-leading goal scorer in late December before missing 11 games with a
concussion. Hes been back six games and has a point in the last five with three
goals and four assists. "He is a very dynamic player," coach Ken Hitchcock said.
"For him to get to the elite level where he was before, I think he just has to
learn to get back to the right balance between reward and risk. "He had an
unbelievable balance of reward and risk going before he got hurt." Halak and
Brian Elliott have combined for seven shutouts this season. Halak has won four
straight starts with two shutouts this month, and holds the franchise mark with
20 shutouts in four seasons. Morrow deflected a waist-high shot past
Cory Schneider for his eighth goal and first point in nine games, capitalizing
on a tripping call against Bryce Salvador. St. Louis killed off Roman Polaks
high-sticking penalty just nine seconds into the game, and then took the lead on
Steens 27th goal at 3:25. Steen scored his 100th goal in six seasons with St.
Louis scoring from the slot on an odd-man rush with assists by Jaden Schwartz
and David Backes. Alex Pietrangelo took a holding call foiling a break-in by
Stephen Gionta late in the period and, again, the St. Louis penalty killers came
through. The Blues Vladimir Sobotka hit the goal post on an odd-man rush with
just under five minutes to go. The Devils played in St. Louis for the first time
since Nov. 20, 2010, a 3-2 Blues victory. NOTES: NFL Hall of Famer Dan Dierdorf,
who recently retired from broadcasting, wore a Blues jersey with his number 72
while watching from a private box. ... New Jersey is 5-16-3 when trailing after
two periods. ... Jagr had totalled two goals and four assists the previous four
games. ... Steen has seven game-winners in 41 games this season. The previous
two seasons, he totalled six game-winners in 83 games.

When the best players from both countries hooked up for an eight-game series in
1972, a heated rivalry was born.NAPLES, Fla. -- A windy afternoon along the Gulf
Coast of Florida played right into the hands of Sandra Gal on Friday in the LPGA
Titleholders. Gal controlled the flight of her ball and picked up three birdies
on the back nine at Tiburon Golf Club, giving her a 3-under 69 and a three-shot
lead going into the weekend of an LPGA Tour finale that pays $700,000 to the
winner. The 28-year-old German has spent much of the year working on a shorter
swing and hitting a variety of shapes and trajectories, and that was put to good
use in the blustery conditions. And the fact she opened with a 64 didnt hurt.
"My advantage was yesterday," Gal said. "Shooting 8-under was big. Today it was
hard for everybody to catch up. Thats what gave me that three-shot lead." Gal
was at 11-under 133. Sun Young Yoo, the former Kraft Nabisco champion, had a 68
and was alone in second. The degree of difficult was best measured by what Yoo
considered her best shot of the round -- a 6-iron on the 18th hole that didnt
even hit the green. "Im very pleased with how I played," Yoo said. "I recovered
very well." Lydia Ko, the 16-year-old from New Zealand making her pro debut,
played her final 10 holes without a birdie and finished at 71, leaving her nine
shots behind. "I thought I played much better today than yesterday, but the
score was the same," Ko said. "I left a couple of my putts short just in front
of the hole. Then when I got my speed right, the direction was wrong, so that
was kind of frustrating." Gal hasnt won since her inaugural title at the Kia
Classic two years ago, and her biggest disappointment this year was not getting
picked for the Solheim Cup team. She felt her game was turning around, but not
in time to warrant a captains pick. Instead, she might have to settle for the
biggest payoff in womens golf. To win this week would amount to one-third of her
career earnings. "Its easier for people to say, I dont care about the money, I
only want to play well. But they dont mean it, right?" she said with a smile.
"But Im not out here to play for money. Im out here to play with heart and to
inspire others. Its a huge purse. But at the end of the day, when you win a
tournament, youre happy about fighting and overcoming fear.
Authentic Ryan Kelly Jersey. " Cristie Kerr
had to fight plenty hard to get another 69 and lead the group at 6-under 138,
five shots behind. Kerr thought she took take a 6-iron through a gap in the
trees on the par-5 opening hole, and instead knocked it into the water. She had
to drop in pine straw, and sent her fifth shot over the green. Her chip hit the
pin, allowing her to tap in for a double bogey. What followed was a "horrendous"
shot at the third (bogey) and a "horrible" shot on the fifth into a bunker. But
she saved par, and that changed her thinking. "I wasnt going to let this
tournament go down the toilet," she said. Kerr then ran off three straight
birdies, knocked in a 15-foot birdie putt on the 12th, and then holed an 80-foot
putt for eagle on the 17th that put her back in the mix. "On 17, I mean I was
just due. I dont know how to describe it any other way than that," she said.
Morgan Pressel had a 67, the low score of the second round. Four players failed
to break 80. Inbee Park was within a shot of the lead early in the round,
reaching 7 under, until she fell back to a 72 and was seven shots behind. Park
headed off to rehearse her speech one last time before accepting LPGA player of
the year at the awards dinner Friday night. Most players are nervous to stand
before a big room for such a big moment. "Ive had a lot more pressure," Park
said with a smile, a reference to going after a fourth straight major earlier
this year at St. Andrews. Stacey Lewis (73) and Suzann Pettersen (72) were in
the group at even-par 144, significant only as it relates to the Vare Trophy for
the lowest scoring average. Pettersen would have to finish nine shots higher
than the American to win the award. Gal stayed in the lead most of the day, and
one last birdie stretched her lead. She would expect to make birdie on the 17th,
the shortest of the par 5s. Just not this way. She hooked her tee shot into the
trees and wasnt sure she could find it. "Happy to find my ball," she said. "Had
a swing -- very happy. Had an 8-iron and thought, Lets go for the pin, and
almost holed it out. Made the putt (from 15 feet). All very simple Never in
doubt."
