ST. LOUIS -- After the St. Louis Blues let a two-goal lead get away, Vladimir Tarasenko made sure they skated off with a win. Tarasenko scored and added an assist in regulation, and then netted the deciding goal in the shootout to lead the Blues to a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. Just seconds after Roman Josi gave the Predators a 3-2 lead at 7:33 of the third period, Tarasenko got control of the puck. He moved into the Nashville end, and after hesitating from the high slot, beat goalie Carter Hutton with a wrist shot at 7:49. Tarasenko credited his father, Andrei, who coaches in Russia, for his tying goal. "That was a set play that my father (taught) me," he said. "If you do it right, its probably hard to catch it. I just tried to make it through." But Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said Tarasenko, who has 18 goals, has the kind of skills that cannot be taught. "Theres not many pure shooters," Hitchcock said. "But hes one of them." Brian Elliott, who has won 14 of his last 15 at home, stopped three of four shots in the shootout. Nashville fell to 1-7 in the tiebreaker. Predators coach Barry Trotz was pleased to get one point. "I thought it was a great point for us," Trotz said. "Youre down to the St Louis Blues 2-0, and its a real hard rink to come into. They come at you hard, but I thought as the game went on we got better and better." Jaden Schwartz and David Backes also scored for the Blues, who have beaten the Predators eight of the last nine. Elliott made 28 saves to end a three-game losing streak. Paul Gaustad, Mike Fisher and Roman Josi scored the Nashville goals, and Hutton turned aside 31 shots. Fisher got the Predators even 2-2 at 3:25 of the third period when he beat Elliott from a bad angle along the right boards. Josi then gave Nashville its first lead, but it lasted just 16 seconds. "Tarasenko is dangerous off the rush," Trotz said. Derek Roy, who played on a line with Tarasenko and Jaden Schwartz, said the sky is the limit for Tarasenko. "I feel like he gets better every game," Roy said. "Hes eager to learn. He wants to play well and he wants to win. Those are good qualities in a player." Schwartz opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 9:11 of the first period when he converted a centring pass from Chris Stewart. Backes gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead when he redirected Jay Bouwmeesters shot from the right point at 3:31 of the second. But Gaustad got the Predators back in it with 3:12 left in the second when the puck came to him in the slot off a scrum in the corner, and he buried a shot past Elliott. NOTES: Nashville D Shea Weber, who scored twice in Friday nights 3-2 win against New Jersey, was listed as questionable because of an upper-body injury but he played his usual shifts. ... Backes played in his 543rd game with the Blues, tying him with Keith Tkachuk for 12th place on the teams career list. ... Josi has 11 points in his last 10 games. Troy Tulowitzki Rockies Jersey .

The matchup between the top two rushers in the NFL didnt disappoint. The difference was Seattles rookie QB. Lynch ran for 124 yards and a touchdown, Wilson threw three first-half touchdown passes, and the Seahawks overcame 182 yards by Peterson in a 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday that could hold greater importance later in the season.

Fiorentina took the lead following a terrible blunder from Morgan De Sanctis. The Napoli goalkeeper rushed out of his area to intercept a long pass from Facundo Roncaglia by the halfway line, but completely misjudged the ball which bounced over him and into the goal.NEW YORK -- Exactly how Freddy Garcia sliced his right index finger, he wouldnt say. Either way, the kitchen accident that caused a small cut next to his nail needs time to heal before he can pitch again for the New York Yankees. "A couple of days, probably," Garcia said. Sundays game between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays was rained out and no makeup date was set. It will be rescheduled as part of a doubleheader when Tampa Bay returns to Yankee Stadium on Sept. 20-22 -- that last game already is a makeup from a rainout July 8. Garcia was originally set to start Sunday. On Saturday, however, the Yankees said Garcias next outing was being pushed back because of the household mishap earlier in the week. Garcia said it occurred "like five days ago." Hed felt fine in a bullpen session since then, but later had problems with his grip for the split-fingered fastball. "I cannot go out there and not throw my best pitch," he said. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he didnt think Garcia, 10-7 with a 3.16 ERA, would need to go on the disabled list. Girardi said he hoped Garcia would be able to start in Minnesota by the end of next weekend. "I dont think its that serious," Girardi said. The Yankees pushed back their rotation by a day because of the rainout. A.J. Burnett, winless in his last seven starts, was set to start Monday night in Kansas City. Rookie Ivan Nova will go Tuesday night, followed by Bartolo Colon. This washout makes a hectic last week-and-a-half of the season for the Yankees even more scrambled, provided their playoff race with Boston and Tampaa Bay isnt decided by then.dddddddddddd The newly created doubleheader will mean New York plays 10 games in the final nine days, with all of those games against the Rays and Red Sox. The Yankees have won 11 of their last 15. They anticipate star slugger Alex Rodriguez, out since having surgery on his right knee in mid-July, rejoining them in Minnesota. "This club has persevered," Girardi said. "Weve talked about guys stepping up." Tampa Bay rejigged its rotation going into a day-night doubleheader Tuesday at Boston. The Rays will skip Wade Davis, who was scheduled to start the opener. James Shields will pitch the afternoon game and Jeff Niemann will start the night game. David Price will work Wednesday. "We dont want to skip Price or Shields," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. Maddon is no fan of day-night doubleheaders. He also said the two straight days off werent overly welcome. "I dont need a doubleheader," he said. "You dont need all that extra time now." NOTES: Burnett is 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA since beating Milwaukee on June 29. He also is 0-9 with a 6.72 ERA in his last 14 August starts, dating to 2008 with Toronto. ... Ben Zobrist and some of the Rays took swings in the indoor batting cage, while a couple other Tampa Bay players threw on the field in the rain. Shields and Price watched the Little League playoffs on television and gushed over a great catch in the outfield. The Rays planned to take an afternoon train to Boston, a three-hour trip. "Never done it before," Shields said. "Looking forward to it." cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
