WINNIPEG - There has been no sophomore slump for Ryan Strome.The New York Islanders second-year forward enjoyed a career-high four-point game with a goal and three assists in the Islanders 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday.His linemate, centre Frans Nielsen, also shone with a pair of goals and one assist.I just wanted to fit in, said the 21-year-old Strome, whos played all 37 games this season, matching the number he played all last year with the Islanders.At the beginning, I had some trouble finding my spot in training camp. And the coaches kind of threw me a bone and I thought I played well enough to stick around and Im just trying to take the ball and run with it.Linemate Anders Lee also netted a goal and added an assist and Josh Bailey scored an empty-netter for New York (25-11-1), which is 6-1-1 in its last eight games.Its not every night you get four points, Strome said. Obviously, I dont like to judge the game based on the points, but its definitely good to contribute.Obviously, I think our line had a pretty good game and pretty solid in the (defensive) zone. Its always good to help out.Captain Andrew Ladd scored twice for Winnipeg (19-12-7).It was the first back-to-back loss for the Jets since late November. They lost 3-2 to Minnesota on Monday.You dont want to become complacent, Ladd said. For me, it stings and you still have a tough feeling in this room, but at the same time were in the mix of a pretty big battle here to keep going and find a way to get points.Come to the rink with a lower bottom lip thats hanging down isnt going to help so weve got to come back with some energy in practise and really just focus on trying to get better that day.Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak made 21 saves for the win. Ondrej Pavelec, who started for the first time since rookie Michael Hutchinson got the call in net for the previous three games, stopped 28 shots.Strome scored his seventh goal of the season midway through the first period off a weird bounce in traffic around the net.After the puck went high in the air to the right of Pavelec, Jets defenceman Adam Pardy tried to bat it away and it dropped to the ice and hit Lee and Strome before going into the net at 10:04.Ryans a skill guy, but a lot of skill guys dont perform well in the NHL, Islanders head coach Jack Capuano said of the teams fifth overall pick in the 2011 NHL draft. It takes a little bit of time because they dont want to play without the puck.Everyone can play with the puck. His game away from the puck has picked up. He had to get to the interior. He had to get to those tough, greasy areas if he wanted to perform, because a lot of his points in the American (Hockey) League (with Bridgeport) were outside.Nielsen made it 2-0 with a goal scored 16 seconds into a 30-second, two-man advantage late in the period.As Johnny Boychuk fired a one-timer toward the net, his stick broke and the puck went across to Nielsen at the right side of the net, whose high shot went in at 18:16.Ladd scored one second after a New York penalty expired off a Blake Wheeler pass from behind the net at 4:41. Wheeler extended his points streak to four games with two goals and three assists.Nielsen did the bulk of the work for his second goal of the game and eighth of the season following a Winnipeg turnover.After skating down the boards with the puck, Nielsen made a drop pass to Strome and then went across to the faceoff circle. Strome sent him the puck and he fired it by Pavelec at 15:27 for a 3-1 lead.Its a line that we put together recently, Capuano said. The last couple of games its been good for us.Ladd used a third-period man advantage to score his 14th goal of the season 47 seconds into the period off a pass from Mathieu Perreault to the slot.Bryan Little assisted on the goal to extend his points streak to five games with two goals and four assists.But it was Lees ninth goal of the season that made it 4-2 at 11:35 of the third that was a bit of a back-breaker, Perreault said.The 4-2 goal was hard on us. It was one of those plays, its kind of bang, bang around the players and then hit a skate or something, went up and goes into the net, he said. Tough bounces, it probably turned the game around right there.Bailey scored into the empty net at 19:28.The Jets continue their four-game homestand Saturday against Toronto.It was the first game of a seven-game road trip for the Islanders, who play in Calgary on Saturday.

LOUIS -- Tim Hudson still refuses to take credit for his quick start to the season. "There comes a lot of luck with it," he said. "Im just throwing the ball and missing (bat) barrels." The San Francisco right-hander threw seven shutout innings and Joaquin Arias keyed a four-run first inning with a two-run single to lead the Giants to an 8-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. The Giants have won five of six and have the best record in the NL at 37-20. St. Louis has lost four of five. The Cardinals managed just four hits. Hudson (6-2) gave up three hits, struck out six, and walked two in improving to 4-4 against St. Louis. Hudsons previous win against the Cardinals came on July 19, 2007, as a member of the Atlanta Braves. He retired the last 11 batters he faced on Sunday. The 38-year-old has a 1.75 ERA, second in the NL, and has gone at least seven innings in nine of 11 starts. Hudson missed the final two months of last season with a fractured ankle, but has rebounded with one of the best starts of his 14-year career. Hudson took control early after his teammates gave him four early runs. "Great job," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "You go seven innings and no runs against this club, youre doing something." Catcher Buster Posey said Hudson simply keeps rolling along. "Nothing fancy, he just goes out there and pitches to contact, like he always does," Posey said. "Hes smart and he knows how to attack the hitters. Hudson said he was able to relax after the early run support. "I just went out there and tried to pound the strike zone," he said. "A starting pitcher always welcomes early runs. It makes our job a whole lot easier." Arias came through with a key hit. He got the start after Michael Morse fouled a ball off his left foot in batting practice. In his second start in the past 24 games, Arias went 3 for 4 with three RBIs. He broke out of a 0-for-14 skid with a bases-loaded single in the first. "He stays ready and hes got a lot of poise," BBochy said.dddddddddddd "He really needed a game like this." Morse is expected back in the lineup on Tuesday when the Giants play at Cincinnati, according to Bochy. Posey had three hits in returning to the lineup after missing three games with tightness in his lower back. "I feel pretty good," Posey said. "Hopefully, it is something I can manage." Lance Lynn (6-3) gave up seven runs, four earned, and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings after posting his first career shutout on Tuesday against the York Yankees. "One of those days where that will happen," Lynn said. "A tough one." Angel Pagan, Hunter Pence and Posey singled to start the four-run first. Poseys RBI hit came on Lynns 10th pitch. Gregor Blanco reached on an error by Kolten Wong and Pence scored on a groundout by Brandon Crawford. Brandon Hicks walked to set the stage for Arias bases-loaded single. The error, on a potential double play ball, led to three unearned runs. "If an out is made there," Lynn said. "We are out of the inning with one run." Arias pushed the lead to 5-0 with a run-scoring single in the third. Crawford added an RBI double in the fourth. Blanco brought in the final run with a triple in the sixth. "Youre just going to have those days," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "We just couldnt get anything going." St. Louis third baseman Matt Carpenter extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a first-inning single. It is the longest current streak in the NL.
