Washington, DC (SportsNetwork. Cheap Nike Shoes From China .com) - Alex Steen had two goals and an assist to guide the St. Louis Blues in a 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Sunday. Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and an assist, Dmitrij Jaskin lit the lamp, and T.J. Oshie added three assists for the Blues, who have won 10 of their last 11 with the only loss during that run an overtime defeat to Detroit on Jan. 15. Brian Elliott had 33 saves in the win. We worked really hard for these points, said Oshie. Its great that we came away with two here and hopefully we learned something about how to win on the road. Alex Ovechkin scored twice and added a helper and Karl Alzner also scored for the Capitals, who have dropped six of their last seven. Justin Peters allowed all four goals on 40 shots. We have to play hard to pass the teams ahead us, said Washington head coach Barry Trotz. We had a chance to make up some ground, but we let a chance to pick up some points slip away from us. St. Louis drew first blood at 2:34 of the first period while on the power play. Oshies slap shot from the left point was stopped and Jaden Schwartz put the rebound on net. That was stopped as well, but Steen was there to put home the third chance for a 1-0 lead. Washington, though, answered near the midway mark of the first with a power- play goal of its own as sharp puck movement was finished off by a one-timer from Ovechkin from the left point. It was his 30th goal of the season, the 10th time in his 10 seasons that he has reached that mark. He became the fifth player in NHL history to accomplish that feat, joining Mike Bossy, Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri and Mike Gartner. Just over five minutes into the second, St. Louis David Backes was thrown out and given a five-minute major for boarding Alzner, but the Capitals were unable to take advantage of the long power play. A little after killing off the penalty, the Blues went on top when Steen scored his second of the game off his own rebound to finish off a rush play at 11:45. It was Ovechkin again, though, three minutes later as a turnover in the St. Louis end saw him get the puck at the left circle and fired a shot that tipped off a St. Louis stick and went in to tie the game. The Blues, though, took a 3-2 lead into the second intermission as Jaskin swept in a rebound during a scrum in front at 15:57. St. Louis grabbed a 4-2 lead at 6:13 of the third as a 2-on-1 saw Steen fire a pass from the left wing to the right where Tarasenko finished it off for his 25th goal of the season. The Caps made it a one-goal game with 7:32 to play as Alzner threw a shot on net from the left point that made its way past a maze of players for his fourth of the season. St. Louis, though, did a good job keeping the puck away from the Caps during the final minute, as Washington was unable to pull its goalie until late and couldnt net the equalizer.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry received the NBAs yearlong community assist award, spoke passionately about his charitable works, then dished out another assist to his former coach. In his first extended public comments since Mark Jackson was fired, Curry said Thursday that he voiced his support for the coach but the team "made a decision otherwise." He also said the "semi-quick hire" of Steve Kerr was "kind of a shock" to most of his teammates. "Theres no sugarcoating it -- it was a weird, expedited situation that we didnt see coming," Curry said. "And guys are human. You have to be able to adjust to it and have some time to respond. Thats kind of what happened. I think well be fine once we have a clear picture of whats going on next year." Curry had been the strongest supporter of Jackson before the Warriors dismissed the coach May 6 after a 51-win season and back-to-back playoff appearances. Golden State agreed to a five-year, $25 million deal with Kerr on May 14 and introduced him at a news conference in Oakland on May 20. Even with owner Joe Lacob and general manager Bob Myers going against Currys request, the All-Star point guard insists he still believes in the franchises commitment to winning. "One thing I can say about this organization, they want to win," Curry said. "Each decision is geared toward winning. Thats something that flies well with a lot of players -- that theyre going to try to put us in the best position to win. Obviously, I had a certain opinion of Coach Jackson that they made a decision otherwise, and I heard the reasons, but I wont dwell on it. "As long as were focused on winning and taking advantage of the roster we have and the opportunity we have with this window to try to continue to get better, Im just looking forward to next year and getting back to making that happen," Curry said. "I havent lost faith in that at all. As much as I supported Coach Jackson and loved everything about playing for him, I think theyree about winning. Cheap Sneakers Authentic. " Curry said he has spoken to Kerr three or four times by phone already. He said the conversations have been more informal than any basketball strategy, and hes looking forward to in-person meetings after Kerr finishes his job as a broadcast analyst for TNT in the Western Conference finals. Curry said his support of Jackson stems from their bond off the court and his memories of the organization before the coach arrived: a lot of losses -- and two ankle surgeries -- under Don Nelson and Keith Smart. "He was a sign of stability for me," Curry said. "I had three coaches in three years, and he embodies what I know is good around here with the Warriors -- winning and that kind of feel. It was a lot different in my first few years." But Curry said he will adjust, learn Kerrs style and play just as hard for him as he did for Jackson. And he has no doubt his teammates will, too. "At the end of the day, all of the guys in the locker room are trying to win," Curry said. "I know Steve Kerr has that mentality and that mission as well. Those two things will align, and well be fine." Earlier, Curry was awarded the NBAs 2013-14 Kia Community Assist Seasonlong Award in front of a crowd on Golden States practice floor that included many of the individuals and groups he impacted. Currys charity of choice, ThanksUSA, will receive $25,000 from the NBA and Kia Motors. ThanksUSA provides college, technical and vocational school scholarships for children and spouses of active-duty military personnel. Curry has served as a spokesman for the charity since 2010. Currys other charitable works included distributing 38,000 bed nets in Tanzania last summer with the "Nothing But Nets" campaign. He also helped raise money for the fight against malaria in Africa by donating three bed nets for every 3-pointer he made. Curry called the award a "huge honour" and a team effort. He thanked his family, agents, members of the Warriors, the NBA, and several organizations for partnering with him. ' ' '
