ST. LOUIS -- Kevin Shattenkirk didnt know if the puck was tipped or not. The defenceman didnt care much, either. The bottom line for Shattenkirk and the Blues was that his shot helped them win a hockey game. Shattenkirks first goal of the season midway through the third period sent St. Louis to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. Shattenkirks wrist shot from the right point got through traffic at 10:52 of the third period. Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury got a piece of the puck but it trickled into the net to break a 1-all tie. "It was a great play," said Shattenkirk, who extended his point streak to eight games. "Our forwards did a great job keeping the puck alive. Get a D-to-D pass from (Barret Jackman) and throw it to the net. "We still dont know" if the puck was tipped by Vladimir Tarasenko, who was screening Fleury. "We think someone might have tipped it, but for now, Ill take it." Ryan Reaves also scored for St. Louis and Jaroslav Halak stopped 19 shots as the Blues won for the 11th time in 15 games to start the season. Its the first time theyve done that since 2003-04, also the best start in franchise history. "I think Pittsburghs competitiveness made us play 60 minutes," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "I thought we got stronger and stronger as the game went on. Our third period was our best. Our second was awfully good, too." It was St. Louis first regulation victory against the Penguins since a 4-1 win Dec. 19, 2006, in Pittsburgh. "I thought we played a really smart, strong, hard hockey game. Both teams competed at a very high level," Hitchcock said. "It was a playoff game and we scored the big goal in the third period, but we played a heck of a third period." Jussi Jokinen scored and Fleury made 30 saves for the Penguins, who have dropped two straight after a four-game winning streak. The 20 shots were a season low for Pittsburgh. "They are probably the best in the league playing this defensive-minded, checking game," Jokinen said of the Blues. "We still generated enough chances to score three or four goals, but we didnt bury those chances." Reaves scored the first goal of the game and the 11th of his career when he redirected Maxim Lapierres centring feed past Fleury 2:52 into the second period. "I dont think anyone really knew I was coming on the ice," Reaves said. "It was a late change. He had some good patience to see me backdoor and just a great pass." The Penguins were able to get the equalizer when Jokinen, parked in the slot, redirected Evgeni Malkins centring feed from the right circle 8:06 into the second. Roman Polak was serving an interference penalty for the Blues. "The game was almost as expected -- the tightness of the game and the matchups," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "There wasnt a lot out there." Shattenkirk and Chris Stewart gave the Blues their best scoring chances in the first period. Shattenkirks shot from the right circle was stopped by Fleury 5:33 into the game. Stewart missed on a backhand at the side of the Pittsburgh net after getting a pass from Patrik Berglund with 8:33 left in the first period. Halak was up to the task for the Blues in the first, stopping Chris Kunitzs one-time snap shot of Sidney Crosbys no-look pass with 10:17 remaining. Halak then had Crosby barrelling down on him from the left side after T.J Oshies turnover, but the Blues goalie made a save with his right arm as Crosby tried going high on the short side with 3:45 remaining in the opening period. Fleury preserved a 1-all tie by stopping Oshie with 16:15 remaining, then getting a shoulder on David Backes one-timer after Oshies feed with 10:45 to play. Fleury flashed his glove on Alexander Steens wrister with 5:14 left off a 2-on-1 to keep the Penguins within a goal at 2-1. But he lamented the fact that he didnt see Shattenkirks shot get through. "I dont know. Ive got to see it again," Fleury said. "Who got the goal? Was the guy in front? I want to see it again." The Blues dont care. All that mattered to them is that it went in. "Well see when we wake up tomorrow," Shattenkirk said. "Either way, it was a good effort there by everyone to open up that opportunity. I think the hard work that we had through the entire third period is what led to that goal." NOTES: The Blues are one of four teams that havent allowed a goal to Crosby in his career.

The deal was the talk of the baseball world. But the games power brokers didnt seem too interested in talking about the trade in public, perhaps waiting to see its full scope. "Not today, boys," Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria said as he strolled by a group of reporters. NEW YORK -- At least CC Sabathia was honest. The big left-hander tossed eight stingy innings against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, leading the New York Yankees to a resounding 8-3 victory and becoming the first big league pitcher to reach the 10-win plateau this season. "I wish I could say it meant something, but it dont," he said with a shrug and a sly smile. "Were here to win championships. Thats what were trying to do." The way hes been pitching, the Yankees should have a pretty good chance. A dozen pitchers began the day with nine wins, but Sabathia (10-4) won the race to double digits. The former Cy Young winner allowed one run while striking out nine, improving to 19-7 all-time in interleague play. Sabathia has lost once since May 14, pitching into the seventh inning every time. "Hes the same guy every day," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He just goes out and pitches and wins ballgames. Thats what he does." Sabathia threw just 103 pitches Saturday, but Girardi decided against letting him finish the game. Buddy Carlyle promptly gave up Ty Wiggintons two-run homer in the ninth. Seth Smith drove in the Rockies only other run with a pinch-hit single in the eighth. "CC shone tonight. He was good," the Rockies Jason Giambi said. "He had a great tilt on his slider. I had a hard time picking up between slider and fastball. He hid the ball really well, and he was lights out tonight, and thats what he normally does. Hes there big ace." Alex Rodriguez drove in three runs, Mark Teixeira added a two-run homer for New York, Jorge Posada had three hits and the Yankees pounded out 15 total. Everybody in their starting lineup had a hit off starter Aaron Cook (0-3) except Robinson Cano, who went 0 for 4 for the second straight game. "Those guys scoring runs makes it smooth," Sabathia said. "I felt like I needed to put my foot on the gas today, go out and be aggressive and throw strikes." The Yankees lost the series opener 4-2 on Friday night, and together with a series sweep four years ago at Coors Field, had lost four straight to the Rockies. They didnt waste any time jumping ahead Saturday. Brett Gardner laid down a perfect bunt toward third on Cooks first pitchh and Wigginton didnt even bother making a throw to first.dddddddddddd Gardner swiped second base with ease, then sped home when Curtis Granderson dribbled a single through the right side of the infield. Outfielder Eric Young bobbled the ball and Granderson wound up at second. The error proved costly moments later when A-Rods base hit gave New York a 2-0 lead. Granderson and Rodriguez helped add three more runs in the third. New Yorks hot-hitting outfielder started off with a blooper to left, and Teixeira followed with a rocket to centre that put runners on second and third. A-Rod then went opposite field for a two-run double, and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Nick Swisher, sliding head first to beat the throw from Ryan Spilborghs at the plate. "For a right-handed thrower, thats a tough throw," Rodriguez said, "so I took a chance." Back-to-back doubles by Swisher and Posada made it 6-0 in the sixth. Most of that offence was unnecessary with Sabathia on the mound, though thats been the norm this season. His run-support average is the highest in the major leagues. It helped that Rockies manager Jim Tracy seemed to concede defeat. He took star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki out in the seventh inning, and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez and leading hitter Todd Helton left the game in the eighth. By then, the Rockies had squandered their best scoring opportunities. Spilborghs led off the fifth with a double and reached third base before Sabathia wiggled out of trouble. In the sixth, Young and Helton opened with consecutive singles before Tulowitzki grounded into a double play and Giambi went down swinging. "When youre facing a guy the magnitude of CC Sabathia, you cant give them a four or five-run head start," Tracy said. "Thats just a very difficult chore to come back from." NOTES: Cook allowed six runs, five earned, on 12 hits in 5 2-3 innings. ... A-Rod said his right knee is bothering him, though not enough to prevent him from playing. ... Derek Jeter (right calf) took 27 swings off a tee and 30 swings of soft toss Saturday at the Yankees spring training complex. ... Rockies closer Huston Street was unavailable after saving Friday nights win. Tracy said there was some soreness in Streets groin area. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
