ST. LOUIS -- Vladimir Tarasenko is known for his goal-scoring ability. Now hes starting to show other parts of his game.Tarasenko had a goal and two assists and Alex Pietrangelo scored the go-ahead goal as the St. Louis Blues beat the New Jersey Devils 5-2 on Thursday night.Jori Lehtera, Nail Yakupov and Patrik Berglund also scored for the Blues, who overcame an early two-goal deficit. Jake Allen made 24 saves as St. Louis improved to 13-1-3 on home ice.Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said Tarasenko is showing an all-around game.The part that was good for me was in the third period, he competed defensively, Hitchcock said. Thats a big step. He was willing to work for the next goal if it came, and I think thats just maturity in a player. I think youre starting to see the maturity in a player, which is a really good sign for this franchise.Adam Henrique and Miles Wood scored for the Devils, while Cory Schneider made 26 saves. New Jerseys losing streak is at a season-high four games and the Devils dropped their seventh straight game against St. Louis.Henrique gave the Devils a 1-0 lead with a short-handed goal at 7:39 of the first period. Tarasenko whiffed on a shot from the point for the Blues, sending Henrique and Travis Zajac in on a 2-on-1.Wood scored 4 minutes later to give the Devils a 2-0 lead. Wood put it in an open net after Henriques initial shot went wide and caromed off the boards in front of the net.Tarasenko got the Blues on the board when he scored his second goal in three games on the power play with 2:54 left in the first period. Brad Hunt got an assist and has a point in all four games with the Blues since being called up from the AHL on Dec. 8.I thought the one that got us going was the first goal, Hitchcock said. Hes (Tarasenko) not feeling great, hes on for both goals, and then to get one back on the power play kind of just brought us back. To me, we were off and running after that goal.Schneider said Tarasenko has one of the best shots in the league.He can hold his stick up high, he can look you off or just shoot it at a moments notice without any windup or anything like that, Schneider said. Hes always been a tough guy to play against and to read and hes obviously one of the premier players in the league.Lehtera deflected a shot by Robby Fabbri for the Blues at 2:05 of the second period to tie it 2-2. It was Lehteras fourth goal of the season and first since Nov. 22 at Boston.Tarasenko found Pietrangelo through the back door for an even strength goal to give the Blues a 3-2 lead at 7:45 of the second period.Not a set play, but 4-on-4 is more of a creative game, Tarasenko said. We have really good players like Alex and he can read the game well so if he gets open its easier to get the puck to him.The three-point night gave Tarasenko 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in his last five games.When you shoot the way he does, goalies and d-men really have to respect it, Pietrangelo said. It opens up a lot of seams.Yakupov made it 4-2 in the third period with his this third goal of the season and first since Oct. 20.Tarasenko has 22 assists through 31 games and is on pace for a career-high 58.St. Louis tightened defensively, holding the Devils without a shot for the first 11:23 of the second period.Game notes Blues D Kevin Shattenkirk dressed in his 395th game, tying Jimmy Roberts for 12th on the all-time franchise list among defensemen. ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- If ever a team could use a week off , it would Illinois after Saturdays 34-10 home loss to Western Michigan.The Broncos (3-0) have now beaten two Big Ten teams this fall, and theyre getting a handful of votes in the Top 25 . The way they won left the Illini (1-2) groping for answers.Illinois rushed for a paltry 3 yards, while giving up 287 yards on the ground and 487 total. The Illini trailed 24-7 at halftime to a team they scheduled as a likely win, and one the University of Illinois paid $1.2 million to make the trip to Champaign.I dont know was the go-to line for many players as they tried to explain what went wrong.The one thing the Illini cant do as they open the Big Ten season Oct. 1 at No. 20 Nebraska is dwell on the loss to the Broncos, Illinois coach Lovie Smith said.You have to have a short memory, he said. What you cant do is let Western Michigan beat you twice.A lot went wrong against the Broncos. Tackling was a problem. Both the offensive and defensive lines were dominated at times. And Smiith said his quarterback, Wes Lunt, did not throw the ball down field when he could and should have.ddddddddddddSmith said this weeks practices would be more like training camp than the typical in-season practice routine, focused on fundamentals.Just three games into the season, Lunt and other players are talking about the need to do something like soul searching before they begin a run of conference games that will start with the Cornhuskers and include both No. 4 Michigan and No. 8 Michigan State over six weeks.I think it might be a good thing with the bye. We can kind of look each other in the eyes this next week and see what we need to get better on and really focus on ourselves, Lunt said. Because I think thats the problem, ourselves more than anybody else.Added tight end Ainslee Johnson, Weve just got to communicate better as an offense and just not look to point the finger at each other.
