COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The San Jose Sharks are off to a strong start in their quest to return to the Stanley Cup Final.Mikkel Boedker and Joel Ward scored for an early lead and Patrick Marleau had an empty-net power-play goal, leading the Sharks over the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Saturday night.Martin Jones made 26 saves for San Jose, which beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 in its season opener Wednesday.Boedkers goal was his first with the Sharks.It was nice to score and help a team get the lead and all that, said Boedker, who joined the Sharks as a free agent after stints with Colorado and Arizona. That was definitely a good one to get out of way.Zach Werenski and Josh Anderson each got their first goal for Columbus, which has lost its first two games this season.Boedker scored 9:22 into the first period when a dump-in play by Logan Couture led to a tricky rebound off goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. The puck was deflected to Boedker, who buried it over Bobrovskys left shoulder.Brenden Dillon and Couture were both credited with assists.Just over five minutes later, a pass from the corner by Brent Burns found Ward in front of the net, and he sneaked the puck under Bobrovskys right pad. Chris Tierney also earned an assist.I had a feeling (Burns) was going to swing it across, Ward said. He was going to shoot on net, so I figured it was best to play the angle where the goalie was, or he was going to throw it across. I just tried to sneak my way in the back door.Bobrovsky made 35 saves and kept the game within reach.Bobrovsky was excellent, Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. We had real quality opportunities to extend the lead and didnt. When you let a team hang around like that, youre fighting for your life down the stretch.Rookie Werenski got the Jackets on the board 3:44 into the second period on a power play. It was the first goal of Werenskis three-day-old NHL career, with assists from Alexander Wennberg and Cam Atkinson.Zach is a guy you can see, especially tonight, how he can control the game with the puck, said Columbus coach John Tortorella. We have a lot of teaching to do with him without the puck. Thats our job as coaches. The God-given ability he has, its at a different level than a lot of players at this league.Brandon Dubinsky went off for tripping at 2:08, and the Jackets pulled Bobrovsky at 1:20, but Marleau slammed the door with his empty-netter with 33 seconds left.Anderson scored with 23 seconds left.Game notesColumbus Ryan Murray, injured while blocking a shot in the season-opening loss to the Bruins, missed his first game after playing 85 consecutive games. ...

Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken.

The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Katie Ledecky came into the Rio Olympics facing enormous expectations.Some athletes mightve buckled under the pressure.She seemed to thrive on it.The 19-year-old from suburban Washington capped off one of the greatest performances in Olympic history with her fourth gold medal and second world record, shattering her own mark in the 800-meter freestyle Friday night.I just wanted to lay it all out there, Ledecky said.She certainly did that.And more.Ledecky and Debbie Meyers are now the only female swimmers to sweep the three longest freestyle races. Meyers took the 200, 400 and 800 at Mexico City in 1968.She also followed fellow swimmers Amy Van Dyken and Missy Franklin as the only American women to win as many as four golds in a single Olympics. Along with her individual golds, Ledecky also topped the podium with the 4x200 relay.I hit all my goals right on the nose this week, Ledecky said. Im just proud to be part of that history.Four years ago, she seemingly came out nowhere to capture gold as a 15-year-old at the London Games. Then, after her coach moved to the West Coast, Ledecky hooked up with Bruce Gemmell and never missed a beat.She called it a testament to the vision that Bruce and I had three years ago when we set these goals, and we werent going to stop until we met them.As was the case in the 400 free,, where she also broke her own world record, Ledecky was merely racing the clock as she powered away from the field to touch in 8 minutes, 4.dddddddddddd.79 seconds, eclipsing the mark of 8:06.68 that she set at a grand prix meet in Texas back in January.The goal was 8:05 or better, she said.Naturally, she was better.Then, Ledecky played the waiting game, hanging on the rope for a while to let the rest of the field finish.Jazz Karlin finally touched in 8:16.17 to claim the silver, just ahead of Hungarys Boglarka Kapas grabbing the bronze in 8:16.37.Some 23 seconds after Ledecky touched the wall, the last of the eight finalists chugged to the end of the grueling race.Ledecky was barely breathing hard.On the medal stand, though, the emotions swept over her.She broke down in tears, relishing her accomplishments and surely thinking about all the work she put in to make it there.The Olympics are the pinnacle of our sport and I have to wait another four years to have that moment and I just wanted to enjoy it, Ledecky said. The memories mean more than the medals to me.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 . His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/paul-newberry . ' ' '
