ST. Larry Fitzgerald White Jersey . JOHNS, N.L. —Slow starts have plagued the St. Johns IceCaps this season and Sunday was no exception. Ray Kaunisto scored just 20 seconds into the game and Jeff Zatkoff made 27 saves as the Manchester Monarchs shut out the IceCaps 3-0 in American Hockey League action. “We dug ourselves a hole in both games, and our record shows we dont play well from behind,” IceCaps captain Jason Jaffray. “Weve given up first period leads in quite a few games in the last couple of week. “Its tough to come back, especially the last 15-20 games of the season, they got tougher as we get closer to the playoffs. Its something we need to fix.” Zatkoff made 13 of his saves in the third period, and Kaunisto, Justin Azevedo and Andrei Loktionov scored for the Monarchs (33-29-3). The IceCaps (38-18-7) got off to another slow start after allowing the first goal of the game on the first shot they faced. St. Johns head coach Keith McCambridge had a feeling the game might not go their way after the early goal. “Its tough to dig out of that hole. Youre sitting on the bench and youre wondering, is this going to be one of those nights?” Manchester went ahead when Kaunisto took a pass from Jake Muzzin and streaked down the left boards. He released a wrist shot from a weak angle, but it found its way into the net thanks to a screen. St.Johns all-star defencman, and leading points-scorer, Paul Postma collided in what appeared to be a knee-on-knee collision just minutes after the goal. Postma laid near-motionless on the ice for several minutes before teammates helped him to the bench. “I know that hes day-to-day,” McCambridge. “When I saw him he was just icing down. He hasnt left the building as far as I know.” IceCaps starter Ed Pasquale, who finished with 18 saves, made several key saves to keep his team in the game, especially during power-play opportunities in the second period that included a 5-on-3 for Manchester. The Monarchs wasted no time in the third period. Azevedo broke into the zone and wired a wrist shot into the top corner at 5:05. Loktionov hopped on a loose puck and skated the length of the ice to deposit it in the IceCaps net to cap the scoring at 19:21. The IceCaps now have six road games before returning home in April.

Saturday night in Tampa may have been the Jets best game of the season.SANTA CLARA, Calif. —Steven Lenhart scored in second-half stoppage time to give the San Jose Earthquakes a 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders that extended their lead atop the MLS standings on Saturday night. Lenhart headed home a Shea Salinas corner kick from the top of Seattles 6-yard box in the 93rd minute. The Earthquakes (14-5-5) moved four points clear of Sporting Kansas City, their nearest pursuers in the Supporters Shield chase. Simon Dawkins put San Jose ahead in the 71st minute, but Fredy Montero appeared to save a road point for Seattle with a 92nd-minute header from point-blank range on a weak San Jose clearance. That was before Lenhart struck for another late goal for San Jose, which has scored a league-best 17 times after the 75th minute this season. San Jose is unbeaten in its last 13 matches at home, going 9-0-4 since Aug. 13, 2011. The loss snapped a six-game MMLS unbeaten streak for the Sounders (10-6-7), who were playing their third match in seven days. Larry Fitzgerald Elite Jersey. Dawkins wheeled on a headed pass from Lenhart and beat Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning to the near post from 12 yards. Seattle forward Sammy Ochoa, making his first career MLS regular-season start as the busy Sounders battled fatigue, put a ball off the crossbar in each half, finding the woodwork with a 32nd-minute bicycle kick and a 59th-minute header. The Sounders had chances to equalize in the closing minutes but couldnt cash in. Eddie Johnson pushed a header just over the crossbar in the 73rd minute, and Brad Evans booming shot from 14 yards was blocked with a full-body slide by San Jose midfielder Sam Cronin. The win was a measure of revenge for San Jose, which was knocked out of the U.S. Open Cup by Seattle in a contentious June 26 quarterfinal. ’ ’ ’
