LOS ANGELES -- Jonathan Quicks Olympic goaltending audition for U.S. national team coach Dan Bylsma ended after three Pittsburgh goals in one rocky period. All that proves to Bylsma is that his Penguins are awfully good. Jussi Jokinen had a goal and two assists in the first period, Evgeni Malkin scored in the opening minute, and Pittsburgh chased Quick early in a 4-1 victory over the struggling Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night. Chris Kunitz and Tanner Glass both scored in their second straight game for the Penguins, who opened a two-game West Coast road trip with the franchises first regulation victory at Staples Center. Former Kings farmhand Jeff Zatkoff made 30 saves in the Eastern Conference leaders fourth win in five games. Quick didnt exactly make a stellar argument to Bylsma for the starting job in Sochi, giving up three goals on the Penguins first five shots before Martin Jones replaced him for the final two periods. Quick is competing with Detroits Jimmy Howard and Buffalos Ryan Miller, who was beaten 3-0 by the Penguins on Monday. "Its one game I get to see live, but ... Ive seen a lot of him," Bylsma said of Quick. "Its not a good outing for him, but hes got a body of work thats more than just this game." Quick was hurt by the NHLs best power play: Kunitz scored his career-high 27th goal on a two-man advantage, and Jokinen added his 16th moments later. Quick has started 13 of the Kings 14 games since returning from a 24-game injury absence. "If you give any team a 5-on-3, theyre going to create chances," Quick said. "They get one there, and then they get a 2-on-1 where they beat me over the shoulder. At that point, were not out of the game. We just couldnt get it together enough to get a couple (of goals)." Jokinen, a Finnish Olympian, had been in a three-game scoring drought in an otherwise stellar season. He credited this outburst to his mothers rare chance to see him play live: Most of the Penguins mothers are travelling with the club on this short trip. "I had a good first period, so I probably have to fly my mother here more than once a year," Jokinen said. Anze Kopitar scored his third goal in five games for the Kings, but those are the only goals scored in the last nine days by the Kings, who have lost seven of eight. The Kings had played their last eight games away from Staples Center, including last weekends "home" game at Dodger Stadium. Theyve got a four-game homestand heading into the Olympic break, but still havent solved their scoring woes. "They are a high-powered team," Los Angeles defenceman Matt Greene said. "Its tough to come back when you arent scoring a lot of goals, and when you give up two on the penalty kill. Its tough chasing in a game against a team like this." The Staples Center crowd gave a reasonably warm welcome to Pittsburgh defenceman Rob Scuderi, who anchored the Kings defence during their Stanley Cup championship run in 2012 before leaving Los Angeles as a free agent last summer. But the high-scoring Penguins decisively won their matchup against the NHLs best defensive team, and they did it early. Just 53 seconds in, Jokinen made a spectacular no-look pass across the crowded crease to Malkin for his 15th goal. Kopitar evened it with a rocket of a shot from the faceoff circle midway through the period for the 16th goal by Slovenias only NHL Olympian. After Jarret Stoll and Dustin Brown were hit with penalties at the same time, Kunitz scored in front of Quick after tic-tac-toe passing from Jokinen and Sidney Crosby. Jokinen put the Penguins up 3-1 just 57 seconds later, ripping a one-timer past Quicks glove. Glass beat Jones with a sharp-angled backhand late in the second period for his fourth goal. "We were confident all along," Glass said. "We had a great start. Our power play was awesome, and then we were stingy when we had to be." NOTES: Pittsburgh scratched D Kris Letang with an illness. ... Jones and Zatkoff were AHL teammates from 2010-12. ... Pittsburgh hadnt visited Staples Center since Nov. 5, 2011, when Kunitz scored a late tying goal and the shootout winner. ... Pittsburgh C Brandon Sutter is Kings coach Darryl Sutters nephew.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Isaiah Thomas scored 19 points and Washington held off Georgia, 68-65, in a second-round contest from the East Region in the NCAA Tournament. Scott Suggs added 10 points for the Huskies (24-10), who will match up with second-seeded North Carolina on Sunday. Washington, seeded seventh, won a game in the state of North Carolina for the first time in school history (1-8). They had to survive a last-second missed shot from Travis Leslie to advance to the round of 32. Its gratifying we won, Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. For me, as a coach, you better have some thick skin. You cant get caught up in the criticisms all the time. Trey Thompkins had 26 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulldogs (21-12), who also received 12 points apiece from Gerald Robinson and Leslie and 11 from Jeremy Price. The Huskies nearly wasted a 10-point lead with under two minutes left. A long three-pointer from Thompkins had Georgia within two with 5.4 seconds to go. C.J. Wilcox then made the front end of a 1-and-1 with 3.7 seconds on the clock, but missed the second attempt. Prices long outlet pass was tipped away by a leaping Thomas, but right into the hands of Leslie. The desperation off- balance three from the left wing hit high off the backboard as time expired. Prices layup to start the second half moved the Bulldogs to a 30-28 lead, but the Huskkies responded with a 12-2 burst, capped by Darnell Gants three- pointer.dddddddddddd That spurt was the momentum-changer, and Wilcoxs jumper made it a double- digit lead at 47-37 with 12 minutes left. The sizeable lead remained until the final two minutes. We know teams are going to go on runs in the NCAA Tournament and we feel we have a lot of experience to stop those runs, Thomas said. We got some stops at the end of the game and got some buckets. Prices layup, two free throws from Leslie and a layup from Thompkins, sandwiched between a pair of foul shots from Thomas, had the Bulldogs within 65-59. A free throw from Dustin Ware and a layup from Robinson set up Thomas two made foul shots and the dramatic finish. The Pac-10 Tournament champions trailed by seven with under four minutes left in the first half, but Thomas layup in the closing seconds tied the game at 28 at the break. Our defense really wasnt nearly as effective to start the second half, so we dug ourselves a hole, Georgia coach Mark Fox said. I think they shot over 50 percent in the second half. We were playing from behind. A lot of it was our second shot defense. GAME NOTES:Thomas also had seven assists...Both teams shot at least 50 percent from the field in the second half...The Huskies had just five turnovers, 10 less than Georgia...Washingtons bench held a 28-0 scoring advantage. cheap nfl jerseys cheap soccer jerseys ' ' '
