SAN JOSE, Calif. Xavier Grimble Jersey . - Nicklas Backstrom scored the winning goal in the shootout to lead the Washington Capitals to their first win in San Jose in more than 20 years, 3-2 over the Sharks on Saturday night. Eric Fehr and Chris Brown scored in regulation for the Capitals, who had lost 11 times and tied once since winning their first game at the Shark Tank on Oct. 30, 1993. This is only Washingtons second win in its last 19 games overall against San Jose. Braden Holtby made 34 saves in his first start since March 6 in place of the banged-up Jaroslav Halak. Patrick Marleau and James Sheppard scored for the Sharks, who missed a chance to clinch their 10th straight playoff berth. Antti Niemi made 23 saves. Evgeny Kuznetsov put the Capitals ahead in the shootout when he scored in the opening round. But Marleau tied it in the third round before Backstrom beat Niemi for the winner. The Capitals had lost five straight shootouts while San Jose had won seven in a row in the tiebreaker. The Sharks appeared poised to clinch the playoffs when Sheppard blocked a shot by Jason Chimera early in the third period and then scored on a breakaway against Holtby to put San Jose up 2-1. But the Capitals got the equalizer when they got a fortunate bounce with 7:30 remaining. Dustin Penner took the puck from Scott Hannan behind the net and fed Brown, whose shot deflected off defenceman Dan Boyle and past Niemi for his first career goal. The Sharks lost two of three on this homestand, beating Anaheim in a showdown for first place in between losses to Washington and Florida — two Eastern Conference teams out of playoff position. San Jose is three points ahead of the Ducks in the Pacific Division although Anaheim has two games in hand. The game was more crucial to Washingtons playoff hopes. The Capitals have earned points in five straight games to tie Detroit for eighth place in the East with 79 points. The Red Wings have two games in hand. The Capitals jumped on top with help from a lucky bounce and a strong forecheck. Jason Chimera got the puck away from Logan Couture along the boards to set up Fehr for a shot that was blocked. Justin Braun tried to clear the puck out of danger, but it hit teammate Matt Nieto in the leg and bounced into the net for a goal credited to Fehr. Nieto helped the Sharks tie it in the closing seconds of the period when he put a wraparound attempt on net following a turnover by Mike Green. Holtby made the save on the initial shot, but Marleau knocked in the rebound following a scramble for 30th goal with 5.6 seconds remaining. NOTES: Marleau has seven career 30-goal seasons. ... The Capitals have as many wins (two) in the Cow Palace, where the Sharks played their first two seasons, as they have at the Shark Tank, which opened in 1993-94. ... This game finishes a stretch where the Sharks played 13 of 14 games against the Eastern Conference. They wont play the East again this season unless they make the Stanley Cup finals.

Pistorius mindset when he stood on his stumps in a bathroom and pulled the trigger on his 9 mm pistol in the early hours of Feb. 14, 2013 remains the crux of the South African trial that has captured worldwide attention and is about to start its seventh week of globally televised proceedings. It was initially scheduled to run for three weeks.INDIANAPOLIS - Jim Irsay wants to be a better team owner.Six days after his six-game suspension ended, the 55-year-old Colts owner broke his silence by telling a small group of reporters that hes excited about the season, feeling well and is ready to move on.Ive always said Ive felt the role of a steward here and that you learn from your mistakes, Irsay said during a 30-minute news conference Wednesday. You move on, think you can be a better person and be better at everything you do.For Irsay, it was a tough, painful lesson.Just days before Indianapolis season opener in Denver, Irsay pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour count of driving while intoxicated and acknowledged he was under the influence of the painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone when he was arrested March 16 near his home in suburban Carmel. Within hours of his court appearance, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell handed down the suspension, which prevented Irsay from having any contact on football matters with the team or media.Some players contended Irsay got off light as his three daughters helped oversee the day-to-day football operations. He didnt address those concerns, saying only that he accepted the restrictions and followed them to the letter.But for a man who had never missed a Colts game after his father moved the team from Baltimore to Indy in 1984, there was nothing easy about the punishment.He watched intently as Indianapolis (4-2) lost its first two games, the longest losing streak of the Andrew Luck era, then watched gleefully as the Colts won four straight to move back into the AFC South lead after Thursdays win at Houston, just in time for his return to the office.All the while, Irsay watched the games nervously with family and friends, pacing anxiously as he waited to return to owners office hes had since 1997.I missed being there. It was tough not being with the guys before the game and praying with the guys before games. That was tough, he said, laughing as he acknowledged he talked with his daughters and relied on some of his favourite music to help him get through the tough times. A Jerry Garcia guitar was encaseed on the wall behind him. Kameron Canaday Jersey. I really made up my mind to be positive about it, he added.The absence taught Irsay something else: He has to continue his recovery.In 2002, before the leagues personal conduct policy applied to team executives, Irsay acknowledged he had become dependent on painkillers after several years of orthopedic operations. He later claimed that after entering rehab, he had stayed clean and sober for years.So less than 48 hours after his March arrest, team officials said Irsay had voluntarily re-entered a treatment centre. He returned to the team in time for NFL draft weekend in May, then showed up several times at training camp. Players and coaches continually offered to support the man who signed their paychecks, even as details — various prescription drugs and more than $29,000 in cash were found in his vehicle — trickled out.Irsay didnt address the details of the arrest, but noted that being away did give him a different perspective on life in the NFL.When youre away from the team for something like that, you grow to appreciate it even more when youre back, Irsay said.Irsay was so eager to get back, he returned to the team complex within the first hour he could. And he was welcomed warmly.I couldnt even imagine how hard that was, punter Pat McAfee said. Youre talking about a guy whos been around the Colts his entire life, who personifies the Horseshoe. I was suspended one game years back and it was the worst, so I cant even imagine what six games must have been like for him.So after six excruciating weeks away from his team, Irsay plans to watch Sundays game, against the AFC North-leading Bengals (3-1-1), from the owners suite at Lucas Oil Stadium.And hes determined not to let anything force him to miss another game as long as he owns the Colts.I really am motivated to show up and do well every day, said Irsay, who still recounts his early days with the team as a ball boy for John Unitas.
