TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Lightning were determined not to lose two straight at home. Team captain Martin St. Louis did more than his share to make sure it didnt occur. St. Louis had two goals and an assist, Ben Bishop improved to 4-0, and the Lightning beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Tuesday night. Tampa Bay was coming off a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh Saturday night in which Matt Niskanen scored a tiebreaking power-play goal with 18.6 seconds left. "It was important to answer," St. Louis said. "I felt like we gave up at least one point last game. In his league at home, youve got a homestand, you cant lose two in a row. I thought we answered pretty well from the get-go." St. Louis has four goals and 10 points during a five-game point streak. He assisted on Malones goal for his 900th point with the Lightning. Including his time with Calgary, St. Louis has 922 points, which is 94th on the NHL career list. "Remarkable ... To be able to continue to excell for as long as hes played in this league," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said of the 38-year old St. Louis. "He still considers himself a young kid. And to just be able to have a front row seat, Im glad Im here to watch this." Ryan Malone, Teddy Purcell and Ondrej Palat had the other Tampa Bay (4-2) goals. Bishop made a strong save in the second on Trevor Lewis shot from the low left circle. The goalie had missed one game after having his right leg jammed during the third period of last Thursdays game against Florida. Los Angeles (4-3) goalie Jonathan Quick was pulled late in the second after allowing three goals on 17 shots. Quick had a 3-0 record with an 0.55 goals-against-average in four previous games against Tampa Bay. "We clearly out-played them the second period and were still down," Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter said. "Their goalie was outstanding." Slava Voynov scored for the Kings, who had a three-game winning atreak end. His goal ended Bishops shutout bid at 10:27 of the third. St. Louis ended Quicks night on a goal from the low slot that gave the Lightning a 3-0 advantage with 3:38 remaining in the second. Malone put the Lightning up 1-0 when he re-directed Sami Salos shot just 19 seconds into the game. "I thought we did a good job of getting off to a good start," said Bishop, who made 30 saves. "Score on the first shift like that, big momentum for our team and we kind of kept it going." Purcell made it 2-0 from the low left circle on Tampa Bays eighth shot with 7:16 left in the first. "Weve got to just regroup after this game, throw it out and realize we need a lot better effort and a lot better detail out of our game," Kings defenceman Matt Greene said. "We just didnt break their speed. Weve got to do a better job in the neutral zone to kind of combat that, and we didnt do a very good job tonight. Weve just got to learn from it and move on." St. Louis got his second goal of the game with 7:20 to play. Palat scored late in the third to extend the Lightning lead to 5-1. Voynov hit the post late in the first for the Kings, who had a goal 32 seconds into the second disallowed because of incidental contact with the goalie. Los Angeles also failed to score during a 4-minute power after Salo received a high-sticking penalty at 3:08 of the second. The Kings, who had 10 shots on the power play, went 0 for 5 with the man advantage. Tampa Bay failed to convert on its three opportunties. NOTES: Bishop was briefly shaken up after taking Daniel Carcillos shot off the mask late in the first. ... Ben Scrivens replaced Quick and gave up two goals on eight shots. ... Kings D Drew Doughty was minus-4 for the game. ... This was just the fourth time in the last 10 years that the Kings played a road game against Tampa Bay.

Clearance Kobe Bryant Shoes . -- Jacksonvilles offensive makeover is just getting starting.GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Josh Beckett said he will be ready for the start of the Dodgers season after having a rib removed last July in a surgery to alleviate a nerve condition that was affecting his right arm "I dont have numbness and tingling, anymore," Beckett said Monday. No doubts, either. The right-hander is expected to battle newly acquired Paul Maholm for the fifth spot in the Dodgers starting rotation this spring. Beckett, the fifth starter before last years mid-season surgery, breezed through his first bullpen session Monday in Arizona. He threw 30 pitches with no sign of trouble. "Im not tentative," said Beckett, who reported to camp a day late so he could attend a wedding. "Im going to throw as hard as I can and see what happens. Right now, I feel great. Ill throw the ball until I blow out and Im hoping thats not for a few more years." The Dodgers signing of Maholm on Saturday is considered a hedge against the possibility of further injury to Beckett, a three-time All-Star whom the Dodgers acquired from Boston along with Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto in a 2012 trade. "Josh is doing really well, but hes coming off tough surgery and theres not a lot of history with that surgery, so well see where things go," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. Beckett underwent the same surgical procedure that former St. Louis Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter underwent in July 2012. Carpenter went on to pitch in six more games in 2012 -- three in the regular season and three in the playoffs. But Carpenter did not pitch in 2013. He announced his retirement in November. Beckett said he has spoken to Carpenter. He said he was told Carpenters nerve condition was more severe than his own. Beckett also said the surgery was more complicated. Dr. Greg Pearl of Dallas performed both procedures. Carpenters experience and advice helped, he said. "It got me through the mental part," said Beckett, who was 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA when he landed on the disabled list on May 14. Neck problems and numbnness in his right hand had troubled Beckett for the last few years.dddddddddddd It got to the point where he learned how to drive with only his left hand. There were times, he said, when he couldnt feel the steering wheel with his right. "Its crazy how simple things become difficult to do," he said. The surgery, which also includes removal of some connective tissue, alleviated pressure on a nerve in his neck, he said. He never felt any pain. But there were moments when he had no control of his pitches. "I didnt know if I was going to throw it over the backstop," he said. "I had no idea where it was going to go." Beckett arrived in camp with his confidence bolstered by three workouts during the last couple of weeks in Texas. He threw off a mound twice, on Jan. 31 and again on Feb 3. Cold weather forced him inside on Feb. 6 where he threw 38 pitches off a flat surface. Beckett has no illusions about the competition he faces in camp. "Its just if hes healthy," Mattingly said. "Josh throws the ball good. Hes been a quality pitcher for a long time and he still has good stuff. How he bounces back, well see. Weve had nothing but positive reports all winter. Josh has never been in the bullpen. Obviously, its a competitive situation. Were not handing anything out for anybody. If hes healthy, well see." Beckett expects to have more time to prepare than the Dodgers calendar might indicate. They break camp in Arizona after a March 16 game and travel to Australia for a pair of regular-season games in Sydney against the Arizona Diamondbacks on March 22 and 23. "Im probably not going to start opening day in Australia," Beckett said. "Theyre paying a guy a lot of money to do that. Not all of us are getting ready for those days. Some of us have a little more time than it appears we do." NOTES: Outfielder Yasiel Puig is already in camp. Mattingly might open the season with the versatile Puig at the top of the Dodgers batting order. .The rest of the team is scheduled to report on Thursday. ' ' '
