NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- With the Nashville Predators struggling to generate offense, Calle Jarnkrok delivered at just the right time.Jarnkrok scored twice to lead the Predators over the St. Louis Blues 3-1 on Thursday night.James Neal also scored and Pekka Rinne made 23 saves for Nashville, which has won two straight for its first winning streak of the season.Ive been feeling good, Rinne said. I always put a lot of pressure on myself, but at the same time this year, I try to focus on the things that I can control and not to get frustrated at what the game throws at you. I just try to focus on doing my job.Jaden Schwartz had the lone goal and Carter Hutton made 25 saves for the Blues.Schwartz scored the games first goal at 3:59 of the opening period.From the right corner, Vladimir Tarasenko found Schwartz in the lower part of the right faceoff circle, where he beat Rinne on the short side with a wrist shot just inside the post.Nashville drew even at 18:26 of the second on Jarnkroks second goal of the season.In the right corner, Colin Wilsons spinning backhand pass glanced off the skate of Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester and landed on Jarnkroks stick in the slot. Jarnkrok double-clutched and then beat Hutton high to the glove side.Hutton spent the last three years as Rinnes backup in Nashville before signing with the Blues in the offseason.Jarnkroks goal came just minutes after Nashville failed to convert on a two-man advantage that lasted 1 minute, 17 seconds.It was such a timely goal, Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. To leave that 5-on-3 and still not get one, for him to get one after that to send us into the break at a tie score, it was just a real big difference in the game. It gave us a little bit of energy.Nashville finished 0 for 5 on the power play.For the second night in a row, the Blues were perfect on the penalty kill. In their home game Wednesday night against Chicago, they killed off all six Blackhawks power plays. But spending all that time short-handed took a toll in back-to-back games.When you are looking for offense and for goals, and those players are spending 5, 6 minutes a night on the PK, especially our D, its tough, Blues forward Scottie Upshall said. Weve got to be better, stay out of the box.Neal gave Nashville a 2-1 lead at 3:44 of the third.Skating down the left side, Mike Ribeiro sent a cross-ice pass to Neal at the right post, where he beat Hutton for his fourth of the season.I think after a while, you start living on one goal, youre not going to win many games, St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said. I didnt think we had any energy in the third period at all.Jarnkrok scored his second of the game 1:06 later with another wrist shot from the slot. It was the Swedes third career two-goal game.Thats kind of my spot, Jarnkrok said. Im always there trying to be the high F-3. I got a great pass from (Wilson) that first time and a good pass from (Mike Fisher) that second time, so that was nice.Jarnkrok had a chance for his first career hat trick with 1:45 remaining. With the Blues on a power play and Hutton pulled in favor of an extra attacker, Jarnkroks long-range attempt at the empty net sailed high over the crossbar.Game notes Fisher returned to the lineup after missing three games with an upper-body injury. ... Predators LW Pontus Aberg had an assist for the Swedes first NHL point. ...

Jason Taylor Youth Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. The Supreme Courts surprising decision Monday to leave in place court rulings that found the NCAAs amateurism rules for college basketball and football players violated federal antitrust law raises questions about paying college athletes and the future of college sports.Q: In essence, the Supreme Court was not interested in answering the question of whether college athletes can be paid, so what happens now?A: The rule that now governs college sports is the one issued in a prior ruling in the OBannon vs. NCAA case. In that 2-1 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, the court ruled that NCAA schools would be permitted to pay a student-athletes entire cost of attendance but would be prohibited from paying anything beyond that.In the lawsuit they filed six years ago against the NCAA, OBannon and his legal team sought a new rule that would permit schools to pay athletes for use of their names, images and likenesses. They succeeded in a 2014 trial in Oakland, California, persuading a federal judge to authorize payments of $5,000 per player per season. But the NCAA appealed and won a reversal of the $5,000 provision. In their appeal to the Supreme Court, OBannons lawyers hoped to reinstate the $5,000 payments or allow even greater payments. It did not happen, and the OBannon quest is over.Q: So -- who is the clear winner here?A:?There is no doubt that the OBannon outcome is a triumph for the NCAA and its top lawyer, Donald Remy. Facing the possibility of unlimited payments to athletes, the NCAA was on the precipice of a radical change when this saga began. It is certain that the NCAA and Remy would have agreed to paying the cost of attendance as a settlement of this case. Even as the case traveled through the court system, the leaders of the five power conferences were deciding voluntarily to pay the cost of attendance for players.That stated, the result of this case is not a total triumph for the NCAA. The legal precedent set in the OBannon appellate decision includes a ruling that the NCAA is a cartel that is subject to the nations antitrust laws, a ruling that opens the organization to attacks from other athletes.In his statement in response to the Supreme Courts ruling on Monday, Remy said the NCAA membership agreements are not violations of the antitrust law and that the organization would continue to advance that legal position in other litigation. The NCAA hoped in its appeal to the Supreme Court to obtain a decision that it was immune to antitrust scrutiny.Q: Is there any chance that athletes will be paid for playing in the multibillion-dollar business that is college sports?A:?Yes, there remains a chance. The next big case facing the NCAA is known as the Kessler Case. It is an antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA filed by estimable sports lawyer Jeffrey Kessler.Now pending in federal court in Oakland, Kesssler and his clients seek an open market for college athletes in which schools would compete for them.dddddddddddd To succeed in this case, Kessler and his team must differentiate their case from OBannons and overcome the appellate court ruling in that OBannon case. OBannon sought compensation for use of players names, images and likenesses. Kessler seeks a much broader payment that covers practices, games and broadcasts.Kesslers task will be difficult. The majority judges in OBannon ruled that the difference between offering student athletes education-related compensation and offering them cash sums untethered to educational expenses is not minor; it is a quantum leap. Kessler must somehow succeed in making the quantum leap from cost of attendance to pay for play.Q: Is the Supreme Courts refusal to consider the OBannon case a surprise?A: Yes. The 2-1 decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals presented highly significant issues in American antitrust laws. The Supreme Court had previously transformed the televising of college sports in a decision in 1984. It was time to take another look, especially because college sports have become a major element of the nations economy and culture.The Supreme Court briefs filed by attorney Jonathan Massey on behalf of OBannon were masterly presentations of issues that could easily have captured the attention of the high court. And there was precedent for the court intervening in the sports industry: When the NFL and a paraphernalia manufacturer asked the high court to consider a dispute, the court accepted the case and wrote a historic decision in 2010.To succeed in persuading the Supreme Court to consider their case, OBannon and the NCAA needed four votes from the eight justices now on the court. Were there any votes to accept the case? We will never know. The court denied the appeal without a word of comment.Q: This kind of complex and lengthy litigation must be expensive. Who is paying for it?A: The total bill, including the appeals to the Supreme Court, will approach $100 million, all of it paid by the NCAA -- at least as it stands now.?The OBannon trial in Oakland encompassed the testimony of 23 witnesses, had 287 exhibits, produced 3,395 pages of transcript and led to a written decision of 99 pages. Many of the witnesses were expensive experts. One of them, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, charged the NCAA a fee of $2,100 per hour.Because of the ruling that the NCAA is a cartel that is violating antitrust laws, the NCAA must cover all legal fees. The NCAA is appealing the fee ruling, though, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, and Remy believes it will agree with us and potentially direct a substantial reduction or elimination of the fee request.
