The Winnipeg Jets take aim at another rare victory in San Jose on Saturday evening as they continue their season-opening road trip versus the Sharks. Listen to the Jets vs. Sharks live on TSN Radio 1290 Winnipeg starting at 8pm ct. The Jets won two of the three meetings between these clubs a season ago, with a 4-3 victory on March 27 marking just the franchises second win in nine all- time trips to San Jose (2-6-0 with a tie). Winnipeg began its season with a 6-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday, with Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little both scoring twice. Wheeler added an assist, while Mark Stuart and Dustin Byfuglien added goals. Ondrej Pavelec stopped 26 shots in the win. I think we were aggressive in the first period, Wheeler said. When youre just simple and you have the right intentions early in the season, youre going to find yourself getting good bounces. One negative from the win was the loss of Evander Kane, the subject of offseason trade rumours, to a lower-body injury in the first period. He collided with teammate Mark Scheifele and was only able to skate in one more shift before exiting. On Saturday, the team announced that Kane will be sidelined for two weeks and will be re-evaluated at that point to better assess the injury. Winnipeg would love the same kind of effort in Los Angeles as the Sharks were able to put forth against the Kings on Wednesday. Forced to watch L.A. raise its championship banner, San Jose then went out and blanked the defending champs 4-0. It was a needed victory for San Jose, which blew a 3-0 series lead in the first round of the recent playoffs to Los Angeles. Tommy Wingels scored twice, while Patrick Marleau and Matt Nieto added goals. Picked to start over Alex Stalock, netminder Antti Niemi made 34 saves in his 28th career shutout. Its not necessarily faith, we all believe in (Niemi) or he wouldnt be here, Sharks head coach Todd McLellan said. Hes come back and really focused on playing well. Joe Thornton, stripped of his captaincy in the offseason, had two shots in 17 minutes in the win and Brent Burns added two assists. The Sharks return to the road for five straight beginning on Tuesday.

The Montreal native, who was competing just five months after having surgery on her anterior cruciate ligament, captured her fifth Winter X Games gold medal in womens ski slopestyle Sunday. "I just wanted to get out there and land a run that was clean and solid, get back into the groove of things," said the 25-year-old. "My knees feeling really good. Ive had a lot of great support, a physical therapist travelling with me, all my sponsors have been really involved. Everyone is making sure Im on the right program." Turski injured herself back in August while training and it was uncertain then if she would be ready in time for her sport to make its Olympic debut in February. But with determination, and a great support network, she says was able to return back to the slopes well ahead of schedule. "I wasnt listening too much to what other people were saying," said Turski. "The moment I blew (my knee) so many things were going throough my head like, whats going to happen with the Olympics?.dddddddddddd.. (But) I knew if I put in my everything I could get back to as strong as I was." Turski scored 91.33 on her second run to cruise to first place, but admitted she has more to give. "I think that I was rewarded for my flow on the course, just keeping it cool and looking smooth," said Turski. "I want to bring that to the Olympics. I didnt want to throw my hardest tricks on the course today because I didnt want to compromise my chances heading into the Olympics." American Maggie Voisin took silver with 90.00 points and Kim Lamarre of Quebec City earned bronze with a best score of 85.00. "I was thrilled to have Kim on the podium with me, shes one of my best friends," said Turski. "Shes one to watch, shes a really, really strong athlete. She can have a winning run." Dara Howell of Huntsville, Ont., finished fourth with a score of 84.00 while Yuki Tsubota of Whistler, B.C. was eighth at 75.33.
