SAN JOSE, Calif. Adidas Zx Flux Black . -- Tomas Hertl is having quite a first week of his NHL career. Hertl scored four goals, Matthew Nieto had his first NHL goal and added two assists and the San Jose Sharks beat the New York Rangers 9-2 on Tuesday night. "Im not even sure he realizes where he is," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "Hes a passionate young man and hes playing freely." Hertl saved his best for last. Driving toward the net, the 19-year-old scored a spectacular goal. He skated in on Martin Biron and put the puck between his legs and scored over the backup goalies right shoulder at 12:05 of the third. "This is a dream," said Hertl, who practices the shot daily. "This is crazy. Ive never scored more than two in a game, maybe." The outgoing Czech, who does not own a car and is too young to rent one, has made it fun for his teammates. "That was special," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "You dont see that too often. Thats something I dont have in my bag. That was pretty. Its been fun to watch him." Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Dan Boyle, Logan Couture and Justin Braun also scored for the Sharks, who won their third straight of the young season. They have outscored their opponents 17-4. Jason Demers and Joe Pavelski each had three assists. Hertl tied the Sharks record for most goals in a game. Owen Nolan did it on Dec. 19, 1995. "Four goals, thats an awesome night," Pavelski said. "Hes moving at a high speed. It was exciting for everybody." Brad Richards and Derek Dorsett scored for the Rangers, who were coming off a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. San Jose goalkeeper Antti Niemi needed to stop 18 shots for the win while Rangers goalkeeper Henrik Lundqvist stopped 22 of 26 shots during his nearly 30 minutes on the ice. Biron took over in the net after the Sharks built a 4-1 advantage and saved 16 of 21. The Sharks outshot the Rangers 47-20. The nine goals were one off the franchise record. The Rangers may have lost more than a game. Star forward Rick Nash, who entered the game with three assists, was taken off the ice after getting hit in the right jaw area by Brad Stuart, who was called for elbowing on the play, early in the first period. "It just didnt feel right," Nash said. "I could feel it. Any time you get a head shot youre concerned. Its not a good feeling." Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said replays showed Stuarts shoulder coming into contact with Nashs head and that "it seemed like his feet left the ice. Thats for the league to decide." Hertl also had two goals in Saturdays win over Phoenix. Richards opened the scoring on Tuesday with his third goal of the season at 3:27 of the first. The Rangers converted their two-man advantage. The long shot was aided by Ryan Callahan, who had screened off Niemi. "The Sharks were on top of their game," Vigneault said. "Its tough to understand, at this point, how we can play so well last night and play this way tonight. "You think youre taking a step forward after the way we played last night and obviously we didnt take a step forward with the way we played tonight." The Sharks answered with a short-handed goal less than a minute later, with Vlasic blasting it past Lundqvist. Boyle gave the Sharks a 2-1 lead at 7:56 of the first period. Pavelski won a faceoff, Nieto kept it alive and Boyle made the shot. The Sharks scored three goals within a span of 1:23 of the second period. Nieto scored his first career goal, followed by Hertls first of the game. "It was great to get my first goal," Nieto said. "I couldnt be happier. Im happy for Tomas too. They were all pretty goals." Biron was in the game for 20 seconds when Couture scored, though it was hardly a conventional goal. Patrick Marleaus shot was wide and it bounced up the board and flipped back over the net, where Couture chipped it home. Hertl added his second goal three minutes later to make it 6-1. Dorsett scored at 8:22 of the third period and Hertl answered with a power-play goal at 9:02 for the hat trick. After Hertls fourth goal, Braun closed out the scoring with a power-play goal at 15:53.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is a key cog in the NFLs No.LOS ANGELES -- Doc Rivers push to transform DeAndre Jordan into a dominant interior defender is already paying dividends. Challenged by Rivers before the season began to win the NBAs defensive player of the year award, Jordan is working toward the honour with the kind of performance he had against the Pelicans. Jordan had 14 points and 20 rebounds -- two off his career high -- and Blake Griffin had 21 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out with 4:05 left in the Los Angeles Clippers 108-95 victory Wednesday night. "Its fun to take on that challenge," Jordan said. "Its part of my job to be energetic. If Im not playing well I can still play with energy and that spark to get other guys going." Chris Paul added his own double-double against his former team, with 12 points and 11 assists in the Clippers third straight win. "Outstanding," Paul said of Jordans effort. "He had five blocks, too. He was MVP of the game. We were a little sluggish. D.J. kept telling us, Come on, fellas." Jared Dudley had 20 points, one of seven Clippers in double figures. Jamal Crawford scored 17 points, making 10 of 11 free throws, and Darren Collison added 14, hitting all nine of his free throws. "D.J. kept us in it with his defence and rebounding," Clippers coach Rivers said. "Hes just going after things. He accepts his role and hes become a star in it. Hes still going to score by doing all of that stuff." Anthony Davis led the Pelicans with 24 points and 12 rebounds in his return after missing seven games with a broken left hand. "Its great just to get back out there with my teammates, have fun and do the things that Im used to doing," he said. "Ive got to get back in a rhythm. You can work out for as much as you want and train as much as you want, but that game rhythm is a lot different. Hopefully it wont take me long to get my shot back and the plays I usually make and get back in the groove." Ryan Anderson added 17 points, Jrue Holiday had 13 points and 10 assists, and Tyreke Evans had a triple-double of 11 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists after missing the past two games with a sprained left ankle. Adidas ZX Flux Print Black. "When I got in and started running up and down the floor, it was a little tight. But coach kept me out there and it got looser," Evans said. "It was big (getting himself and Davis back), but were going to need everybody on this team. Everybodys a big key, but were still learning to play with each other." Austin Rivers, the 21-year-old son of Doc Rivers, had two points while playing 14 minutes in a reserve role. "Its my first time beating him so thats nice," said the elder Rivers, whose wife watched the game on TV. "She was cheering for Austin 100 per cent." New Orleans lost for the third straight game and fifth time in its past seven. The Clippers reserves carried them in the fourth when Griffin didnt score before fouling out. Willie Green hit two of their five 3-pointers in the quarter, with Dudley adding two of his four and Paul tossing one in, too. "We kept a double-digit lead but you never felt comfortable because we couldnt pull away," Rivers said. "We played pretty flat." The Clippers pulled away in the third after the Pelicans closed within four points. Crawford beat the shot clock with a 3-pointer, launching a 15-2 run that extended the Clippers lead to 70-53. Griffin scored six points. Davis scored the Pelicans final four points to get them to 78-65 heading into the fourth.
