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 notesFisher returned to the lineup after missing three games with an upper-body injury. ...

Bruce Matthews Titans Jersey . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars.MINNEAPOLIS -- Even though hes not hitting a lot of home runs, Justin Morneau is still making an impact for the Twins offence. Morneau hit the go-ahead single in the eighth inning to cap a three-hit night and carry Minnesota to a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. "Right now I still feel like Im having productive at-bats and still helping us win ball games," said Morneau, who is hitting .297 and leads the Twins with 36 RBIs. "Itll come if I keep hitting the ball hard. Obviously, its frustrating. But doing different things to help us win, I think I can live with that." The Twins entered Tuesday with just four hits in their past 50 at-bats with runners in scoring position, but got three hits in clutch situations against Philadelphia. "Watching TV, we saw the numbers scrolling across. They werent very good," Morneau said. "To be able to come through in that situation is good for everybody. Hopefully it gets us rolling in the right direction." Jamey Carroll -- who had two hits and snapped a 0-for-24 slump -- drew a walk to start the eighth off reliever Mike Adams (1-4) and ended up on third after a Joe Mauer single and a fielders choice. Josh Willingham fouled out before Morneau fouled off four straight pitches and lined a single up the middle off Antonio Bastardo to give Minnesota the lead. "Couldnt get him out at 1-2," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. The Phillies have lost four straight after winning five in a row to climb one game over .500. Glen Perkins pitched a perfect ninth, striking out Freddy Galvis to end the game and secure his 14th save. Twins starter P.J. Walters allowed two runs in 7 1-3 innings and was removed with runners on first and second. "I liked our chances against him, but give the kid credit, he did good," Manuel said. "He got his breaking ball and changeup over and got ahead in counts on us, kind of pitched us backwards." Right-hander Casey Fien originally trotted to the mound to relieve Walters, but was sent back soon after he arrived in favour of Bran Duensing. Gardenhire said an umpire signalled for thee righty even though he called for the lefty and yelled it twice.dddddddddddd "He thought it was a better move, maybe," Gardenhire joked. Philadelphia tied it at 2 in the eighth when Ryan Howards single off Duensing (1-1) scored Kevin Frandsen. Duensing struck out Jimmy Rollins, but Howards grounder rolled through the right side of the infield to tie the game. Cole Hamels had a 1-0 lead in the fourth before Willingham, Morneau and Oswaldo Arcia doubled to give Minnesota the lead. Hamels allowed two runs and struck out five over six innings. The Phillies have won only two of Hamels 14 starts. "I probably threw a couple pitches at the wrong time for what they were looking for and they were able to put them in play," Hamels said. Arcias double short-hopped the wall and landed just out of the reach of Ben Revere, who had his back to the infield and leaped toward the ball at the last second. Revere was traded to Philadelphia from Minnesota in the off-season. The speedy centre fielder made spectacular catches at Target Field to take away similar hits last season. Michael Young had Philadelphias other RBI in the third. NOTES: An MRI on Monday revealed a medical meniscus tear in Erik Kratzs left knee, an injury that requires surgery and could knock out the Phillies catcher for the rest of the season.
