DALLAS -- Being the subject of trade rumours has not slowed down Martin St. Louis. St. Louis scored two goals for the second consecutive game to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-2 win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday afternoon. The Lightning had lost five of their previous seven games, including a 3-2 loss to Nashville Thursday. Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said he wasnt thinking about that game when Dallas cut a 3-0 second-period deficit to 3-2. The Lightning won despite being outshot 41-21. "Clearly we were under siege for the second half of that second period, but I thought our goalie stood tall. Guys committed to blocking shots and kept pucks out." The 38-year-old St. Louis has been the subject of trade rumours, but with the Lightning fourth in the NHLs Eastern Conference, they might not want to send away their scoring leader. "That kid comes to play, and thats what you want in a player," Cooper said. "And all this speculation of him being moved or asking for a trade, that doesnt come into one spot of our locker room of trying to win a hockey game. "We needed four goals to win tonight, and he had two of them. You need that from one of your go-to guys." Nate Thompson and Sami Salo also scored for Tampa Bay. Victor Hedman and Ondrej Palat each had two assists. Goalie Ben Bishop cooled off Dallas by making 39 saves for his 29th win. Antoine Roussel and Vernon Fiddler each had a goal and an assist for Dallas. "Hes a big man," Fiddler said of the 6-foot-7 Bishop. "He covers a lot of the net. He made some big saves." The four goals allowed by Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen were his most in 12 games, since a 4-3 loss to Colorado Jan. 27. He made 17 saves. The Stars, who had been 7-1-2 in their previous 10 games, remained eighth in the Western Conference. St. Louis scored just 1:25 into the game. Eric Brewer sent a shot from the slot wide right, but the puck hit St. Louis left leg and deflected into the near side of the net past Lehtonen. The Lightning had another chance on a 2-on-1 rush 7 minutes later, but Lehtonen deflected Ryan Malones shot away into the left corner. At 12:09, Thompson gave Tampa Bay a 2-0 lead by deflecting Hedmans drive from the left point over Lehtonens left shoulder. That was the seventh shot on goal, equaling the Lightnings total for the final two periods in Thursdays loss to Nashville. Hedman earned his 100th career assist. "They got a break on the first two," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "One was off the side of St. Louis, and the next shot was about 4 or 5 feet high and probably going wide, but they got a stick on it." Tampa Bay outshot Dallas 11-8 in the period. The Stars dominated the second period, outshooting the Lightning 18-7. However, Tampa Bay scored on St. Louis breakaway for a 3-0 lead at 14:31. Dallas intensified its pressure, and scored twice to go into the final period trailing 3-2. At 15:50, Roussel deflected Kevin Connautons shot from the left wing boards off Lightning defenceman Michael Kostkas skate and past Bishop. Fiddler scored on a wraparound at 18:11. It was only the fourth goal for Fiddler and 10th for Roussel, who play on a defensive line with Ryan Garbutt. They combined for nine shots on goal Saturday. "When the Olympic break ended, we had a fresh start," Fiddler said. "We know weve got to get scoring throughout the lineup." The Stars had chances while on a power play for the periods final 22 seconds, but couldnt score again. "It was good we had the intermission to kind of talk about things," Bishop said. "I think Samis goal (at 7:12 of the third) was big. I think that was what sealed the game and kind of gave us a little more oomph there to finish the third period and kill off a couple penalties." In the third, Fiddlers line continued to pressure Bishop. He stopped good scoring chances by Fiddler and Garbutt early in the third. "We needed to fight back, and we did," Ruff said. "When it was 3-2, we had two or three unbelievable opportunities to tie it up. If Fiddler takes another look and just gets it up, its in the net." Salo extended Tampa Bays lead to 4-2. He took a pass off a faceoff in the neutral zone, skated in to the high slot and sent a slap shot into the top of the net. "I think we kind of burst their bubble when we got that fourth one," Cooper said. NOTES: Before Thursday, St. Louis hadnt scored since a four-goal game Jan. 18.

And all things considered, the first 40 games have offered a little bit of everything from a hockey club that faced many questions in its first year under new management, with a new head coach and with a number of new faces in the lineup. However, with a recent dip in scoring, it seems some of the same old questions persist and several new ones have been raised after a somewhat troubling homestand.MONTREAL - A long-awaited showdown turned into a one-sided victory for Jean Pascal. The former light heavyweight champion dominated a tentative and powerless Lucian Bute en route to a unanimous decision victory on Saturday night in the clash of former world title holders from Montreal. The result disappointed many among the 20,479 at the Bell Centre, whose competing chants appeared to favour Bute by about a two-to-one margin. But the match billed as the biggest ever between two Canadians, which reportedly paid each fighter $2 million, belonged to 31-year-old Pascal from the outset. "Ive waited seven years for this," said Pascal (29-2-1). "When I go into the ring, I want to dominate. "That was my game plan — dominate all the time. Go in and out. To be vicious, active, explosive, and thats what I did from start to finish." The three judges agreed, giving scores of 117-110, 117-111 and 116-112. The Canadian Press gave Pascal every round except the 12th, when he backed into a corner and let Bute (31-2) swing away in a last gasp attempt for a knockout. Pascal took Butes minor NABF title and something called the WBC diamond belt, but more importantly, he settled who was best between the two fighters who rose to the top together in the same city without ever facing one another. It turned into a dud of a fight, with Bute often looking confused and unwilling to go on attack. "Jean Pascal was the better fighter and deserved to win," the 33-year-old Bute said. "Why I let the fight go like that I dont know. "Ill have to go over the fight many times with my team." If there is a silver lining for the Romanian-born Bute, it was that he stayed on his feet and his chin held up despite repeated blows from Pascal. His chin has been a concern since May 2012, when his five-year reign as IBF super-middleweight champion came to an end in a crushing loss in only five rounds to Carl Froch in England. Suddenly, a fighter who had always taken command in the ring looked fragile, and complaints that his record had been built against B-level opponents looked plausible. But after losing to Pascal, he made it clear his career is not finished. He even told the crowd he wants a rematch. "Its for you to say if I have a chin or not," he said. "I took a lot of punches and I didnt go down." He came out of it with a badly swollen left eye, and his nose was cut open in the 10th round. Pascal certainly surprised him. Instead of his usual all-out aggression in the early rounds, Pascal elected to hold back, counter with sharp rights when the southpaw Bute fired a shot, and then launch into quick-strike attacks near the end to make sure he won the rounds. He did it over and over and Bute never seemed to find an answer. "I followed my game plan to the letter," said Pascal. Pascal was on the rebound from losing his WBC light heavyweight belt in 2011 to wily veteran Bernard Hopkins, who waited as he blew himself out early and then dominated the later rounds. This time, Pascal added new blood to his entourage, including his boyhood idol Roy Jones Jr., and came back as a smarter fighter, although hhe still throws a lot of wild punches.dddddddddddd He felt the bout was one-sided because of his tactics and execution and not, despite appearances, because Bute is still gun-shy from the Froch fight. Pascal expects to face another opponents before considering a rematch with Bute, but who that will be in a mystery. His contract with promoter Yvon Michel ended with the Bute bout, although he may re-sign and wants to stay in Montreal. While Pascal and Bute were recovering from their setbacks and fighting sparingly in the last two years, another Montreal fighter Adonis Stevenson jumped in to take the light heavyweight belt. A Pascal-Stevenson bout is unlikely for at least a year, his camp said. In the co-feature, heavyweights Mike Perez and Carlos Takam fought to a 10-round majority draw. The crowd booed as Perez (20-0-1) and Takam (28-1-1) spent most of the bout with their heads locked together, trading short range blows to the head and body. The southpaw Perez suffered a cut from a headbutt in the third round that hampered his performance. The Frenchman Takams best moment was late in the sixth when he rocked Perez with a right. Ringside judges scored it 96-94, 95-95 and 95-95. Perez, a Cuban living in Ireland, had Mago written on his trunks in honour of Russian Magomed Abdusalamov, whose career he ended with a 10-round victory on Nov. 2 in New York. Abdusalamov spent a month after the bout in an enduced coma and remains in a rehab centre unable to walk or talk. Eleider Alvarez (14-0) of Montreal was supposed to be in the co-feature against veteran Thomas Oosthuisen, but the South African pulled out with an injury. His replacement, Ottawas Andrew Gardiner (10-1), put on a gutsy show, winning some of the middle rounds, until he was stung at the end of the eighth and the gifted Colombian took back control. Alvarez got the decision 99-91, 96-93 and 97-93. At the end, the crowd cheered Gardiner and booed Alvarez, who had refused to touch gloves with his opponent after the bout after something was said to him from Gardiners corner. Welterweight Mikael Zewski (23-0) of Trois-Rivieres, Que., had a tough opponent in Krzysztof Szot (18-10-1) in that the Polish fighter had never been stopped or even knocked down. This time, Szot went down in the fifth and twice more in the seventh before the ref stopped the bout. Light middleweight Yves Ulysse (1-0) of Montreal showed his speed and attacking style as he won his pro debut by stopping Vango Tsirimokos (6-4) of Belgium in four rounds. Bantamweight Sebastien Gauthier (22-4-1) of St-Jerome, Que. battled to a majority draw with Javier Franco (20-11-3) of Mexico. Montreal-based Russian light heavyweight Artur Beterbiev (4-0) stopped French southpaw Gabriel Lecrosnier (16-26-3) in four rounds, and Colombian heavyweight Oscar Rivas (13-0) stopped lefty Shawn Cox of Trinidad (16-5) in three. Notes _ Lightweight Tony Luis (17-2) of Cornwall, Ont., was knocked down in the first round and went on to lose a 10-round unanimous decision to Ivan Redkach (16-0) of Ukraine on Friday night in Memphis. Scores were 99-90, 97-92 and 97-93. "I thought it was a much, much closer fight," said Luis. ' ' '
