-- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Opening night went as scripted for the San Jose Sharks from the unveiling of the Western Conference championship banner to Brent Burns game-winning goal in the third period.Things couldnt have gotten off to a worse start for the Los Angeles Kings, who might have lost far more than the season opener when star goalie Jonathan Quick left the game with a lower-body injury.Burns scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period against Los Angeles backup Jeff Zatkoff and the Sharks beat the Kings 2-1 Wednesday.There was energy in the building, forward Logan Couture said. It was a cool moment with the banner. Sharks fans were into it from the start. It was like the playoffs. We came out on the ice and it felt like a playoff game right away.Couture added a power-play goal and an assist and Martin Jones made 21 saves in San Joses first real game since losing the Stanley Cup Final to Pittsburgh exactly four months earlier.Tyler Toffoli scored a power-play goal in a rough start to the season for the Kings.Quick left after stopping 14 of 15 shots in the first period with a lower body injury. He hurt himself stretching to get to the post to stop a chance by Joe Pavelski late in the period and is scheduled for an MRI on Thursday.We all know what Quickie brings for our team and what hes done here, Toffoli said. We cant be thinking about that, we have to be positive. Zats played unbelievable coming into today. Were confident in what he has for our team.After a high-paced opening period, the game settled down and it took a fortunate bounce for the Sharks to take the lead just over 3 minutes into the third. Joonas Donskoi tried to slide a pass to Mikkel Boedker but a sprawled out Drew Doughty blocked it.Unfortunately for the Kings, the puck went straight to Burns, who beat Zatkoff for the goal that put San Jose up 2-1. That was the only goal Zatkoff allowed on 16 shots.Its my job to be ready when Quickie needs a break or he goes down, he said. So I have to make sure the team doesnt miss a beat.The Kings remained in the locker room as the Sharks played video highlights from last season -- including the first-round win over Los Angeles -- and unveiled the banner for winning the Western Conference for the first time in franchise history.Los Angeles then jumped on top early, getting a power play just 33 seconds into the game and converting when Toffoli beat Jones high to the short side.But the Sharks took over the play in the second half of the period and got the equalizer when Couture beat Quick from the slot on the power play. The referee initially ruled the puck hit the crossbar and Joe Pavelski and Quick got into a scrum as San Jose celebrated the apparent goal. After a replay review, the goal counted.It felt like four months ago and the playoffs were still on, Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. That was a mans game out there. It was physical, it was hard. They came obviously ready to play and to try and send a message that the playoffs last year wasnt something that they were happy about. I thought our guys responded.Game notes This marked the third straight season these teams opened against each other with San Jose winning all three of the meetings. ...

Jhonattan Vegas certainly has the name and attire to mix it with Sydneys movers and shakers, but more importantly he showed he has the game to challenge for the Australian Open and add his name to a trophy that features some of golfs greatest names.Decked out in a fluoro orange shirt that would rival any bright light in Nevada, Vegas tore up Royal Sydneys front nine with five straight birdies on Friday morning before surviving a mini-meltdown to put himself firmly in contention at five-under ahead of the weekend action.The course played a lot different to this morning than it did yesterday, Vegas said after posting a six-under 66.It was playing pretty hard [yesterday], the greens firm, fast, wind blowing; it was really hard the way it was playing yesterday.So softer greens, great greens, the ball was rolling really good on the greens; it was easy to make putts. But overall I feel like I played a pretty solid round...and we had a lot of fun, that was key, too.What makes Vegas round all the more impressive is the fact he only arrived in Sydney and had just one look at the course before opening up with a one-over 73 on Thursday.The first thing I told my caddie when I got here on Wednesday was that I really liked the course, I really like the area, I like everything, he said.So that was ddefinitely a good start and, yeah, obviously there are different types of golf courses, but Im doing a good job with my caddie to get things going.ddddddddddddVegas is the only other international attraction of note in Sydney this week outside American superstar Jordan Spieth, though the Venezuelan has been playing second fiddle to Australias Adam Scott.Aaron Baddeley has completed the pairing over the first two days at Royal Sydney, but there is no doubt whom the galleries have come to see with Scotts birdies pulling double the cheers of his playing partners on Friday.Not that Vegas sees it that way.Was it for Adam or was it for me? I thought it was for me, Vegas joked when asked about the swarms of people that hurried for vantage points of the former Masters winner and current world No.7.No, obviously hes a big athlete here in Australia and every time you can get a crowd like that it has a different feel, so its a good atmosphere out there.And anytime you can play with a top-10 player, too, is always fun and [Scott] is such a great guy, too, so its even better.Vegas was just two shots shy of the clubhouse lead midway through the afternoon wave on Friday.
