LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings have plenty of power-play goals this season, and several others in the first few seconds after a penalty expired.They struck in that situation again Wednesday night, when Dwight King scored late in the third period just 1 second after a power play ended. He added another goal 25 seconds later, Peter Budaj stopped 22 shots and the Kings defeated the New York Islanders 4-2 for their fourth consecutive win.We dont have to get a lot of power-play goals, Anze Kopitar said. Obviously it helps and we would like to, but if we build good momentum off it, that helps, too. I think it was three or four, maybe even five times this year where we didnt get the credit for the power-play goal but we scored within 5 seconds of the guy coming out of the box.Jake Muzzin and Alec Martinez also scored to help the Kings win their fifth straight at home.Anders Lee scored twice and Jaroslav Halak made 24 saves for the Islanders, who dropped to 1-5-1 on the road this season.King deflected in Derek Forborts long shot for the go-ahead goal with 2:53 remaining, showing off the all-around game that has sparked the streaky Kings.Forbort is supposed to get it through to the net, somebody is supposed to get in front of the net, Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter said. Tic-tac-toe, you put your arms in the air.Even Islanders coach Jack Capuano credited the Kings with a score on special teams, saying the late breakdown was representative of how poorly New Yorks penalty kill has performed this season.Its frustrating because its probably one of the best games we have played coming into this building and cant get any results, Capuano said. Just got to try to find a way to kill one at the end.King scored again when he and Trevor Lewis caught the Islanders on a break, and Muzzin added an empty-netter.Los Angeles now has winning streaks of four, three and four games sandwiched around losing streaks of three, three and four games. In the middle of a stretch that sees them play eight of 10 games at Staples Center, the Kings appear ready capitalize on their current form.We want to stop streaking in the wrong direction, but were on the right path now, said Kopitar, who had an assist in his return after missing five games with a hand/wrist injury. Just playing our style of hockey, that really helps.Lee tied it 4:27 into the third period. He was somehow able to collect and backhand in the rebound of Travis Hamonics missed shot while tangled up with Kings defenseman Matt Greene.Lee added his third goal of the season with 1:52 left to make it 4-2, but the Islanders failed in their attempt to string together consecutive wins away from Barclays Center for the first time this season.Martinez put the Kings ahead 15:34 into the first period with his fourth goal of the season, taking advantage of Lewis screen in front to beat Halak with a shot from the blue line.Kings defensemen have six goals during their winning streak, including Martinez scoring the opener against New Jersey last Saturday.The Islanders could not carry over the momentum from their first road win Tuesday at Anaheim, despite two power-play opportunities in the first 11 minutes. New York had just one shot with the man advantage and seven total in the opening period, half the number needed to decide their 14-round shootout against the Ducks the previous night.Game notes The Islanders scratched G Thomas Greiss, RW Cal Clutterbuck and D Scott Mayfield. Clutterbuck, who sustained an upper-body injury against the Ducks, went through pregame warmups before being held out. ... The Kings scratched LW Teddy Purcell and D Tom Gilbert.UP NEXTIslanders: Friday at San Jose.Kings: Saturday night at home against Chicago. Cheap RB From China .

Traditional contenders Brazil, Greece and Turkey drew the other three spots to complete the 24-team field for this summers tournament in Spain, basketball governing body FIBA announced Saturday at its meeting in Barcelona. CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Mark Sanchez tossed a pass that zipped through the end zone, over a fence and onto the roof of a golf cart parked on the other side. And, it was a good -- and smart -- play. Rather than try to force it to a receiver who wasnt open during red zone drills Monday, the New York Jets quarterback threw the ball away so that no one could reach it. For a guy who has been plagued by 52 turnovers in the last two seasons, this was progress. "I felt good," Sanchez said. Sanchez was mostly mistake-free in perhaps his best practice of training camp, while rookie Geno Smith threw two interceptions in 7-on-7 drills. The competition between the two for the starting quarterback job remains tight, and coach Rex Ryan is not sure who will start the preseason opener at Detroit on Friday night. But Ryan added that both Sanchez and Smith will work with the first-team offence during the game. "Todays practice was sloppy," a disappointed Ryan said before later adding, "one guy Ill say came out to practice was Mark Sanchez. I thought he was sharp." After a lousy performance in the teams scrimmage Saturday, that included him getting booed by fans after an interception, it was a day of redemption for Sanchez. While it was hardly an eye-popping day -- he was unofficially 6 of 9 in team drills -- he appeared in command the entire session and kept the mistakes to a minimum while running the first-team offence. Sanchez had a nice drive in 11-on-11s that was capped by a 6-yard touchdown toss to Bilal Powell on a third-down play. "Calls came in quick, got in and out of the huddle, had great tempo, good pace, good mix of runs and passes, screens, everything," Sanchez said. "It was kind of the way that we want to run things, you know, in a nutshell in one drive, and that looked pretty good." Smith was far from bad, but it was the first time he made the types of mistakes he made Monday, finishing 4 of 6 and getting picked off by Antonio Allen (a tipped pass) and Nick Bellore (a forced throw in the middle of the field). "I mean, youve got to look at it in a positive manner," Smith said. "I dont see it as a setback. I see it as a learning experience. I see it as something that I can improve on." Its that approach that has his coaches and teammates feeling pretty good about the second-round pick from West Virginia. Smiths refusal to get frustrated by bad moments on the practice field has also shown a lot about his confidence in his abilities. In fact, he wouldnt even acknowledge that this was one of his tougher practices in the pros. "I wouldntt say so," he said.dddddddddddd "Down in the red zone, I think I need to do a better job of taking care of the ball. I know its 7-on-7 and you kind of want to force the emphasis and try to get the ball to the end zone, but still be mindful that were still working game reps and that drill is made for us to kind of pretend that were in the game." Which means he has to do anything other than turn the ball over in that situation -- a key focus of offensive co-ordinator Marty Mornhinweg this summer. "Thats something that I did today and that can be fixed," Smith said. "And now, Ill improve on that." While Ryan was complimentary of Sanchez, he didnt knock Smith, who still has yet to be intercepted in 11-on-11 team drills this summer -- including the scrimmage. "Its not like hes going to be Nolan Ryan," the coach said, "and pitch a shutout out there." As for the rest of the team, Ryan was not happy with his players effort after a day off from practice Sunday. There were several false start penalties, including two in a row by right tackle Austin Howard and left tackle DBrickashaw Ferguson. The defence also had its share of mistakes. "I thought the focus wasnt there," Ryan said. "I never liked the attention to detail. ... Its unacceptable." ------ NOTES: Ryan had no updates on WR Santonio Holmes, who is out with a foot injury, or RB Mike Goodson, away from the team for personal reasons. Ryan refused to rule out Holmes, currently on the physically unable to perform list, to be ready for the regular-season opener although the wide receiver still isnt close to practicing. ... CB Dee Milliner, the No. 9 overall draft pick, briefly left practice after falling on his left hand. He said he needed his ring and middle fingers taped up, but said he was fine. ... Ryan praised LB Calvin Pace, saying hes "having a monster camp." Pace was released in February in a cost-cutting move, but re-signed to a one-year deal in April. ... Ryan said the Jets might consider playing CB Kyle Wilson at safety at times. Allen and Jaiquawn Jarrett are currently competing to start opposite Dawan Landry. ... FB Tommy Bohanon, the teams seventh-round draft pick, blasted and ran over DB Isaiah Trufant on one play -- Bohanon is 6-foot-1, 247 pounds, while Trufant is generously listed as 5-8, 170. "Hes a load," Ryan said of Bohanon, whom he refers to as "Tommy Bahama." ... RB Chris Ivory (hamstring), RB-KR Joe McKnight (concussionlike symptoms) and TE Kellen Winslow (rest day) didnt practice.
