WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Patrik Laine took his teammates advice and it paid off with an end to his six-game goal drought.The rookie scored his 13th of the season with a high wrist shot past New Jersey Devils goalie Cory Schneider, helping the Winnipeg Jets to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night.People told me in the second intermission that I should try blocker (side), Laine said. It was the first shot, blocker, and it goes in.I was obviously relieved. It was a good goal. I had some pretty good scoring chances in the second period and I just couldnt score. It was an amazing feeling to get that goal and help my team to win.Mark Scheifele also scored his 13th of the season and captain Blake Wheeler had the other goal for the Jets. Scheifele added an assist to give him a team-leading 26 points.Devils rookie Miles Wood, with his first NHL goal, and Nick Lappin supplied the offense for New Jersey. Wood also had a penalty shot but failed to convert.Connor Hellebuyck made 23 saves in his fifth straight start for Winnipeg (11-12-2), which has won five straight at home.Schneider stopped 26 shots for the Devils (10-7-5), who had earned at least a point in each of their previous three games (1-0-2).Devils coach John Hynes called his players a resilient group.The thing is, you dont want to be down in games, chasing games, but I think the belief in how we play and that we can come back is important, Hynes said.New Jersey outshot Winnipeg 7-6 in the scoreless first period, which featured shots from both teams that rang off the post and others fired just wide of the net.Winnipeg had a two-man advantage for 1:41 early in the second and sent two shots at Schneider. A couple of others clanged off the post.The Jets made up for it with a pair of goals 2:01 apart, with Scheifele scoring at 11:20 and Wheeler beating Schneider off a rebound at 13:21.Wood had a penalty shot after being taken down by Dustin Byfuglien on the way to the net, but whiffed on his opportunity.It was cool to hear the crowd boo me all the way down, Wood said. Its something Ill never forget.Wood made up for his botched attempt with a shot fired through Hellebuycks pads at 2:52 of the third.Laines wrist shot went high past Schneider to make it 3-1 at 4:47.He has a heck of a shot, Schneider said. It might have ramped off my defensemans stick there. Its just kind of how it has been going lately. I felt I had a bead on it, and it just changed direction slightly.Thats all it takes for me right now. Its just something that I have to work through.Scheifele enjoyed his view of Laines great shot.I was pretty much right behind him and you pretty much cant see it, so its a pretty special shot, Scheifele said.Lappin closed the gap to one goal 3 minutes later off a rebound.The Devils had a power play with 8:09 left in the third, but couldnt capitalize. Schneider was pulled with 1:45 remaining.Game notes Jets center Bryan Little returned to the lineup after missing 23 games with a lower-body injury sustained a few shifts into the teams season opener on Oct. 13. He also missed the final 25 games last season because of a fractured vertebrae. I thought he was excellent. Better than I expected, Wheeler said. That first shift, I kicked one to him in the (defensive zone) and he took off like a bat out of hell. He was flying tonight. Its pretty exciting to have him back in the lineup. ...

Yannick Weber Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. WASHINGTON -- A hot streak and a home run earlier in the afternoon earned Justin Turner the green light on Stephen Strasburg. He made the most of it.Turner homered twice and drove in five runs to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-3 victory over Strasburg and the Washington Nationals on Thursday. The two- and three-run home runs got Turner to a career-high 17 on the season and helped Los Angeles beat Washington for the fifth time in six games.Turner is hitting .323 with four doubles, six home runs and 16 RBI in July. Catcher A.J. Ellis called the third baseman one of the Dodgers team MVPs.Its almost like its not even a hot streak anymore, Ellis said.

Its Strasburgs first loss since Sept. 9.The guys had a great game plan, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. I thought that they stressed Stras early, and we hit a couple balls out of the ballpark.Turner, who hit a 3-2 cutter deep to left center in the first inning for his two-run shot and then a 3-0 fastball to center in the third for his three-run shot, said he has been healthy all season but is feeling comfortable again.He looked plenty comfortable against Strasburg, who allowed a season-high six earned runs on seven hits but also struck out 10 and allowed just one base runner in his final three innings.It was just a couple of pitches where I just didnt execute when I needed to, and I got beat on them, said Strasburg, who threw 103 pitches in six innings. Once I got past those first couple innings I started throwing more first-pitch strikes.Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias was strong in allowing one run on five hits in four innings. The 19-year-old top pitching prospect was lifted after 77 pitches but did his job of taking care of Nationals hitters Daniel Murphy, Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon.I tried to focus, 1-9 are all good batters, Urias said through an interpreter.dddddddddddd But we all know the type of batters that are at the heart of the order and I try to focus and do my job.The Dodgers bullpen did its job, too, as seven relievers combined for five innings. Left-hander Adam Liberatore (2-0) got the win, and Kenley Jansen recorded his 28th save.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: OF Yasiel Puig left the game with right hamstring tightness that occurred when he tried to leg out a grounder as a pinch-hitter in the seventh.
