SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Brent Burns got his first NHL hat trick and the Sharks ended a five-game home losing streak to St. Louis with a 6-3 victory over the Blues on Friday.

Ian Cole scored his first goal in nearly two years as the Blues had their five-game winning streak halted. David Backes and Jaden Schwartz also scored for St. Louis. Antti Niemi stopped 21 of 24 shots for his 14th win of the season. Brian Elliott took the loss, his first in eight games, after giving up four goals on 12 shots. He was lifted for Jaroslav Halak, who had 18 saves. The Blues, who earned points in their previous nine games, were off to their best road start in franchise history, bringing a 7-2-1 mark into the game. Burns scored 35 seconds into the game, taking a nice pass from Patrick Marleau and flipping the puck over Elliotts right shoulder. Logan Couture, who has not scored a goal in seven straight, started the sequence after intercepting a clearing pass. Thornton scored a power-play goal at 3:01, the first allowed by the Blues in six games and just the second on the road. Couture took a shot that bounced off Elliotts pad and Joe Pavelski flipped it out to Thornton, who beat Elliott to the glove side. Burns scored his second goal of the game at 9:14 of the first, set up with a pass from Thornton. Wingels picked up a flubbed pass to Jay Bouwmeester and had a give-and-go with Couture to make it 4-0, getting a good rebound off Elliotts glove and into the net at 11:27. Cole, who last scored on Dec. 8, 2011, against the Anaheim Ducks, a span of 43 games, rattled the puck off the right post and had it trickle into the net. The scoring sequence began when Halak made a terrific save and got the puck out to a streaking Roman Polak. Backes, who took a 10-minute misconduct late in the second period, made it 4-2 with a power-play goal at 2:02 of the third period, with Derek Roy giving him a backhand pass to set up the score. Schwartz drilled the puck off Niemis glove on a give-and-go with Vladimir Sobotka to bring the Blues within one midway at 11:19 of the final period. Burns got the hat trick when he converted a power-play goal at 12:19. He sneaked it past Halak on the stick side. Hertl added an empty-net goal in the final minute.

Smith and Pablo Prigioni are staying in New York to help the Knicks build on their best season in nearly decades. The Sixth Man of the Year and the point guard from Argentina both agreed to multiyear deals Thursday, their agents confirmed. Smith helped shoot the Knicks into and then out of the playoffs, having the best season of his career but then struggling through the post-season. The product of nearby New Jersey wanted to stay and the Knicks needed to keep him. They worked out a deal that will pay him about $25 million over four years. Smith averaged 18.1 points during the regular season, second on the team behind Carmelo Anthony. But he momentarily lost his head and then his shot during the post-season, getting suspended a game for elbowing Jason Terry late in Game 3 of a first-round series against Boston and making only 29 per cent of his shots in the final eight playoff games. Still, it was a strong season for Smith, who showed much more maturity and better shot selection than during most of his career. The Knnicks were unlikely to find anyone better with their spending limitations and made re-signing Smith a top priority.dddddddddddd A former teammate of Anthonys in Denver who developed a good relationship with Knicks coach Mike Woodson, Smith posted a picture of himself in a Knicks jersey in front of the team logo on social media Thursday morning. Exact terms of the deals wont be known until July 10, after next seasons salary cap has been set and contracts can be signed. Prigioni finally came to the NBA this season at 35 after playing in Spain. He played limited minutes as a reserve most of the season but moved into the starting lineup down the stretch and the Knicks took off, going 16-2 with Prigioni among the first five. The point guard for Argentinas national team averaged 3.5 points in 78 games. He could make about $6 million over three years. The Knicks still are trying to hold onto another key player, Chris Copeland, from the team that went 54-28 and won the Knicks first Atlantic Division championship since 1994. ' ' '
