LOS ANGELES -- Alec Martinez has scored slightly bigger overtime goals than this one for the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center.The defenseman still realizes the journey to Stanley Cup glory starts with doing the right things in October.Martinez scored 1:14 into extra time, and the Kings rallied to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 Tuesday night for their third straight victory.After Drew Doughty scored the tying goal with 5:57 left in regulation, Martinez ended it by putting a rebound of Tanner Pearsons shot into an open net.Pearson had a good shot, Martinez said. I dont know if it hit armpit or some far pad, but it was just lying there. I was able to put it in, but again, those guys did the work. I just picked up scraps.The goal was the second overtime score in three games by Martinez, who also beat Dallas last Thursday with his only other goal this season. He entered Kings history when he ended the 2014 Stanley Cup Final with an overtime goal past Henrik Lundqvist to clinch Los Angeles second championship.Captain Anze Kopitar also scored for the Kings, who won their third straight overtime game after an 0-3-0 start to the season.I think were finally playing in a rhythm, Martinez said. The first few games, with every game, we got better in certain areas. We were just out of sync, and I think that were finally playing more of a north-south game.Third-string goalie Peter Budaj stopped 19 shots in his third consecutive win for Los Angeles, remaining unbeaten since taking over for injured Jonathan Quick and Jeff Zatkoff.Cam Atkinson scored a tiebreaking power-play goal late in the second period, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 27 saves for the Jackets, who had won two straight after an 0-2-0 start. Brandon Saad also scored for Columbus, which got a taste of hard-hitting hockey in the opener of its California road swing.We didnt generate enough (scoring chances), Columbus coach John Tortorella said. Give them credit. Thats the way they play. They dont give up much, and its about who blinks first. We were playing OK, but I just dont think we sustained enough of a forecheck to keep them from gaining some momentum.After a scoreless first period largely controlled by Los Angeles, Saad put the Blue Jackets ahead with a close-range wrist shot off an odd-man rush. Saad, a well-known streaky scorer, managed just one assist in Columbus first four games.We knew they were a patient team, and they take advantage of their opportunities, Saad said. We try to play a tight checking game for a full 60. For the most part, we did a good job.Kopitar tied it with his second goal of his first season as the Kings captain, cycling the puck behind the net and executing a slick give-and-go with new defenseman Tom Gilbert.Atkinson put the Jackets ahead again 71 seconds later, connecting for Columbus fifth power-play goal in five games on tic-tac-toe passing from Sam Gagner and Alexander Wennberg.Doughty finally evened it with a sharp-angled shot that trickled through Bobrovsky for his second goal of the season. Bobrovsky, who earned his franchise-record 100th victory with a shutout of Dallas last Saturday, probably should have stopped it.No matter what situation were in as a team, were always going to be a confident group, said Kings forward Nick Shore, who set up Doughtys goal. Whether were up or down, were going to stick to the plan. Battling back was big for us tonight.Game notes Jack Campbell was the Kings backup goalie again with their top two netminders sidelined by groin injuries. Zatkoff is expected to be out for at least a week, while Quick probably wont be back until January. ... Kings F Teddy Purcell was a healthy scratch for the third straight game by coach Darryl Sutter. Purcell was the closest thing to an impact free-agent acquisition this season by the capped-out franchise. ... Kopitars goal was his 245th, moving him within one of tying Wayne Gretzky for sixth place in Kings history.UP NEXTBlue Jackets: The road trip continues Thursday in San Jose and Friday in Anaheim.Kings: Theyll host Nashville on Thursday.

Patrick Peterson Color Rush Jersey . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise. The Supreme Court has deferred considering taking action against BCCI president Anurag Thakur for asking the ICC to clarify whether one of the Lodha Committees recommendations amounted to government interference in the board, but the issue is far from over.The court said it was a matter of serious concern that Thakur had asked the ICC for a letter regarding the induction of a nominee of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the proposed Apex Council, which is a recommendation in the Lodha report that was passed by the Supreme Court order on July 18. The ICC does not permit government interference in the functioning of its members.In an order on Friday, the court asked the Lodha Committee secretary to write to ICC chairman Shashank Manohar and set the record straight because on October 17, upon directive from the court, Thakur had filed an affidavit and denied that he sought such a letter. This issue had emerged because ICC chief executive David Richardson had told India Today that Thakur had made such a request, and the court said on Friday that such behaviour was to question the legitimacy of its recommendation.The court said: It is a matter of serious concern that the President of BCCI, even after the declaration of the final judgment and order of this Court dated 18 July 2016, requested the Chairperson of ICC for a letter clarifying (as he states) the position which he had taken as BCCI President to the effect that the induction of a CAG nominee would amount to governmental interference and may result in BCCI being suspended from ICC.There was no occasion for the President of BCCI to do so once the recommendation of the Committee for the induction of a CAG nominee was accepted in the final judgment of this Court.Thakurs original remarks concerning the letter to the ICC were part of aan affidavit - signed by Ratnakar Shetty, the BCCIs administration and game development manager - filed in the court on October 7, in response to the status report submitted by the Lodha Committee.ddddddddddddDuring that hearing, the court asked how Shetty had been privy to a conversation between Thakur and Manohar, and asked Thakur and Shetty to file separate affidavits as part of the October 17 hearing.In its order on Friday, the court said Thakurs version of events concerning the approach to the ICC was corroborated by the minutes of the BCCI working committee meeting on August 22. In the affidavit filed by Shetty, however, the board had denied that Thakur had sought ICC intervention at all and said Richardsons comments were incorrect.The court observed there was a variance in what Richardson and Shetty were saying. Mr Shetty in his response to the status report claims that the CEO of ICC had falsely stated in his interview that the President of BCCI had requested ICC to issue a letter stating that the intervention of this Court amounted to governmental interference. The version of Mr Shetty is at variance to what is alleged to have been stated by the CEO of ICC.It may also become necessary for this Court to assess the veracity of the version of Mr Shetty and that of Mr Richardson. Mr Shashank Manohar, the then President of BCCI is presently the Chairman of ICC. A copy of this order shall be forwarded to him by the Secretary to the Committee in order to enable him to consider filing a response setting out his version, to set the record straight and assist this Court. Mr Manohar is at liberty to obtain a report from Mr Richardson before filing his response. ' ' '
