WINNIPEG -- For a guy who just played a key role in winning a hockey game Tuesday night, Martin St. Louis was still not a very happy fellow. It was understandable perhaps, after the veteran forward was passed over by his own general manager for a spot on the Canadian Olympic team. "Im happy we got the win," he said after his two third-period goals nailed down the 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, their fourth loss in a row. "For Team Canada, you guys can imagine how I feel, obviously, Im extremely disappointed and Ill just leave it at that." St. Louis scored the winner in the third period then capped it with an empty-net goal. The Jets were outshot two-to-one for most of the game and finished with just 14 shots on goal to 33 for the Lightning, but still managed to go into the third tied 2-2. That was no consolation for Winnipeg coach Claude Noel. "Certainly for us this is probably the worst we played," he said. "It was an empty game. We got very little production in any facet of the game. I dont have the answers." The Jets scored two power-play goals and had managed to kill four of the chances they handed Tampa, until St. Louis tipped in Victor Hedmans shot from the point at 8:39 of the third on a fifth power play. Valtteri Filppula and Ondrej Palat also scored for the Lightning (26-13-4). Olli Jokinen and Dustin Byfuglien scored for the Jets (19-22-5). "It would be hard to pick anybody who was good in the game," said Noel. Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec agreed. "It was embarrassing," he said. "The way we play, we cant expect to be a success, thats for sure." He said they managed to stay in the game but "I dont think we showed up tonight," adding "we got what we deserved." Cooper was pleased at the way the whole team responded after a tough day when only Steven Stamkos from the Lightning got the nod for a spot on the Canadian Olympic team. "The guys still found a way to come into a hostile environment here -- this is a tough place to play on the road -- and I thought we just played an outstanding road game." Tampa got off to a quick start. Filppula deked past Byfuglien in front of the Winnipeg net to fire one past Pavelec at just 1:20 with the first shot of the game for the Lightning. But the Jets made good on a five-on-three later in the first. Mark Scheifele fed a pass across the Tampa crease and Jokinen popped it behind backup netminder Anders Lindback before he could recover. A slashing penalty to Filppula and a delay of game for Lindback (served by B.J. Crombeen) set up the scoring opportunity. The Jets managed only two shots in the first period to Tampas five and were outshot 12-7 in the second as well. But Byfuglien still put them ahead on another power play early in the period, snapping one past Lindback on the short side off a drop pass from Blake Wheeler. Things got chippier as the period progressed and tempers flared. Tampa had a couple of power-play chances but managed only one shot on both combined. Shortly after the last, however, Palat tied things up on a pass from Nikita Kucherov after a breakaway by Alex Killorn at 15:37. The Jets penalty kill finally buckled in the third on Hedmans shot from the point that St. Louis tipped in from Pavelecs glove side. Frustration boiled over again late in the third and gloves and sticks littered the ice after a clash around the Tampa net that saw four players sent to the box. The game basically ended with a fight between Evander Kane and Eric Brewer. Winnipeg had lost their last three going into Tuesdays game, while Tampa had a five-game road winning streak snapped last Sunday by the Edmonton Oilers. Notes: Pavelec picked up a rare netminders assist on Byfugliens goal. For whatever reason, Tampa has had trouble beating Winnipeg. The Jets won their first meeting of the season Dec. 7 in overtime and going into Tuesdays game had won the past four against Tampa. They still have a record of 7-3-2 against the Lightning since moving from Atlanta in 2011. Djibril Sidibe France Jersey .

Lucas Hernandez France Jersey .C. -- The Bobcats announced theyve signed centre Justin Hamilton to a 10-day contract. CUIABA, Brazil -- James Rodriguez scored a brilliant goal and set up two more for Jackson Martinez as Colombia routed Japan 4-1 on Tuesday to confirm top spot in Group C and eliminate the Asian champions from the World Cup. Already assured of advancing, Colombia guaranteed first place with its third straight win, setting up a second-round match against Uruguay. The Colombians started with a virtual second-string lineup but still went in front when Juan Cuadrado -- one of the few regular starters -- drilled in a 17th-minute penalty. Japan equalized with the last touch of the first half through Shinji Okazakis header but Martinez scored in the 55th and 82nd minutes -- both from superb passes from substitute Rodriguez -- to put the result beyond doubt. Rodriguez capped it off with his stunning solo goal in the 89th, turning his marker inside out before chipping the advancing goalkeeper with a deft finish that bore all the hallmarks of the great Lionel Messi. That made it nine goals for Colombia in the group stage, and the South Americans are proving to be the World Cups big entertainers. The introduction of Rodriguez tilted the game back Colombias way after Japan finished the first half stronger, with Okazakis goal having given Alberto Zaccheronis side a slim chance of progressing. Although Japanese fans will have been keeping one eye on the match being played simultaneously between Ivory Coast and Greece in Fortaleza, their players only had one mission: win three points and see if that would be enough.dddddddddddd It didnt open to plan, with Japan going behind to a penalty that was needlessly given away by Konno, who lunged into a challenge on Adrian Ramos. Despite Japans protests, it was a clear foul and Cuadrado had no difficulty converting the spot kick. The goal left Japan susceptible to the counter-attack as they pushed forward in search of two goals. At the other end, there was a lack of cutting edge -- Shinji Kagawa had a weak shot saved and Keisuke Honda wasted three free kicks from good positions -- before Honda crossed for Okazaki to head in at the near post with what was the last touch of the half. Rodriguez -- one of many regulars rested at the start by coach Jose Pekerman -- was introduced for the second half and he made an immediate difference, livening up the crowd and the teams attacking play with his turn of speed and precision passing. Within 10 minutes, he had created Martinezs goal, running onto the ball and playing in his teammate with a cute pass for the striker to take one touch and shoot left-footed low into the corner. The FC Porto striker made it 3-1 with a curling left-foot finish, this time following a reverse pass from Rodriguez. ' ' '
