MONTREAL - Shim Suk Hee of South Korea won gold and Canadas Valerie Maltais took the bronze medal in the womens 1,000-metre race Sunday at the world short track speed skating championship. However, Canadas top skater Charles Hamelin saw his chances for a first overall world championship title compromised when he was disqualified from a mens 1,000-metre semifinal for obstruction. Five-time overall world champion Victor An of Russia won the mens race ahead of Sjinkie Knegt of the Netherlands and Park Se Yeong of South Korea. Shim, a bronze medallist in the event three weeks ago at the Sochi Olympics, led South Korea to a one-two finish as she came in ahead of Park Seung-Hi. It was Shims second gold of the meet to go with her 1,500-metres win on Friday. Maltais, of La Baie, Que., edged Britains Elise Christie for third place. Christie led early but was forced to cut well inside the track by Shim and dropped back. No foul was called. "That early on in the race its not a very sportsmanlike thing to do, but she did it and she got a medal for it," said Christie, who was penalized three times in Sochi for fouls. "It worked for her and unfortunatelty it didnt work for me." Hamelin was penalized when he tried to pass Chinas Shi Jingnan on the inside and lost balance, sending Shi and American Chris Creavling sprawling into the padded rink walls. Hamelins last shot at the title will come later Sunday in the 3,000-metres. He won the 1,500 and took bronze in the 500-metre earlier in the three-day championship. The relays are also later Sunday. American J.R. Celski looked to have a spot in the final locked up, but was eliminated when Knegt thrust a skate forward and beat him by two-1,000ths of a second. "It sucks, but it was a good race," said Celski.

. - Mark Sanchez found out the New York Jets had acquired Tim Tebow on a conference call with team management.BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Coming off a poor performance, St. Louis Blues goaltender Jaroslav Halak gave up a goal 10 seconds into Tuesday nights game against the Buffalo Sabres. After that he was flawless, making 23 saves for the Blues in a 4-1 win. "I was hoping to get a few shots early in the game, but not the way it was," Halak said. "I started feeling more comfortable as the game went on, especially in the second I made some saves that got my confidence back and I started feeling better." Brenden Morrow scored twice and Vladimir Tarasenko and Magnus Paajarvi also scored, as the Blues continued their mastery of the Sabres (5-17-1). St. Louis has won 13 of 15 games against Buffalo since 1999. Tyler Ennis scored the Sabres goal, as Buffalo lost at home after consecutive home wins last week. Halak was pulled from Sundays loss in Washington after allowing three goals on six shots in just 16 minutes. St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock liked his goaltenders response. "Bottom line he played really well," Hitchcock said. "We needed him and he played good. Thats whats good for Jaro. He stepped back and he made some big saves today. Thats a good sign for us." At 14-3-3, the Blues are off to their best start through 20 games in franchise history. The Blues league-best power play stayed productive, scoring in their fourth straight game. Its a stretch thats seen the Blues go 6 of 17 with the man advantage. "We drew a couple penalties, got the first one on the power play to make it 2-1 and hung on from there," Morrow said. "They were able to put a lot of pressure, throw some pucks at our net and we gave up more shots than we usually do." St. Louis is 8-1 in its past nine trips to Buffalo. The Blues improved to 7-2 against Eastern Conference teams, outscoring opponents 31-17. Though the Blues outshot the Sabres 31-24, they got off to a slow start. After a dump of the puck into the Blues zone off the opening faceoff, Ville Leino stripped the puck from Jay Bouwmeester below the left faceoff circle and found Ennis, who beat Halak with a low shot to give the Sabres an early lead. Though Halak may have been jittery, SSt.dddddddddddd Louis responded well to the quick setback. The Blues tied the game less than a minute later when Morrow pounced on a rebound and beat Ryan Miller at 1:09 of the first. "They got off to a great start, got a break early and we got one right back early that the changed the momentum back for us," Morrow said. Tarasenko scored a power-play goal with 36 seconds to play in the first period on a pass from T.J. Oshie, who collected his own blocked shot. Buffalo has been outscored 31-4 in the first period this season. The Sabres nearly equalized in the second period, but Halak used his right pad to deny Leino, who was facing an open net. "I gave up the rebound and just wanted to get there with my pad and lucky for me he didnt raise it over my pad and I was able to get there," Halak said. "It was a key save for me and we get another chance going the other way and we score. Couldve been 2-2, but instead its 3-1 and it was a huge goal for momentum." Morrows second of the game came when Cody McCormick lost the puck behind the Buffalo net. "That was a pretty sick snipe," said Stewart, who missed the morning skate with flu-like symptoms. "He was sitting there in the slot all alone and hes not going to miss from there. It was Morrows first multi-goal game since April 17, when he scored twice against Montreal. Stewart had two assists. The Sabres couldnt beat Halak again and interim head coach Ted Nolan saw a gulf between his team and the Blues. "You could tell the difference between some of the younger players we have and some of the more mature players they have," Nolan said. "So its just part of maturing." Defenceman Mike Weber returned to the Sabres lineup after missing 10 games with a hand injury suffered Oct. 25 against Florida. NOTES: Blues C Patrik Berglund missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury. ... The Sabres sent D Rasmus Ristolainen, LW Johan Larsson and C Mikhail Grigorenko to their American Hockey League affiliate in Rochester on Tuesday. ... Buffalo also sent D Nikita Zadorov to the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. ' ' '
