BORMIO, Italy -- American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin fought through snow, rain and deep ruts to win her second World Cup slalom of the season Sunday, displaying her ability to deal with all types of conditions a month before the Sochi Olympics. Emanuel King Jersey Store . The 18-year-old Shiffrin led by 0.03 seconds after the opening run and ending up winning by 0.13 ahead of Maria Pietilae-Holmner of Sweden for the sixth victory of her career. "I was really psyched to win again," said Shiffrin, who was 12th and second in her previous two slaloms. "Its been a fight all season and I feel like, if Im not perfectly ready, then the win goes to somebody else. So I was really trying to prepare myself and be ready to go today no matter what the conditions or the visibility." Nastasia Noens of France moved up from 13th after the first run to finish third, 0.62 behind. Shiffrin was only 0.01 ahead of Pietilae-Holmner at the final checkpoint but she excelled on the steep finishing gates to add to her lead. Conditions were difficult with snow falling on the top part of the course and rain at the bottom in the opening run, with spectators holding up umbrellas. During the second run, it was snowing at both the top and bottom. "Its always a big confidence booster to have good skiing in different conditions," Shiffrin said. "I never wanted to be a racer who could only win on hard snow or just soft snow, or just a steep pitch or just a flat. I want to be really good in all-around conditions and getting a win today has given me a lot of confidence that I can ski out of ruts in the second run." Overall World Cup leader Maria Hoefl-Riesch stood fifth after the opening run but lost control shortly into her second trip down and skied off course. Austrian specialist Marlies Schild recovered from a poor opening run -- she was 15th -- to finish sixth, with her younger sister Bernadette Schild placing fourth. Marie Michele Gagnon of Lac-Etchemin, Que., moved from 16th to fifth after an solid second run in tough conditions gave her a combined time of 2:01.52. Gagnon moved up to third in the World Cup slalom standings and eighth overall. "Im happy with the result," Gagnon said. "It was one of those races where you have to be flexible and do whatever you can. It was half rain, half snow. "I had a pretty tough time just to make it to the bottom in the second run because I was really wild but I was charging. It was pretty tough." Erin Mielzynski of Collingwood, Ont., was 17th in 2:02.29. Marlies Schild won the past two races to set the record for most World Cup slalom victories with 35 and trailed Shiffrin by just two points in the discipline standings entering the race. Shiffrin now leads by 62 points, with four more slaloms left to defend her season-long title from last year, when she also won the gold medal in the slalom at the world championships in Schladming, Austria. It was Shiffrins third consecutive podium result after placing third and second in a giant slalom and slalom last weekend in Lienz, Austria. Her other win this season came in Levi, Finland, in November. "Im very excited with how my season is going right now and I think I can do better, too," Shiffrin said. Pietilae-Holmners only two victories came in the 2010-11 season. "Ive been struggling with injuries the past two years," she said. "I tore the ACL in my knee two years ago after my best season then had shoulder surgery last spring." Noens only previous podium result came in a slalom in Flachau, Austria, three years ago. "Its been a while," the 25-year-old Noens said. "Its great to be back up here a month before the Olympics." Resi Stiegler, the only other American starter, was 40th in the first run and failed to qualify for the second leg. Four-time overall winner Lindsey Vonn skipped the race as she continues to rest her injured knee. The race was moved from Zagreb due to a lack of snow in Croatia, where Shiffrin also won last year.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- The New York Islanders were merely content with a lopsided victory. The Phoenix Coyotes were flat-out humiliated. With production from all four lines, the Islanders built a big lead and carried it to a 6-1 win over the Coyotes on Tuesday night. While New York coach Jack Capuano was pleased with his teams performance, he tempered his remarks and didnt heap too much praise on his club. "We got some bounces. Lets not kid ourselves," Capuano said. "The score didnt indicate the way the game was." John Tavares scored his first two goals of the season and defenceman Matt Donovan added the first of his NHL career in a rare meeting between the Islanders and Coyotes. Phoenix hadnt visited Long Island since December 2010. Peter Regin and Tavares scored in the first period for the Islanders (2-0-1), and Donovan, Tavares and Colin McDonald connected in the second against beleaguered goalie Mike Smith to turn it into a rout. Frans Nielsen earned the second of his three assists on the night when McDonald made it 5-1 with 2:36 left in the second. "You get embarrassed as a professional athlete. Its unacceptable," Coyotes captain Shane Doan said. "There has to be accountability in our room. They have a really good team that moves the puck well, and we let them do it all night." Evgeni Nabokov was the beneficiary of all the offence and made 33 saves for the win. The 38-year-old goalie has started all three games for the Islanders. Josh Bailey had a goal and two assists, and Michael Grabner had three assists for New York, which was outshot 34-28. Regin added an assist. "It was just a full-team effort," forward Kyle Okposo said. "We talked about the third period. We wanted to come out and play better and not give them anything. I thought we did a pretty good job." Martin Hanzal gave the Coyotes (1-2) a brief spark when his first of the season made it 3-1. Smith stopped only 15 shots and was replaced at the start of the third period by Thomas Greiss, who made his Phoenix debut. Bailey made it 6-1 against Greiss, off assists from Nielsen and Grabner, with 7:41 left. "Its completely unacceptable," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "We have a lot of work to do as a team. We just werent good enough." For the second straight game, the Islanders jumped out to a 2-0 lead and tried to protect it. They were unsuccessful in their home opener on Saturday when they allowed Columbus to get even in the third period and beat them in a shootout. DeShawn Williams Jersey Store. This time, the Islanders pushed their edge to 3-0 with their second power-play goal, but the Coyotes responded 43 seconds later with Hanzals goal to cut the deficit back to two. "A two-goal lead at home is something youd love to have every night. It was good to take advantage of that," Tavares said. "We have confidence with the lead. It was nice to get another one and keep playing the way we want to play. "Our third goal was a big goal. On Saturday we didnt get the third goal." New York took control early against the Coyotes. Phoenix defenceman Zbynek Michalek turned over the puck near the blue line, and Regin calmly skated into the left circle, with his head up. He deftly snapped a shot over the shoulder of the 6-foot-4 Smith and into the left corner just 1:49 into the game. "Sometimes you have that feeling-out process at the start of the game, but Peters line did a great job of getting us into it right away," Bailey said. "Having a goal within the first two minutes really boosted the guys, and after that we seemed to respond really well." The Islanders earned the first power play with 6:24 left in the first, and the Coyotes compounded the problem on the ensuing faceoff when Antoine Vermette was whistled for delay of game when he smothered the puck in the circle. Tavares took advantage of the two-man power play when he slam-dunked a cross-crease pass from Nielsen inside the right post. Phoenix managed to kill the remainder of Vermettes penalty, but trailed 2-0 after one period despite a 7-6 edge in shots. Donovan pushed the lead to 3-0 at 11:47 of the second during a power play with a hard shot that Smith smothered. However, the puck trickled behind him and over the line. "The harder you work, the luckier you get," Capuano said. Tavares, the Islanders new captain, notched his second with 5:11 left in the period, and McDonald made it 5-1 just 2:35 later.
