NEWARK, N.J. -- Robby Fabbri has it pretty good with the St. Louis Blues.The second-year left wing is on a line with Vladimir Tarasenko and Jori Lehtera. One is among the NHLs most renowned talents, and the other is a quality playmaker.So what is Fabbris role on the line?Im just trying to do my part and fit in, he said.Fabbri fit just fine Friday night. He scored twice, Tarasenko had three assists and the Blues beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1.Tarasenko had eight of St. Louis 32 shots on goal, while Ryan Reaves and Jaden Schwartz also scored for the Blues. St. Louis improved to 16-8-4 this season with just its fourth road win.Jake Allen stopped 20 shots and won for the ninth time in 10 starts.We expect to see this every night, Blue coach Ken Hitchcock said.

The Devils dropped to 12-9-6 with their first regulation home loss. Theyve lost two straight by a combined 9-3 margin.We have to acknowledge whats taking place here and acknowledge why we havent played well, Mike Cammalleri said.Tarasenko entered with at least one point in St. Louis last five road games. In those five games, the star had three goals and six assists. Overall, Tarasenko leads the Blues in goals (13), assists (18) and points (31).Were pretty lucky to have him on our side, Allen said.Fabbri put St. Louis up 1:50 into the game, and Allen stopped 10 shots in the second period to hold the lead. The goalie was especially sharp on Miles Woods attempt from close range 3:01 in and Beau Bennetts snap shot 46 seconds later.Reaves made it 2-0 by deflecting Alex Pietrangelos point shot, which appeared to going wide, 5:15 into the second for his first of the season.Parenteau halved the lead 1:21 later by lifting a shot over Allens glove hand, but Schwartzs tip-in on a 5-on-3 power play at 9:42 allowed the Blues to regain the two-goal lead.I thought we did a pretty good job, Devils captain Andy Greene said of the failed penalty kill. Its not like we had a chance to clear the puck and failed. We couldnt get it.Fabbris second goal of the game with 8:36 left ended the scoring.Game notes New Jersey coach John Hynes declined pregame to comment on a report the NHL would not levy supplemental discipline against Canadiens goaltender Carey Price and Devils right wing Kyle Palmieri for their parts in a first-period fracas Thursday night. ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After three preseason games, the Jacksonville Jaguars still have questions -- more like concerns -- about the left side of their offensive line.Free-agent acquisition Kelvin Beachum was rusty in his first game in nearly a year Sunday night against Cincinnati. And Luke Joeckel, the second overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft, looked uncomfortable and sometimes overmatched at guard.Its far from an ideal situation, especially since the Jaguars have little time before the regular-season opener against Green Bay on Sept. 11.Theres a ton of urgency, Beachum said. Theres always urgency when youre playing the game of football. Theres never a dull moment or a time where youre kind of lackadaisical about it. This is your livelihood, this is how you pay your bills, this is how you feed your kids. Theres a heightened sense of urgency that needs to happen. We have a ways to get in a very short amount of time.The Jaguars dont have many options.They expect Beachum and Joeckel to start, but determining which one plays where has proven to be a challenge. Both are natural left tackles. Beachum, however, has played center and right tackle in the NFL.Joeckel, meanwhile, hadnt played anywhere else since before high school. It showed against the Bengals, with defensive tackle Geno Atkins getting the best of Joeckel on several plays.Definitely more comfortable at tackle, said Joeckel, who played well at left tackle in the first two exhibitions. Thats where Ive played my entire life. Got to get more comfortable at guard. Got to be better at guard. ... Theres no excuses. Just got to keep getting reps, keep taking advantage of every rep I get at either position.Got to gain more comfort quickly. I expect more from myself.Jacksonville didnt allow a sack against Cincinnatis formidable front, but there was plenty of presssure and way too many mistakes.dddddddddddd.Beachum, center Brandon Linder (twice) and quarterback Blake Bortles were flagged for false starts. Add those to T.J. Yeldons fumble on the opening possession and linebacker Hayes Pullards nullified touchdown because he forgot to check in with officials, and the Jaguars had a dress rehearsal to forget on national television.And that was just the first half.The biggest takeaway was the play of the line, a unit that allowed an NFL-high 122 sacks the last two seasons.Beachum signed a five-year, $45 million contract in free agency after spending four years in Pittsburgh. He sat out the teams entire offseason program and the first two preseason games while recovering from reconstructive knee surgery. He hadnt played since tearing a ligament in his left knee in October.My body feels like it, he said. Anytime you go, you always want to put your best foot forward. In some ways I did and some ways I didnt. Like I say, get back into the lab and work on those things that I didnt do (well) and just continue to get better.The Jaguars have a short week before traveling to Atlanta for the preseason finale Thursday night. Coach Gus Bradley said the plan is to rest as many starters as possible, so Beachum and Joeckel might not get another chance to iron things out until the opener.Its the preseason, Beachum said. You have to take that into account. ... But at the same time, we cant make excuses, we cant complain about the situation. Weve got to find a way to make plays, to do what we do best, and the only way to do that is to not beat ourselves, and we did that quite a bit.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
