The Islanders stayed with the fleet and powerful Sharks as Nelson tipped in Matt Donovan's shot from the point to make it 3-2 at 17:02 of the second for his 12th goal. But Havlat's goal put San Jose up 4-2. Nielsen completed the scoring at 19:38 of the third with Nabokov pulled for an extra skater. The Sharks (44-17-7) are battling Anaheim for the top spot in the Pacific Di - vision. San Jose will play at the New York Rangers on Sunday. The Islanders played without speedy forward Michael Grabner (concus- sion) in their first home game since trading forward Thomas Vanek and defen- seman Andrew MacDonald last week. Johan Sundstrom made his debut for the Islanders, the ninth rookie to play for them this season. The Sharks are 8-1-1 in their streak of 12 games against Eastern opponents. This was their first visit to Long Island since Oct. 29, 2011. The Islanders (25-34-9) tied the franchise record for goals in a period on Mon - day, scoring seven in the third in a 7-4 comeback win over the Canucks in Van- couver. But they mustered little against Niemi (33-13- 6), who replaced Nabokov as the Sharks starter af - ter helping Chicago win the Stanley Cup in 2010.

Sharks FrOM PAge 1 By The Associated Press SCOTTSDALe, Ariz. » Giants opening-day starter Madi- son Bumgarner pitched five stellar innings and Hunter Pence hit a pair of solo hom- ers, pacing the San Fran- cisco Giants to a 4-0 vic- tory over a Colorado Rock- ies split-squad on Friday. B u m g a r n er, a lef t - hander, gave up two hits, walked one and struck out four. He is manager Bruce Bochy's choice to start at Arizona in the regular-sea - son opener on March 31. Pence hit his second and third home runs of the spring, both off left-hander Christian Friedrich. Fried - rich will start the season in the minor leagues. Giants lefty setup man Jeremy Affeldt continued his road back from ham - string issues with a score- less seventh inning. Bumgarner is pleased with his progress this spring. "I'm not quite there yet, but I'm almost there," he said Friday. "Today, I had command of my curve and my change and my fastball. I felt good all in all." Giants pitchers have made a pact to improve themselves while swing - ing the bat this season, and Bumgarner did his part, coming up with a run-scor- ing single in the fourth in- ning. "The pitchers want to keep that going and not leave it back in Arizona," Bumgarner said. Athletics 9, Royals 9 SUrPriSe , Ariz . » Da n Straily worked four prom- ising innings, Derek Norris and Michael Taylor hom- ered and Oakland and Kan- sas City played to a 9-9 tie in nine innings. Straily went 10-8 with a 3.96 ERA in 27 starts as a rookie last season with Oak - land. Straily allowed three hits and one run, an Alex Gor- don homer. Norris hit a three-run homer in the second off Danny Duffy, while Taylor connected for his third in the fourth. Billy Burns went 3 for 4 and stole his Cactus League-leading eighth base. Duffy gave up five runs on five hits, three walks and a hit batter in two innings. Justin Maxwell went 3 for 4 with a double and drove in two Royals' runs. Fran - cisco Pena homered on a full-count pitch with two out in the ninth to tie it, but he was told afterward he was being optioned to Triple-A Omaha. SPriNg BASeBALL Giants win shutout Bumgarner pitches five stellar innings, Pence hits two home runs By Tim reynolds The Associated Press Phil Jackson is returning to the NBA. Jackson has agreed to run the New York Knicks' front office and will be intro - duced at a news conference Tuesday morning, a per- son familiar with the nego- tiations between the 11-time champion coach and the team told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity be - cause the Knicks would only confirm that a "major announcement" involving team executives was sched- uled. Jackson also did not make any immediate pub- lic comment. The move had been ex- pected for several days, with Knicks star Carmelo Anthony saying earlier in the week that he was told Jackson would be "coming on board" with the team, which has not won an NBA championship since 1973. Jackson played for that team. He has been out of the league and largely out of the public eye since 2011, when he ended his coach - ing stint with the Los An- geles Lakers. His arrival in New York will likely usher in a new era for the Knicks, who may miss the playoffs this season after winning 54 games a year ago. Even NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said earlier this week that he wanted to see Jackson back in the game, saying "the league needs him." Apparently, the Knicks felt they needed him as well.
