Michael Matthews collected his first career Tour de France stage win with victory ahead of world champion Peter Sagan in Revel on Tuesday.Australian sprinter Matthews won from the remnants of the breakaway at the end of the 197-kilometre stage 10 from Escaldes-Engordany, having had two Orica-BikeExchange team-mates in the final group of seven riders out in front.The 25-year-old had time to sit up and celebrate at the line even as Sagan made a desperate bid to snatch the win, and the Tinkoff rider had to settle for an all-t-familiar second place.Team Skys Chris Frme finished safely in the peloton almost 10 minutes behind Matthews to retain the yellow jersey.Matthews has now won stages in all three Grand Tours. Its unbelievable, its just sinking in, Matthews said.I was close to giving in at this race after crashes in recent years. I thought maybe this race is not for me but today my dream has come true.For Sagan, it was a 17th second place in Tour de France stages, but he could console himself after reclaiming the green jersey from Mark Cavendish.The sun was shining as the race left Escaldes-Engordany, immediately onto the ascent of the Port dEnvilar, the highest point of this years Tour.Several breaks tried to get away on the way up but it was Lampre-Meridas Rui Costa who crested the summit alone before they tackled a long descent made treacherous by thick fog.That made it difficult for the riders to keep tabs on what their rivals were up to, and Frme admitted he had to pay particularly close attention to Movistars Nairo Quintana.The Colombian, who is 23 seconds down in fourth place overall, attacked when snow caused pr visibility on the Stelvio during the 2014 Giro dItalia -- a race he went on to win.Descending in that mist and not being able to see much of what was going on, I imagine it felt a little bit like riding in the Giro a few years ago when Nairo slipped off the front, Frme said.I was just trying to keep an eye on him.As they dropped back into France from Andorra a 15-man break assembled, with Sagan, Giro dItalia winner Vincenzo Nibali, and stage seven winner Steve Cummings among their number.With that opening climb out of the way, the rest of the stage was largely flat but light rain fell as the break pulled almost seven minutes clear.As they neared Revel the break split in two, with Sagan going clear along with Sam Dumoulin (AG2r La Mondiale), Greg van Avermaet (BMC), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data) and Orica-BikeExchange trio Matthews, Daryl Impey and Luke Durbridge.Inside the last 15km, the peloton eased up to allow the breakaway their fun and it became a battle between the front seven.Sagan led them over the short category three climb, the Cote de Saint Ferreol, seven kilometres from the finish before Durbridge, having done his turn for his team-mates, dropped back.Van Avermaet was the first to light it up on the home straight but as the others responded it was Matthews who found the burst of speed to break clear.It was never the plan to go for a breakaway today, Matthews added.We wanted a bunch sprint finish but were such a strong group of guys. Durbridge and Impey gave me everything to win today. I have no words to describe what they did for me. NFL Jerseys 2020 .

LOUIS -- Blues coach Ken Hitchcock calls his fourth line forwards the specialists. Lately, theyve simply been special.Kyle Brodziak got the tiebreaking goal 7:28 into the third period, lifting St. Louis over the Nashville Predators 3-1 on Saturday night.Vladimir Tarasenko and David Perron also scored and Jake Allen made 30 saves, helping the Blues finish 3-0 on their homestand. St. Louis is 8-1-2 at home this season.The play of the Blues fourth line of Brodziak, Scottie Upshall and Ryan Reaves was the catalyst. The unit was a collective plus-3, had four shots and five hits.Were out here to do a job and if we dont do it, were told about it, Upshall said. But things have been going gd. Weve turned things around here, a gd week at home, and its gd to chip in.Fourth lines are generally expected to provide energy and ice time until the playmakers can get back off the bench. Hitchcocks crew is showing rare skill so far down the roster.They make plays, Hitchcock said. They make smart plays. They make scoring chances. They caused the first power play that we got in the game. They create all kind of zone pressure. They were the one line in the first period that was able to maintain pressure in the offensive zone.Mike Ribeiro scored and Pekka Rinne made 31 saves for Nashville, which finished a three-game trip 1-2.The Blues snapped a two-game losing streak vs. Nashville but have dominated the Predators at Scottrade Center, winning five straight.

He put in a rebound off Upshalls shot after the pair entered on a 2-on-1 following P.K. Subbans turnover.I think for the most part all year we felt pretty gd about generating chances, being in their zone and we felt that if we kept playing that way the goals were going to come, Brodziak said. And fortunately the last couple of games wevee been able to chip in.ddddddddddddPredators coach Peter Laviolette believed a cross-checking penalty should have been called against the Blues, which caused Subban to turn the puck over.I thought we were gd for two periods, Laviolette said. They seemed to grab some momentum off of that power play to open the third period and shortly after that we just couldnt seem to corral it. They gained some momentum and I think the shots were seven or eight to nothing at one point there. We start the third and we just couldnt get going.Tarasenko ripped a wrist shot past Rinne to make it 3-1 with 8:24 left for his team-high seventh goal of the season. The goal came off a rush following a couple of Allen saves amid a Nashville flurry moments earlier.Perron put the Blues up 1-0 3:09 into the second period with a backhand rebound off Jay Bouwmeesters shot from the point. Perron has a point in each of the last four games.Hes really competitive at the puck, Hitchcock said. Hes got a big mans game at the puck that makes him a very effective player in the NHL now.Ribeiro tied it with a power-play goal 8:59 into the second by pouncing on a puck in the crease that had trickled through Allen after he got a piece of Craig Smiths shot. The Blues couldnt convert on two chances to clear the puck leading to the goal.James Neal had his six-game goal streak snapped for the Predators.Game notes The Blues acquired D Reid McNeill from the Penguins in exchange for F Danny Kristo.
