SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Joe Pavelski figured if the extra goal wasnt going to come, then the Sharks needed extra defense. Martin Jones happily obliged.Logan Couture and Joel Ward scored in the first period and San Jose gave the Chicago Blackhawks their second straight loss with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday night.Guys are competing, Pavelski said. Were coming back, were doing a lot of good things in the D zone. You just keep playing. It will break a little bit but if it doesnt break well keep trying to win like this.Artemi Panarin scored for the Blackhawks, who have back-to-back losses for the first time since opening the season 0-2. They also fell to the Oilers 5-0 on Monday night.Jones, who had his 15th career shutout Monday, stopped 33 shots for his 10th win of the year.It was great. Thats a tough team to play against defensively, and we did a great job, Jones said. Limiting them to what we did tonight was pretty impressive and especially the last two minutes, just not even letting them set up in the zone. That was a great job by everybody.Corey Crawford saved 33 shots for the Blackhawks, who entered with points in 10 of their last 12 games against San Jose.Both goalies were excellent, Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. A lot of skill, a lot of speed, a lot of plays being made, a lot of great players. It was a good hockey game. I thought we had some opportunities to maybe extend the lead and put them away and Crawford made some saves. But it was a great hockey game.Chicago captain Jonathan Toews left with an unspecified injury following the second period. He leads the league with 292 faceoff wins and had a game-high eight after two periods.Its tough when guys go down, especially in the middle of the game, Blackhawks Brent Seabrook said. Its like youre playing short-handed. Hes a big part of this team. He plays in every aspect of the game.The Sharks scored twice in the first period for the second consecutive game, getting a power-play goal from Couture at 11:32 and a short-handed goal from Ward three minutes later.Couture, who scored for the third time in four games after netting three goals over his first 16, beat Crawford to the glove side after taking a sharp pass from Pavelski.Chris Tierney, from behind the net, threw the puck down the center of the ice and Ward got the jump on Seabrook, who slipped going after the puck. Ward patiently worked the puck deep and got Crawford on the ice for an easy tap in.I made a huge error on that one by not coming out, Crawford said. I was a little flat-footed and I didnt read it well. I should have played the puck. I wasnt patient enough on that one.The Blackhawks responded with a goal in the second period. Niklas Hjalmarsson dug out the puck from along the boards and flipped a pass to a streaking Artem Anisimov, who found Panarin. The second-year wing clanked the puck off the right side post and into the net.Crawford, who has allowed 13 goals in his last four games, was a rock over the final 45 minutes, though Jones was also up to the task.Game notes Pavelski has points in each of his last four games. ... The Sharks have recorded a short-handed goal in two straight. ... Hjalmarsson recorded his 12th point in 26 games against the Sharks. ...

WACO, Texas -- Baylor hired Mack Rhoades as its new athletic director on Wednesday, bringing in an experienced administrator it believes will help the reeling program rebound from allegations that it didnt properly handle sexual assault claims against its football players.Rhoades had been Missouris athletic director only since April 2015, a month after he was named to the position.He is a charismatic leader who pays careful attention to details and cultivates solidarity among the coaches and staff, interim school president David Garland said in a statement. He intends to build champions on the field and on the court and to mold student-athletes into champions in their lives after sports. Most importantly, he is committed to and excited by Baylors Christian mission and vision.Rhoades replaces Ian McCaw, who resigned on May 30 after he was put on probation as part of Baylors response to a scathing report about its failure to properly respond to allegations of sexual assaults. That report also led the departure of football coach Art Briles. Baylor has hired former Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe to replace Briles.The 50-year-old Rhoades previously was AD at Houston for nearly six years, where he hired former Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman as head coach of the Cougars. He was also the athletic director at Akron from 2005-09, and worked in the athletic departments at UTEP, Marquette and Yale.I look forward to the opportunity to join Baylor University at this important time in its history, Rhoades said in a statement. I am excited to support and develop programs of the highest caliber, in facilities that are second to none, alongside coaches who are among the best in the industry, all grounded in a Christian tradition and committed to academic excellence.Baylor plans to formally introduce during a news conference Monday.Much has changed at Missouri in Rhoades 15 months on the job.Student protests on campus over social issues and racial tensions spilled over into the athletic department last season when the football team essentially went on strike in support of the protesters, who were demanding the resignation of university systems President Tim Wolfe. Former coach Gary Pinkel and Rhoades stood by the players, who in the end didnt miss any practice time, much less a game.dddddddddddd Both the president and school chancellor, R. Bowen Loftin, resigned.The past year has taught me a great deal about who I am as a person and as a leader, Rhoades said. I am very grateful to the people Ive worked with and come to know throughout the state of Missouri. The experience has helped galvanized a commitment to my core values and to the values I want to infuse into an athletics program.Pinkel retired after last season and announced he was fighting cancer. Permanent replacements for Wolfe and Loftin, who hired Rhoades, have not been hired.Rhoades promoted defensive coordinator and former Missouri player Barry Odom to head coach, but the school, athletic department and Rhoades have faced continuing criticism from fans, boosters and state lawmakers for their handling of the players threatened boycott. Rhoades also had to hire a new baseball coach and dealt with a Title IX office investigation of softball coach Ehren Earleywine.The announcement of Rhoades departure to Baylor came on the same day Missouri was one of the teams appearing at SEC football media days in Hoover, Alabama.Hes got an opportunity that he thought was best for him and I know that Im very, very excited about the University of Missouri and what Ive got in place with my staff from a football program standpoint, said Odom, who had a long discussion with Rhoades on Tuesday night. I absolutely know well get a great director of athletics in here. The things weve done in the last eight months are going to set us up for the next 20 years.Baylor is facing at least three federal lawsuits brought by women who claim the school was indifferent to or ignored claims of sexual assault and didnt enforce federal gender discrimination protections under Title IX. When Baylor released its report May 26, school regents suspended Briles with intent to terminate. The school and Briles mutually agreed to part ways a month later.---AP College Football Writer Ralph D. Russo and AP Sports Writer David Brandt contributed to this report. ' ' '
