ARLINGTON, Texas -- Doug McDermott, who finished his career at Creighton as college basketballs fifth-leading scorer, is a near-unanimous selection as The Associated Press player of the year. McDermott is the 11th three-time All-American and first in almost 30 years. He led the nation in scoring with a 26.7 average while shooting 52.6 per cent from the field including 44.9 per cent from 3-point range. The 6-foot-8 McDermott averaged 7.0 rebounds in leading the Bluejays to a 27-8 record in their first season as a member of the Big East. He finished his career with 3,150 points. McDermott received 64 votes Thursday from the same 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Russ Smith of Louisville got the other vote. The voting ended on Selection Sunday.

He swung his glove backward along the goal line, and it turned out to be a spectacular move to stop a puck he couldnt see. "I didnt think I could get there," he said. The Kings dont doubt their remarkable rookie goalie. With abundant skill and a bit of luck, Jones made more history while the Kings clobbered a California rival. Jones made 31 saves in his seventh consecutive win to begin his NHL career, and fellow rookie Tyler Toffoli had a goal and an assist in Los Angeles 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night. Jones shutout streak ended at 133 minutes, 26 seconds, but Patrick Marleaus goal with 2:10 to play was just the sixth Jones has allowed in his club-record 7-0 start. He has been unbeatable since his NHL debut on Dec. 3, keeping the Kings on a roll without injured starter Jonathan Quick. "Im happy with the way Ive played thus far, but weve still got two games until the (Christmas) break," Jones said. "Its fun, but we want to make sure we finish out these games the right way." Already the first goalie since the 1938-39 NHL season to record three shutouts in his first six starts, Jones is one victory shy of Bob Froeses NHL record 8-0 start. Jones even earned an assist in the second period on a goal by Toffoli, his teammate in the AHL until recently. "Its not a real surprise to me," Toffoli said. "In Manchester, hes making 50 saves a night. Hes just a big goalie, and hes always in the right spot." Dwight King and Jeff Carter had a goal and an assist apiece for the Kings, who ran over San Jose for their eighth win in nine games to cap a 15-2-4 stretch since Nov. 2. Not everything went well for Los Angeles: Captain Dustin Brown was ejected for a knee-on-knee hit on Tomas Hertl late in the first period. San Joses rookie goal-scorer didnt return to the game, and coach Todd McLellan offered little update, saying only its "not a good thing." Brown and Hertl collided late in the scoreless first period, with Brown making a cut at the SSharks blue line before their right knees connected.dddddddddddd Hertl dropped his equipment on the ice and limped to the dressing room. "Its tough," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "I didnt see the play. I dont know how long hes going to be out." Antti Niemi stopped 28 shots on a miserable night for the Sharks, who have lost six of eight while falling off the pace set by their two Southern California rivals, who have two of the NHLs four best records. The home team has won 15 straight games between San Jose and Los Angeles, including all seven in the Kings second-round playoff series victory last spring. Shortly after Alec Martinez opened the scoring with a wobbly slap shot off Toffolis pass, Toffoli added his ninth goal in impressive fashion, getting an extra-long pass from Slava Voynov and beating Niemi with a vicious wrist shot. The Sharks had two golden opportunities to score on the same sequence late in the period, but Joe Pavelski whiffed on an open net before Tommy Wingels botched an ensuing wraparound chance, allowing Jones to make his latest spectacular save from that awkward position. "When you play against that team, you dont get very many of those chances," McLellan said of the Sharks early woes. "So youve got to at least make the goaltender work, but we didnt do that. Whether were squeezing the sticks too tight, or whatever term you want to use, eventually for us to be successful, they have to produce." In the opening minute of the third, Carter tapped in his 10th goal off a pass from King, who bulled past San Joses Justin Braun after the Sharks neutral-zone turnover. King then chopped home a rebound while Carter generated traffic in front of Niemi. NOTES: Kings D Willie Mitchell missed his third straight game with an injury. ... D Scott Hannan returned to San Joses lineup after missing five games with an upper-body injury. ... Marleau played in his 1,200th career game, and Los Angeles D Drew Doughty played in his 400th. Both have spent their entire careers with one team after making an NHL roster as 18-year-old prodigies. ' ' '
