SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks meet Tuesday night, looking as much to reacquaint themselves with West Coast hockey as to get their early struggles straightened out.The Sharks play for the first time at SAP Center since opening night on Oct. 12 when San Jose beat Los Angeles 2-1. The Sharks have been on the road ever since, capping a 2/3 trip on Saturday with a 3-0 loss at Detroit.The Ducks, who opened the season with four straight losses during a five-game trip, beat Vancouver 4-2 on Sunday at Honda Center before climbing right back on a plane.San Jose and Anaheim have combined to play 10 of its first 12 games away. Tuesday marks the first of three in a row at home for the Sharks while the Ducks will play as hosts five of the next six after Tuesday.Both are taking the opportunity of home cooking to tweak how theyve gone about things thus far. For the Sharks, that means new forward-line combinations, and the Ducks are looking to spark a slow-starting power play.San Jose coach Peter DeBoer will have offseason acquisition Mikkel Boedkers added speed on the left wing alongside center Joe Thornton and captain Joe Pavelski. Former top-liner Tomas Hertl moves to center to play with wingers Patrick Marleau and Matt Nieto.In addition, right winger Joel Ward joins center Logan Couture and Joonas Donskoi, and Chris Tierney will center a fourth group including Melker Karlsson and Tommy Wingels.Its not a panic situation or anything, I think youre always looking for ways to get the most out of your group, DeBoer told CSN Bay Area. Our four-line game hasnt been where I want it to be.Defenseman Brent Burns is off to a fast start offensively. He has three goals and nine points to share the league scoring lead with Edmontons Connor McDavid before Mondays play. Pavelski has two goals and seven points and Couture and Thornton have five points apiece.There are nights where we handle the puck well and make some passes and keep it pretty simple. Weve had success on those nights, Pavelski told the San Jose Mercury News. You just have to understand the recipe. ... Theres really no shortcuts around it.In addition, San Joses power play contributed a goal in each of its first three games, but is 0 of 8 in the last three outings. Overall, the Sharks are 3 of 20 on the power play as are the Ducks. Both teams look to get their special teams going.When you look at the history of the group, I dont any doubt theyre going to have success, DeBoer told CSN Bay Area. It hasnt started the way we wanted, the puck hasnt gone in and were pressing a little bit now, but that will turn around.I think that mimics our five-on-fove play a little bit. Were creating some chances but not winning. Weve got to find a way to stick some pucks in the net.The Ducks put defenseman Shea Theodore, a recent call-up, on the power play to add a spark and the group responded with a 1-of-2 effort during a win over the Canucks. The power play is one area that Anaheim is missing hold-out restricted free agent Hampus Lindholm.We know Shea Theodore has that ability, offensive instincts and whatnot to run a power play, Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle told the Orange County Register. Right now, he gives us that option of not taxing Cam (Fowler) and Sami Vatanen. To play the full two minutes of a power play, thats tough. Plus to play a regular shift, plus theyre getting some penalty-killing time.At even strength, the Ducks rely as usual on veteran forwards Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, who are joined by Nick Richie on left wing. Getzlaf leads the team with eight points on the strength of seven assists.Perry, who is next, has three goals and five points. His next point will be career No. 670 and will make Perry third on the franchise list in points behind Teemu Selanne (988) and Getzlaf (749).Getzlaf, the captain, sees his team gaining momentum.Weve been building, Getzlaf told the teams website. It started in the second period against the Islanders (Oct. 16, a 3-2 shootout loss). Weve started to build something from there.Anaheim, which plays San Jose three times between Nov. 26-Dec. 27, won the last three meetings between the teams last year after losing its 2015-16 season opener to the Sharks. Taylor Rapp Womens Jersey . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. Darrell Henderson Youth Jersey . Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23. MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Cory-Littleton-Jersey/ . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style. Aaron Donald Jersey .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview. Every day Im flooded with messages from Indians all over the world telling me they are supporting me. Tyler Higbee Youth Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.Spinner Liam Dawson has been included in Englands squad for the World Twenty20, despite coach Trevor Bayliss admitting he has never seen the Hampshire man play. Dawson has been named ahead of all-rounder Chris Woakes, who is the surprise omission and the only difference to the original 15-man squad named to face South Africa in two Twenty20 encounters after the current one-day series.Steven Finn was in that initial squad, but was replaced by Woakes after suffering a side strain in the Test series and will not be risked ahead of the tournament, which starts in India on March 8 and will be shown live on Sky Sports. Hampshires Dawson impressed Trevor Bayliss in practice in the UAE Hes coming along very well. Hes got plenty of time, Bayliss told Sky Sports News HQ. He was our best bowler in the first two Tests and that wasnt all that long ago, so Im sure hell hit the ground running.Bayliss said Woakes was unlucky to miss out as England have opted to take three spinners to India.Hes disappointed but thats the way it goes sometimes. If it was somewhere else in the world, he could have been one of the lucky ones. Im sure hell continue to work hard and hes certainly still a part of our plans going forward. Chris Woakes misses out on the squad for the tournament in India England Lions regular Dawson is yet to play for the full national side, but impressed Bayliss when he joined the squad in practice in the UAE.To be honest, I dont know a lot about him. I havent seen him play a game, said Bayliss. He came to a practice when we were out in the UAE with the Lions and I saw him in the nets. Steven Finn is included, despite his recovery from a side strain From a bowling point of view, he gets a bit on the ball, he looks like hes got something about him personality-wise and he can bat as well and is a good fielder apparently, so Im looking forward to seeing him close up.Bayliss said Kevin Pietersen was never considered for a recall, despite his impressive form in the recent Big Bash tournament in Australia.He wasnt even discussed in the selection meeting, added Bayliss. Everyone is very happy with the young team that we have got. England head coach Trevor Bayliss admits hes never seen Liam Dawson play. The Hampshire spinner is the surprise selection in Englands squad Weve played very well in T20 cricket in tthe last six months or so and we just want to move forward with that team.ddddddddddddWe certainly feel we can win it. In T20, you get on a roll pretty quickly one way or the other and you can go out the back door pretty quickly, but you can also get a number of wins quickly. Liam Dawson says hes excited but nervous about being selected for Englands T20 World Cup squad We have to start very well, but the way weve been playing, theres no reason that we cant - if we play some good cricket.Kent wicket-keeper batsman Sam Billings admits he is delighted for Dawson, insisting he will add a new dimension to the squad in India.
