RALEIGH Matt Hunwick Jersey Womens , N.C. —for Friday night’s game against the San Jose Sharks, but he could be set for season debut any day now.It’s one of the developments for the Hurricanes, who’ve been idle for most of the week.“It sounds like it went pretty well for him,” Brind’Amour said of Darling’s conditioning stint. “I think it’s encouraging that he got through it and felt good about his game and put all that behind him for now.”Article continues below ...Darling, playing with the American League Hockey affiliate Charlotte Checkers, stopped 25 shots in a 3-1 victory Wednesday night at Utica, N.Y.Brind’Amour hedged on saying when Darling would be in the lineup, though he has rejoined the team. Darling, 29, has been the projected first-stringer, but he suffered a groin injury in the preseason finale.The Hurricanes will have decisions to make soon about their roster regarding the goalies. Petr Mrazek has played in five games and Curtis McElhinney has been in the nets for four games.San Jose and Carolina both have 5-3-1 records (11 points) and, entering play Thursday night around the league Jeff Skinner Jersey Womens , held first-place spots in their respective divisions.The Sharks have outshot every opponent this season.“We’ve put up some shots and our analytics are pretty good,” San Jose coach Peter DeBoer said. “We’re feeling good about our game.”The Sharks are coming off Tuesday night’s 5-4 victory at Nashville. They’re not interested in changing many aspects of what they’ve been doing.“It’s just a matter of us sticking with our game and doing what we know,” Sharks defenseman Brent Burns said.The Hurricanes are normally interested in playing at a rapid pace, so it’s a pair of teams with objectives that might look familiar to one another.“It’s two teams with very similar styles. Whoever gets their game going first will probably have the most success,” Brind’Amour said. “It’s go hockey, it’s get up and down the ice. We’ve got to obviously control the back end.” Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho has a point in all nine games, matching his career-high for a points streak. Across two games last year against San Jose, he scored three goals — though the Sharks won both matchups, needing overtime for one of them.Micheal Ferland is also on a roll for Carolina with a goal in four consecutive games. That gives him a team-high six goals this season.The Hurricanes made a roster move by calling up center Nicolas Roy from Charlotte. Forward Clark Bishop, who made his NHL debut earlier this month, was sent back to the Checkers after two games with Carolina.This is the opener of a three-game homestand for the Hurricanes, who haven’t played since Monday night’s 3-1 victory at Detroit.The Hurricanes produced two power-play goals in that game after registering just two power-play goals in the first eight games combined.It was a sign of going in the right direction Jaycob Megna Jersey Womens , but it doesn’t mean that the issue has been solved.“You’ve got to work on it every day, that’s the way it’s going to be with this group,” Brind’Amour said.This will mark DeBoer’s 750th game as an NHL head coach.For San Jose, this is the seventh road game of the season. The Sharks go to Anaheim on Sunday to cap the brutal road stretch before four straight home games. DALLAS — When the Ottawa Senators visit the Dallas Stars Friday night one team will see its two-game losing streak end.Ottawa (9-10-3, 21 points) is 2-6-1 on the road after a 6-4 loss at Minnesota on Wednesday night. They followed up a 7-5 loss on Monday at home to the Florida Panthers falling behind early Wednesday in Minnesota.“Every loss, whether it’s this one or another one, you’re not happy about losing period,” Senators coach Guy Boucher said after his allowed six goals for the sixth time this season.Article continues below ...In Wednesday’s loss, Ottawa trailed 2-0 after one period and 4-1 at the second intermission. Despite mounting a nice comeback in the final 20 minutes, the same issues which have plagued the Senators all season continue to be a factor.“We had a major push and we tied the game, but what’s been hurting us is still hurting us,” Boucher said. “It’s the way we defend Max Jones Jersey Womens , just easy coverage in front of the net. We got to get better there. Our forwards have to tie up in front of the net when the puck’s behind the net and we got to get better at it.”Perhaps one positive is that the Senators have already defeated Dallas this season, 4-1 in Ottawa back on October 15.Dallas (11-9-2, 24 points) is also on a two-game losing streak after losing 5-1 at Pittsburgh on Wednesday two days after a 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers and three days after scoring four times in the second period of a 6-2 win over the New York Islanders.Injuries were a big factor for the Stars as eight players were sidelined, including five defensemen and starting goaltender Ben Bishop, expected to miss at least a week with a lower body injury after getting hurt on Monday.Despite the injuries, first-year Dallas coach Jim Montgomery wasn’t making excuses after a disappointing result. “We feel bad and embarrassed about the way we played tonight,” Montgomery said postgame.Montgomery opened his postgame media scrum by falling on the sword for his team’s four-goal loss, saying it was on him because the Stars weren’t adequately prepared to face the Penguins.The Stars, who are 7-3-1 on home ice, have scored two goals or fewer in seven of their last 11 contests.Montgomery has a pretty good idea why the offense is currently stuck in dry dock, and again blamed much of those offensive woes on the aforementioned lack of preparation.“We’re not skating. We’re not together,” Montgomery said. “Our puck support is not good enough. Our timing and spacing Andrej Sustr Jersey Womens , a lot of negatives. I’m not preparing them well enough, so we’re not in sync.”Dallas players and coaches took Thanksgiving off before hosting the Senators on Friday, and Montgomery feels a day to flush this game out of their system is a big positive.“Yeah, tonight’s over with,” Montgomery said Wednesday. ?We just start preparing for Ottawa now, enjoy Thanksgiving at home with family and get back to work on Friday. This is over with.”One positive to come from the loss was the NHL debut of goaltender Landon Bow, who relieved starter Anton Khudobin, who allowed five goals on 16 shots, midway through the middle frame.Bow stopped all 14 shots he faced.But in the end, Stars captain Jamie Benn summed up the loss best.“Pretty embarrassing tonight,” Benn said. “We let our goalie down.”Dallas is 0-3-2 in the last five meetings with Ottawa.
