Last season, it took 2 1/2 months for the San Jose Sharks to earn their fifth home win.It would take a losing streak of epic proportion at the SAP Center at San Jose for that to happen in 2016-17.The Sharks will try to remain perfect at home Thursday night when they face the Calgary Flames, who hope to regain some scoring touch and avoid a season-worst third consecutive loss.San Jose is the only team in the Western Conference yet to lose on home ice this season, posting a 4-0-0 record. The Sharks dropped to 2-4-0 on the road with a 3-1 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday.I loved our start, said Sharks coach Peter DeBoer, whose team led 1-0 after 20 minutes. But thats the thing we need to work most at: When were on top of teams, instead of getting an extra goal and putting them away, we let them hang around.The Sharks have trailed once at home in 2016-17. San Jose allowed a goal 82 seconds into its matchup with the Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 12 before rallying for a 2-1 win.A stout defense, led by Brent Burns and goaltender Martin Jones, has been the backbone of the teams success in San Jose. Last season, the Sharks didnt notch their fifth home win until their 15th game, beating Philadelphia on Dec. 30.Coming off a campaign in which he set career-bests for goals (27), assists (48) and points (75), Burns hasnt slowed down in his 13th NHL season. In 10 games, the 31-year-old has 10 points (three goals, seven assists), tying him with Minnesotas Ryan Suter and Montreals Shea Weber for the most among defensemen.In five games against the Flames last season, Burns was the Sharks leader with five assists and seven points.

The trek includes matchups with all three California teams.We need to stick to our system here, Flames forward Alex Chiasson said following a 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks. We cant fall behind. Weve got to regroup here. Were playing three teams in our division, so were going to have to look at what we did ... and fix a couple things.One part of the game Calgary needs to fix is special teams. The Flames are 4-for-41 with the man advantage this season, and they have surrendered at least one power-play goal in four straight games.We have to shoot the puck more, and weve got to execute, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said Tuesday. We cant be fumbling around and think were going to have a good power play. Weve got to get a little more fluid.Michael Frolik scored short-handed against one of his former teams Tuesday. Frolik leads the Flames with five goals and is tied with Mikael Backlund and Johnny Gaudreau for the team lead with seven points.Mark Giordano was the top scorer for Calgary against San Jose last season with a goal and five assists in five contests. He has failed to register a point in four straight games, and he has just one goal and four assists in 11 games so far.If Brian Elliott gets the start in goal for Calgary, he will be looking for his third straight win in San Jose.

Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Billy Wagner Astros Jersey .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday. Yuli Gurriel Jersey . The No. 1-ranked Nadal tweaked his back warming up for the Australian Open final, which he lost almost four weeks ago in a major upset against Stanislas Wawrinka. His first stop after the layoff is the clay in Rio as he tests the back and tries to stay healthy for the French Open in three months. Alastair Cook was left ruing missed chances in the field as England succumbed to an innings defeat in Mumbai.While Cook admitted England had erred in selection - picking four seamers on a pitch where Indias spinners claimed 19 wickets - he felt the defining moments of the game came when England failed to take chances to dismiss all three of Indias centurions in the relatively early stages of their innings.Jonny Bairstow missed a stumping opportunity off M Vijay when he had 45, Virat Kohli was put down by Adil Rashid - a difficult caught and bowled chance - on 68, and Joe Root put down Jayant Yadav at slip when he had eight. Vijay went on to score 136, Kohli made 235 and Yadav 104.The frustration for Cook is that these things keep happening. The series against Pakistan was littered with missed opportunities - and Rashid also put down a tough chance off Kohli in Visakhapatnam when he had scored 56. He went on to make 167.I keep going back to the chances we missed, Cook told Star Sports. Thats why we lost this game.Yes, we would have liked another spinner. But with the side we had, we had opportunities to bowl India out for 400 and we just didnt take them.Obviously Virat played an extraordinary innings, but we had a chance to get rid of him on 60-odd. Yadav got a 100 and we had a couple of chances to get rid of him. And those are the things the game is changing on. This team, at the moment, were not taking those chances. Its those opportunities that have cost us.Cook also admitted England didnt need that extra seamer in Mumbai. Going into thhe match with six bowlers - two spinners and four quicks - Cook was obliged to ask Rashid and Moeen Ali to deliver more than 50 overs, while none of the seamers bowled more than 20.ddddddddddddThat was a mistake, he said. Its kind of the problem when you dont have any games between Test Matches. We really wanted to see what four seamers looked like, because they are the bowlers so far on this tour who have given us the most control and our two best spinners have been Mo and Rash.Maybe if wed bowled first wed have more control with the four seamers. But clearly when you bat first, you didnt need that extra seamer.Whether it would have changed the game... we were in this game with the balance of that side. We had an opportunity when they were 307 for 6 to restrict Indias lead. Historically, 180 is a good score here in the third innings and its very hard to score much in the fourth innings. So we would have been in the game.But would have, could have isnt really good enough and thats the bottom line: we havent been good enough to get over the line.Cook had praise for Kohli, though: Hes in incredible form. Hes having one of those series you dream of as a player and a captain. You lead from the front and you score a hell of a lot of runs and thats a huge amount of credit to him. Hes clearly one of the great batsmen of our generation. And certainly in these conditions, hes very hard to bowl at when hes in this form. ' ' '
