RALEIGH, N.C. -- The San Jose Sharks are aiming to repeat their epic November road trip from a year ago.The soon-to-be Western Conference champions reeled off six consecutive road wins last season over a nine-day period after a mediocre start.Now, San Jose is 3-0-0 on its current six-game Eastern Conference swing, having outscored Washington, Florida and Tampa Bay -- three pretty good teams -- by a combined 10-3 heading into a game at Carolina on Tuesday night as part of another six-game road trip.Sharks goalie Martin Jones has a .959 save percentage during the road trip, raising his season save percentage to .913. He finished at .918 last season.They are one of the better teams in the league overall, not just in the West, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. It looks liked their same timing from a year ago, getting on a roll. They are a good veteran team and are good on the back end. (Defenseman) Brent Burns is a special player back there with the fact that hes up the ice a lot and is unpredictable and can shoot it, so we have to know where he is on the ice. They have a nice, deep team.Carolina, last in the Metropolitan Division and in the middle of a five-game homestand, has had surprising success against the Sharks, going 8-3 over the past 11 meetings despite missing the playoffs the last seven seasons.They are a good team and have had success in the past, but I dont know if you get extra motivated to play them, said Carolinas leading scorer, Jeff Skinner. You should be motivated anyway, but were all aware how good a team they are, so you have to come in knowing its a good opportunity to rise to the challenge.Peters didnt rule out the return of two-time All-Star defenseman Justin Faulk, although it is more likely Faulk could return Friday against the red-hot Montreal Canadiens.Hes close; he was able to do everything in practice but the battles, Peters said of his star defenseman, who has missed two games with an upper-body injury.Peters juggled his lines Saturday night in a 5-1 win against the Capitals after the Hurricanes had gotten off to another slow start to the season. The new line of Jordan Staal, Teuvo Teravainen and Sebatian Aho picked up 11 points vs. Washington.Were trying to find the right spot for a lot of different guys, Peters said.Defenseman Matt Tennyson made his Carolina debut against Washington, and he will be in action again Tuesday against his former team.He deserves the opportunity to stay in the lineup, Peter said. The whole trick is no matter how many minutes you get is to be productive on those minutes, and he managed the puck well the other night. He looked like he was real composed out there.On Monday, the Hurricanes terminated the contract of Jakub Nakladal. The 28-year-old defenseman was signed by Carolina as a free agent Oct. 9. He appeared in three games and did not register a point and was minus-4, averaging 14:30 of ice time.

SAN DIEGO -- Brandon Finnegan and two Cincinnati Reds relievers Friday night ruined what could have been an epic showdown Saturday night at Petco Park.Or, they beat Anthony DeSclafini to the punch.Finnegan, Michael Lorenzen and Blake Wood shut out the Padres on six hits Friday night at Petco Park -- meaning the Padres didnt get a home run , ending San Diegos National League record-tying streak of games with at least one homer at 25 straight.The effort of the Reds trio ruined a showdown rematch between the Padres hitters and another right-handed Reds starter -- DeSclafini.Back on June 26, DeSclafini and left-handed reliever Tony Cingrani combined to shut out the Padres on five hits. In their very next game, the Padres launched their streak of homering in 25 straight games.The win over the Padres was the second in the DeSclafinis run of six straight wins.DeSclafini will be making his 10th start of the season Saturday night. He is the first Cincinnati pitcher to produce at least six wins without a loss over his first nine starts since Paul Wilson went 6-0 in his first nine starts in 2004.DeSclafini has a 3.09 earned run average since starting his 2016 season 10 weeks late due to a strained left oblique muscle suffered in his last spring training start.Anthony is just hitting his stride, Reds manager Bryan Price said of the 26-year-old, who was 9-for-13 with a 4.05 ERA in 31 starts for the Reds last season.DeSclafini will be matched against Padres left-hander Christian Friedrich Saturday night, who overnight became the dean of the Padres rotation when right-handed starters Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea were both traded to Miami TThursday morning in a seven-player trade.ddddddddddddSaturday will be Friedrichs 14th start, which is the most among the Padres current rotation of -- from top to bottom -- Luis Perdomo, Friedrich, Edwin Jackson (who gave up six runs to the Reds on Friday night on 10 hits in five innings), Paul Clemens and Jarred Cosart, who was one of four players acquired by the Padres from the Marlins.Clemens replaces Rea in the Padres rotation Sunday in the series finale against the Reds. Cosart moves into the rotation Monday when the Brewers come to Petco Park.The 28-year-old Friedrich has a 5.00 ERA and his performance has been slipping.His most recent start last Sunday in Washington was his shortest of the season, lasting only three innings during which he allowed five runs on six hits and a walk with no strikeouts.Christian is fine when he hits his spots, said Padres manager Andy Green. But he has to hit his spots to be in command.Friedrich is 0-4 over his last five starts with a 7.72 ERA. He is 1-5 over his last seven starts with a 7.86 ERA.His ERA has climbed in each of his last seven starts, ballooning from 2.12 to 5.00. Still, the Padres are 6-7 in his 13 starts.One of the things you like about Friedrich is that he is competitive, said Green. Hes going to give you everything he has. With a few exceptions, hes given us a chance to win. For the most part, hes been in close games.But Friedrichs margin of error might be reduced if DeSclafini duplicates his first career start against the Padres on June 26. ' ' '
