    A team meeting that included an appearance from a team executive at the end of a difficult road trip temporarily re-energized the San Jose Sharks. Now John Tavares Jersey , they know the need to build off of it.Back at SAP Center for one game, the Sharks meet the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday night.San Jose (13-10-5) avoided going winless on a five-game road trip with Sunday’s 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The Sharks were outscored 20-7 during the first four games of the swing, prompting a team meeting that was attended by general manager Doug Wilson.Article continues below ...Logan Couture saw it as a reaffirmation.“The tone was we can figure this out,” the San Jose center said after the win. “We have the team to win games in this league. It takes a full buy-in from everyone to do things right, and I think tonight is a step in that direction. I thought we did a lot of the little things well tonight.”But changes were yet to come. On Tuesday, the San Jose Mercury News reported that coach Peter DeBoer made the decision to shuffle the responsibilities of his three assistants.“We’re close, but we’ve been close for 30 games now almost,” DeBoer said. “A third of the season’s over and we’re not finding the right side of that line to get more wins.”The Sharks won’t be home for long. After this game, San Jose takes on the Dallas Stars and Arizona Coyotes on consecutive nights starting Friday.But DeBoer’s club is 6-1-1 in the last eight at SAP Center and looking for a fourth consecutive home win over Carolina.Captain Joe Pavelski noted that the team willing to take that extra step is generally more successful.“At the end of the day, it usually comes down to wanting it a little bit more, competing a little bit more, sacrificing a little more,” said Pavelski, who has a team-high 17 goals. “We’ve been in a tough stretch Authentic Jordan Eberle Jersey , but it’s nice to get a win and hopefully we can keep climbing now.”That could happen against a Hurricanes team that has managed just four goals in their last four games and is coming off a 2-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday. Carolina (12-10-4) ranks near the bottom of the league with an average of 2.50 goals per game.“Michael Ferland paces the club with 11 goals, but he’s missed the last two games with a concussion and is not with the team. Sebastien Aho, who broke out with 29 goals last season, has just seven through 26 games.“We’re going to be talking about this all year,” Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour told the team’s official website on Tuesday. “That’s our group. We need to out-chance teams to be successful.”The ‘Canes are going for a split of the season series. On Oct. 26, Carolina rallied from a pair of two-goal deficits and Brock McGinn posted the only goal in the shootout for a 4-3 victory.Both teams are reportedly getting players back in the lineup.According to the Mercury News, Sharks winger Timo Meier is expected back Wednesday after missing the last three games with an upper-body injury. He ranks second on the team with 13 goals and is tied for third with 23 points.Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce has been sidelined for the last nine games with a lower-body injury.“He’s given me the nod that he’s 100 percent,” Brind’Amour told the team’s official website after practice on Tuesday.Pesce has two goals and an assist in 17 games. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Carolina captain Justin Williams made sure the Hurricanes rebounded from a “dud” of a loss.Williams and Micheal Ferland scored in the game’s first 30 seconds and the Carolina Hurricanes held on for a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.“Listen, winning is a lot more fun, isn’t it?” Williams said. “A better attitude, a lot more fun around the dressing room.”The Hurricanes lost 4-1 at home on Saturday night to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Williams didn’t mince words after that loss, the team’s seventh in nine games.“It was a dud,” Williams said on Saturday. “Just call it what it was. A dud. And certainly unacceptable.”Jordan Staal sprung Williams Josh Bailey Jersey , who cut between Travis Zajac and Taylor Hall to give Carolina a 1-0 lead just 22 seconds in.Eight seconds later, New Jersey defenseman Damon Severson turned the puck over in the neutral zone and Teuvo Teravainen fed Ferland, who sent a one-timer past New Jersey goalie Cory Schneider (20 saves) for a 2-0 lead.Carolina’s two-goal outburst in the first half-minute is the fastest in franchise history and tied for fifth-fastest in NHL history.“It never hurts in the NHL to come up with two goals early and make them chase us,” Staal said.Goalie Curtis McElhinney made it stand up, finishing with 33 saves for Carolina, which improved to 2-1-1 after four games of a six-game homestand.The Devils, who lost in overtime at home on Saturday to the Detroit Red Wings, cut the deficit in half when Pavel Zacha flipped a backhander past McElhinney at 6:33 in the first.But New Jersey was 0 for 5 on the power play, including three empty chances in the second period.“I thought after the first 30 seconds, we gathered ourselves and played well,” New Jersey coach John Hynes said. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a way to put the puck in the net.”New Jersey had a 34 to 25 edge in shots, but could only get one shot by McElhinney. Will Butcher had two great chances to tie the game at 2, one in the second period and another in the final minute of the game Brady Skjei Jersey , but McElhinney was up to the task.“We had a couple of nice saves when we needed them,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said.Williams, who scored for the first time since Oct. 13, was happy with how the team responded after Saturday’s loss.“You always want to atone for an average game, actually well below-average,” Williams said. “I didn’t play great last game and you always want to get back at it. The good news for me was there was another game in less than 24 hours.”Brind’Amour was happy to get a win, only the third in regulation in 11 home games, and how the veteran leaders stepped up.“I thought our best players were our veteran guys,” Brind’Amour said. “We needed a win and they got us one.”But the first-year coach wasn’t pleased with the turnovers or how many chances his team created after the explosive first minute.“There’s a lot to still get better at,” Brind’Amour said. “At the end of the day, we got the win and it was an ugly win and you have to have those.”NOTES: Devils center Nico Hischier was out for the fourth straight game with an upper-body injury. … Ferland’s goal in the first period was his team-leading 10th of the season and third in four games for Carolina. … Schneider, who missed the first eight games with a hip injury, is winless in four starts this season. . The Hurricanes have only been outshot twice this season (at Chicago on Nov. 8) but they are 2-0 in those games.UP NEXTDevils: Host the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.Hurricanes: Host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.
