GLENDALE, Ariz. -- San Jose Sharks coach Peter DeBoer and Arizona Coyotes coach Dave Tippett endured similar challenges early this season.Both had a group of players report late to training camp after playing in the World Cup of Hockey. Both played one home game before embarking on lengthy road trips -- the Sharks for five games, the Coyotes for six.I think our five-game road trip was a little bit of a reflection of the lack of preparation we had with the group, DeBoer said Monday after practice at Gila River Arena as his team readied to face the Coyotes on Tuesday.We had seven guys away, so we didnt get a chance to get our group together for very long. We really only had one exhibition game where we actually had our group together and maybe a couple practices.The difference for DeBoer is that he coaches a veteran-laden, star-studded team that advanced to the Stanley Cup Final last season. Tippett coaches a team with four rookies and four second-year players on its 22-man roster.That gap is reflected in the standings. San Jose entered Tuesdays game with a 6-3 record, in second place in the Pacific Division, and Arizona was 2-6, in last place in the Pacific and NHL standings.The surprising one for me is our record, Tippett said. I expected us to be better than this. These close games, those are the frustrating ones because we should be finding ways to get more points than we have.The Coyotes last four losses have all been one-goal games, with New Jersey adding an empty-net goal with 14 seconds remaining to win 5-3 on Oct. 25 at Prudential Center.With so much youth in the lineup, along with four new faces added in free agency, Tippett is still tinkering with his lines to find the right mix.That tinkering continued Monday when the Coyotes assigned rookie center Christian Dvorak to Tucson of the American Hockey League to make room for 2015 first-round pick (No. 3 overall) Dylan Strome, who has played in just three games this season.Arizona has three junior-eligible players on whom it must make decisions soon. Per the CHL-NHL agreement, junior-eligible players can only play nine games in the NHL before teams must engage the first year of their entry-level deals or send them back to their junior clubs. In addition to Strome, defenseman Jakob Chychrun has played seven games and left winger Lawson Crouse has played five.Optionality is a good thing so Im not going to close any options; thats for sure, Coyotes general manager John Chayka said when asked about plans for those players. Youre trying to balance whats best for the players and their long-term needs with the needs of the team and where that player is in all of that.Youve got to define exactly what it is that player needs to play at the NHL level and excel and be the player you drafted or acquired him to be. Then you ask whats the best place for that development to occur. Some things are better served to be worked on in the NHL; some things are better served to be worked on in juniors.San Jose is more concerned with fine-tuning than major roster decisions. While much of the team that advanced to the Stanley Cup Final is back, DeBoer is still trying to find a home for free-agent signing Mikkel Boedker, a former Coyote who signed a four-year, $16 million deal with the Sharks in the summer.Its always tough to find skill guys the right kind of chemistry and sometimes its not even finding the right chemistry, its letting that chemistry develop, keeping him with the same guys, DeBoer said.Boedker, who has just one goal in nine games, began the year playing on a line with center Logan Couture and left winger Joonas Donskoi. Now he is playing on the top line with center Joe Thornton and right winger Joe Pavelski.Youve got to get accustomed to it and theyve got to get accustomed to the way I play, Boedker said. Big Joe is an amazing player and Pavs is a goal scorer, so youve got to fill in where you need to fill in. I guess on that line it will be a lot of hunting the pucks down and making sure I get it to them and then going in and making sure I create some room.Martin Jones is expected to make his fifth straight start in goal for San Jose. Louis Domingue will start for Arizona in place of injured starter Mike Smith (left leg).Smith skated on his own for the first time since suffering the injury on Oct. 18 in Ottawa and is still listed as week to week. Arizona defenseman Michael Stone is also questionable for Tuesdays game with an upper-body injury suffered Thursday in Philadelphia.Dustin Fowler Jersey . Artturi Lehkonen, Joni Nikko and Ville Leskinen had the other goals for Finland (1-0) while Juuse Saros stopped 28 shots. Tim Robin Johnsgard had the lone goal for Norway (0-2). Tanner Roark Jersey .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. https://www.cheapathleticsonline.com/2085m-dennis-eckersley-jersey-athletics.html ., and Rudi Swiegers of Kipling, Sask., took sixth spot on Saturday in pairs at the NHK Trophy ISU Grand Prix figure skating competition. Sean Manaea 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. Ryan Buchter Jersey . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high three points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak.After another thrilling week on Raw and Smackdown, we have picked out five of our favourite moments.As ever, we have had a difficult time in whittling the list down from a week that began with an all-action Hell in a Cell and gathered pace when Raw got underway.So with tag-team announcements, Halloween Trick or Street Fights and plenty more to choose from, what made the cut?
