a 1-of-2 effort during a win over the Canucks.

Major League Baseball will require teams to start many games earlier than normal beginning in 2018, thanks to a provision in the new labor agreement that goes into effect when either team faces a flight longer than 2? hours after the game.Sources told ESPN that the getaway-day changes will apply if a team has a game -- or even an off day at home -- the next day.The new rules also will prohibit teams from scheduling an early-afternoon game the following day if one of the clubs played a night game in a different city the evening before.The changes were adopted after the players union made scheduling and start times a priority in the labor talks, in an effort to reduce the wear and tear of travel and sleep deprivation.Players have long complained about the number of trips that force teams to arrive at their next destination at 5 a.m. local time or later, allowing for just a few hours of sleep before its time to go to the ballpark.In an interview with ESPN last month, union chief Tony Clark said the new rules were fundamental to the health and performance of players and were negotiated against the backdrop of keeping guys on the field as often as possible.On June 9 of this past season, the Los Angeles Angels played a night game in New York that started at about 7 p.m. ET. They then played a night game at home the next day. Under the new rules, their getaway-day game in New York would not be allowed to start later than 4:37 p.m. ET.Another example would have affected the much-discussed Aug. 17-18 schedule of the Boston Red Sox, who played a Wednesday night game in Baltimore and then had a Thursday afternoon game in Detroit that started at 1:10 p.m.Under the new rules, the Orioles would not have been required to move up their 7 p.m. start time because the Red Sox did not face a flight of more than 2? hours. However, the Tigers would not have been allowed to start their game the next day earlier than 5 p.m.The agreement allows for certain special exceptions involving holidays and trips to Wrigley Field, where local laws provide less flexibility in scheduling later start times. However, even those exceptions are restricted to instances in which teams face shorter flights.Ronald Acuna Jr. Braves Jersey .

Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks meet Tuesday night, looking as much to reacquaint themselves with West Coast hockey as to get their early struggles straightened out.The Sharks play for the first time at SAP Center since opening night on Oct. 12 when San Jose beat Los Angeles 2-1. The Sharks have been on the road ever since, capping a 2/3 trip on Saturday with a 3-0 loss at Detroit.The Ducks, who opened the season with four straight losses during a five-game trip, beat Vancouver 4-2 on Sunday at Honda Center before climbing right back on a plane.San Jose and Anaheim have combined to play 10 of its first 12 games away. Tuesday marks the first of three in a row at home for the Sharks while the Ducks will play as hosts five of the next six after Tuesday.Both are taking the opportunity of home cooking to tweak how theyve gone about things thus far. For the Sharks, that means new forward-line combinations, and the Ducks are looking to spark a slow-starting power play.San Jose coach Peter DeBoer will have offseason acquisition Mikkel Boedkers added speed on the left wing alongside center Joe Thornton and captain Joe Pavelski. Former top-liner Tomas Hertl moves to center to play with wingers Patrick Marleau and Matt Nieto.In addition, right winger Joel Ward joins center Logan Couture and Joonas Donskoi, and Chris Tierney will center a fourth group including Melker Karlsson and Tommy Wingels.Its not a panic situation or anything, I think youre always looking for ways to get the most out of your group, DeBoer told CSN Bay Area. Our four-line game hasnt been where I want it to be.Defenseman Brent Burns is off to a fast start offensively. He has three goals and nine points to share the league scoring lead with Edmontons Connor McDavid before Mondays play. Pavelski has two goals and seven points and Couture and Thornton have five points apiece.There are nights where we handle the puck well and make some passes and keep it pretty simple. Weve had success on those nights, Pavelski told the San Jose Mercury News. You just have to understand the recipe. ... Theres really no shortcuts around it.In addition, San Joses power play contributeed a goal in each of its first three games, but is 0 of 8 in the last three outings.dddddddddddd Overall, the Sharks are 3 of 20 on the power play as are the Ducks. Both teams look to get their special teams going.When you look at the history of the group, I dont any doubt theyre going to have success, DeBoer told CSN Bay Area. It hasnt started the way we wanted, the puck hasnt gone in and were pressing a little bit now, but that will turn around.I think that mimics our five-on-fove play a little bit. Were creating some chances but not winning. Weve got to find a way to stick some pucks in the net.The Ducks put defenseman Shea Theodore, a recent call-up, on the power play to add a spark and the group responded with a 1-of-2 effort during a win over the Canucks. The power play is one area that Anaheim is missing hold-out restricted free agent Hampus Lindholm.We know Shea Theodore has that ability, offensive instincts and whatnot to run a power play, Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle told the Orange County Register. Right now, he gives us that option of not taxing Cam (Fowler) and Sami Vatanen. To play the full two minutes of a power play, thats tough. Plus to play a regular shift, plus theyre getting some penalty-killing time.At even strength, the Ducks rely as usual on veteran forwards Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, who are joined by Nick Richie on left wing. Getzlaf leads the team with eight points on the strength of seven assists.Perry, who is next, has three goals and five points. His next point will be career No. 670 and will make Perry third on the franchise list in points behind Teemu Selanne (988) and Getzlaf (749).Getzlaf, the captain, sees his team gaining momentum.Weve been building, Getzlaf told the teams website. It started in the second period against the Islanders (Oct. 16, a 3-2 shootout loss). Weve started to build something from there.Anaheim, which plays San Jose three times between Nov. 26-Dec. 27, won the last three meetings between the teams last year after losing its 2015-16 season opener to the Sharks.
