This is a 10* on SAN JOSE

Carolina is off to a red-hot 6-1 start, their only loss coming at home to Columbus on Saturday. But they're underdogs on the money line Wednesday, playing in the second night of a back to back. The Hurricanes are facing a San Jose team that's off two straight wins following an 0-4 start. The Sharks struggled to find the back of the net in those four losses, two of which were against Vegas. But in one game, a 5-4 win over Chicago, they matched their number of goals scored from the previous four. Then came a 3-1 win over the Flames Sunday here at home. Carolina won 2-0 against Los Angeles Tuesday night. But they were outshot 31-23. This is the best start in franchise history. However, do note that the Canes only loss did come in the second night of a back to back. The turnaround in San Jose coincides with the return of Patrick Marleau to the lineup. The Sharks haven't lost since their all-time leader in minutes played, goals and assists made his season debut. Carolina is due a "hiccup," plain and simple. Play on SAN JOSE
