RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes dont mind the hard work and extra time, but they would like to start making it easier on themselves.Another chance to do that comes Sunday when the struggling New Jersey Devils visit PNC Arena.At some point when we get playing at home, we have to take advantage of that, Carolina coach Bill Peters said.Both teams are coming off Saturday night road games with different results.It turned out to be a late, yet successful night for the Hurricanes, who won in a shootout at Nashville.The Devils are trying to salvage something from a three-game Southern road swing. They lost 4-3 in overtime at Florida before Saturday nights 4-1 setback at Tampa Bay.The teams might benefit from the extra hour because of the time change.New Jersey has yet to post a victory on the road.Its always better and easier when you start (playing better) from the beginning, said Devils forward Pavel Zacha, pointing out one of the themes of slow starts to games involving New Jersey.Devils coach John Hynes said some rallies have been encouraging, but its not the best route to take and its not something that can be relied on.It builds some confidence, it can do that, Hynes said.The Hurricanes are looking for ways to produce better beginnings of games as well, particularly after some miserable shifts in Nashville.We knew that was as bad as it was going to get, defenseman Ron Hainsey said of a stretch in the first period.That has led to issues with low scoring and even though it worked out against Nashville that wont always be the case.If you keep scoring one goal (its not enough), Hainsey said. No matter how you do it, youre going to have to score two or three to win consistently.Peters said he intended to use both goalies this weekend, so that would mean going with Eddie Lack against the Devils.But Peters also likes to stick with a hot goalie and Cam Ward was strong Saturday night.He gave us a chance to get our feet underneath us, especially early, he said. Obviously, 3-for-3 in the shootout, which is huge.Sundays game marks the first time this season Carolina plays on back-to-back days.You have to show up every day no matter what happened the previous day and try to get better, Hurricanes center Jordan Staal said. Its a matter of fine tuning things and continuing to get better.If Devils defenseman Andy Greene plays Sunday, he will set the club record with his 322nd consecutive game.For Carolina forward Lee Stempniak, its the pursuit of a new milestone because he played in his 800th career NHL game Saturday night.This will be only the third home game for the Hurricanes, who opened with a two-week road schedule because of the North Carolina State Fair that takes place near the arena.This wraps up a three-game road trip for the Devils.

NAIROBI, Kenya -- Despite having its most successful Olympics ever at the Rio de Janeiro Games, the Kenya teams preparation and management was chaotic, a government-ordered report revealed Tuesday.Among the many revelations in the 90-page report seen by The Associated Press: There was a brawl among members of the womens rugby team over how their prize money should be split, the race walking team wasnt given any track shoes, many of the athletes received uniforms that didnt fit, while some didnt get any and had to provide their own. And the medical officials tending to Kenyas top sports stars in case of serious injury had to travel between the spread-out Rio venues on shuttle buses meant for journalists and which only departed every 30 minutes -- and sometimes took over an hour to get to an arena.Also, members of the team began their final preparations for the worlds biggest sports event at a High Performance Training Center back home owned by the head of the Olympic committee, and which had a gym only big enough for three people to be in it at any one time, the report said.But along with the incompetence and mismanagement on a grand scale -- stunning for a country that outperformed the United States and Jamaica at last years athletics world championships -- the report committee raised serious concerns over the possible misappropriation by senior sports officials of millions of dollars in money and athlete apparel provided by team sponsor Nike.Those race walkers may not have received their Nike shoes because officials stole them.The investigation was ordered at the end of August by the sports minister after allegations of corruption being rife at the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK), which was disbanded after Rio amid allegations that some of the $5.7 million Olympic budget was stolen.Since the committee began its investigation, Kenyas Olympic team leader has been charged with stealing $256,000 and three other senior Olympic committee officials -- two vice presidents and the secretary general -- face charges of stealing boxes of Nike apparel that were meant for athletes. One VP was arrested hiding under his bed in an apartment filled with brand-new Nike equipment.Because those cases are in court, the report couldnt refer to them. But there was plenty more investigators could reveal.They demanded that NOCK account for how it has used the $714,000 its been given every year by Nike since 2013, and where the $520,000 worth of apparel it received every year has gone. There dont appear to be records.Also, some of Kenyas top athletes, includiing track and field world champions Asbel Kiprop, Julius Yego and Ezekiel Kemboi, may have been cheated out of tens of thousands of dollars in Nike bonuses due to them for winning medals at major competitions, bonuses they have not received from Kenyan officials, according to the report.ddddddddddddDespite the level of ineptitude, and allegedly worse, from those officials, Kenya somehow still won six golds and 13 medals in total in Rio. The track and field team was second on the table behind the U.S.The [investigating] committee would like to express concern over serious management inadequacies, poor planning and financial impropriety that affected what would have been an even greater performance, the report said. The committee would like to thank our sportsmen and women, their coaches and the honest officials for pulling off Kenyas best ever performance at the Olympics despite the glaring management inadequacies that they had to endure.All of Kenyas athletes, even its best, appeared to have been affected.Julius Yego, the javelin world champion who won silver in Rio, was one example.Yego was based at the so-called High Performance Training Center with the tiny gym in the buildup to the Olympics. He paid to join a nearby private gym that had better equipment. Yego was put in the high altitude town of Eldoret, where heavy rain at that time of year can wash away roads, and he was often unable to travel to the stadium to train. Even when he got to the stadium, Yego had to deal with the fact that the javelin runway was about 7 meters shorter than the standard length. When Yego got to the airport to travel to Rio, there was no plane ticket for him.Some other revelations in the report:* The mens rugby sevens team went on a three-week high-altitude training camp, but returned to the capital of Nairobi for a week and then traveled to Rio, which is at sea level, two weeks before their competition, nullifying any benefit from the high-altitude training.* Marathon runner Wesley Korir left a pre-Olympics training camp without permission to travel to Canada and run in a marathon as a pace-setter for his wife. The exertion led to him dropping out halfway through the Olympic marathon, the report said.* Following the womens rugby teams brawl in an airport on the way home from Rio, team officials lied and said the players were fighting over a man. Players later admitted it was over prize money promised them by the Kenyan government. ' ' '
