After an extremely typical modern Minnesota Wild hockey game against the St. Louis Blues — starting with disappointment, three-goal deficits that were eventually erased completely by the sheer will of Kirill Kaprizov, to only lose in the first minute of overtime — we are set to witness a potentially even more typical game against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday.
The Sharks don’t score any goals (ranked 27th in goals per hour) and they allow a good amount (21st in goals against per hour); so we are either in for a treat of a warm-up game to cool down Minnesota’s treacherous week, or just some weird weekend game where we want to forget the last 24 hours of hockey we experienced.
