Hoping to salvage a home stand, the Wild ran into an absolute buzz saw named the San Jose Sharks. With a 6-1 record in their last 7 games, the Sharks definitely had their game firing on all cylinders by blanking the Wild 4-0 in St. Paul. Logan Couture scored twice, Joe Pavelski got one, and something called Lukas Radil finished the night off as the Wild still have issues with having losses snowball.
The first period was the best period for the Wild all game. Staal hit the post after the puck glanced off Jones early.
