ST. PAUL, Minn. — Sharks defenseman Brent Burns scored with 1:48 remaining to snap a tie and San Jose added an empty-netter for a 5-3 win over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.
Ryan Donato, Evander Kane and Noah Gregor also scored for the Sharks before Matt Nieto’s clincher with 29 seconds remaining. Martin Jones finished with 26 stops.
After his initial shot was blocked, Burns corralled a loose puck in the right circle, cut to the middle between three Wild defenders, shifted from his forehand to backhand and beat goalie Kaapo Kahkonen on the far side for the winner.
