ST. PAUL, Minn. — Devan Dubnyk gave up two goals late in the second period during an otherwise stellar night in net for Minnesota, potential trouble for a team on a skid.
The Wild scored twice themselves in the same decisive stretch, sending the Sharks away with another loss.
Martin Hanzal and Charlie Coyle scored 15 seconds apart before the second intermission to help the Wild stop a five-game skid and pull out a 3-2 victory over San Jose on Tuesday night.
“This is what we needed against a really good hockey team on the other end,” said Dubnyk, who stopped 21 shots.
