The San Jose Sharks were riding high on their comeback win over Pacific Division leaders, the Calgary Flames when they faced off against the Minnesota Wild. The Wild have been excellent this season, and while the Sharks have defied expectations in some games, night-to-night there isn’t always a consistent product on the ice.
The Sharks donned their Stealth jerseys — which may have been a sign that this would be a loss — but that wasn’t the only notable thing about the game. Brent Burns skated in his 624th consecutive game, which ties Patrick Marleau for the longest games-played streak in franchise history.
