It’s been too long since the San Jose Sharks (18-11-5, 3rd Pacific) were really rolling. But fresh off a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks and winning six of their last seven games, the Sharks are in their best stretch of the season so far.
For the Minnesota Wild (17-13-2, 4th Central), after getting off to a slow start, they’ve found consistency in their game for most of the season. December has started out rough for Minnesota, though, and the lose of three key players have made things all the more questionable.
