San Jose looks to snap a three-game losing streak as it heads to Minnesota to battle the Wild for the final time during the regular season. The Sharks are 0-2 against the Wild this year and have been outscored 8-5 in those contests. Puck drop is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. as San Jose gets set for the second half of a road back to back. Thanks for scheduling that, NHL!
Meanwhile the Wild haven’t been playing so hot lately, either. Minnesota has lost five-straight while all but ceding the Central to Chicago. Devan Dubnyk has fallen right back to Earth (gee, who saw that coming) and Bruce Boudreau’s club will come into tonight’s game starving for a victory.
