Minnesota at San Jose

The San Jose Sharks have long enjoyed a huge home ice advantage at The Shark Tank, but this year things haven't been nearly as automatic as they are 6-4-2 through 12 games at the Tank. Minnesota has played well all season and have been 8-4 over their last 12 games, and have been executing on the road where they own a 4-1 record in their last five, allowing just 2 goals per game over the stretch. The Wild comes into this one having gone 5-0 in their last five vs. a team that allowed 2 goals or less in their previous game, as they have been able to solve teams off a good defensive effort. The Sharks struggle against sizzling offenses, entering this game at a woeful 1-6 in their last seven vs. a team that scored 5 goals or more in their last outing. Back the road team Minnesota for the upset.
