Minnesota at San Jose

The Wild are in the midst of a rather long road trip for the red-hot squad. How have they been doing it? With defense and mirrors. They've only allowed 3 goals during this win streak while scoring 13. Most of that damage was done at home, as well. This team has flaws at No. 26 in goals scored, No. 25 on the power play and in the middle of the pack in penalty killing. The Wild is 5-16 in the last 21 meetings with San Jose and 0-4 in the last four meetings in San Jose. While Minnesota is hot, so is San Jose with the Sharks going 7-2 in their last nine overall. This offense is fourth in the NHL in goals scored with an outstanding power play (No. 7). The Sharks are 10-2 in their last 12 games playing on two days of rest and 23-10 in their last 33 home games. Home ice has meant a lot in this series as the Home team is 4-0 in the last four meetings and the favorite is 7-2 in the last nine meetings. Grab the home team and play on San Jose.
