San Jose comes off a 2-1 win over St. Louis on Wednesday as Tomas Hertl had the decisive shootout goal, and Martin Jones had 23 saves for the Sharks, who evened their record at 2-2. Minnesota defeated Anaheim 3-2 when Joel Eriksson Ek scored the winning goal late in the third period. San Jose has won five of the last six meetings, and the Wild has lost four of its last five playing on one day of rest. Also, Minnesota is just 2-6 its last eight home games. Jones got pulled from his previous game and got back on track against the Blues, and the Sharks probably had their best defensive performance of the season. Jones is expected to get the start again tonight as the Sharks want to keep him sharp. Play the Sharks on the puckline.
