San Jose at Minnesota

When most think of San Jose, they think of how tough they are at home at the Shark Tank. What most don't realize is what this team has accomplished on the road. Looking back at the last four seasons, the Sharks are 24-14, 21-13, 27-10 and 26-14 on the road. They are at it again, posting a 3-1 mark to start the 2010 season. That makes them 101-52 in their last 153 road decisions by pure won-lost numbers. The Wild were handed a perfect opportunity to start strong with their eight home games in their first 11 with one more to come, but they have failed to take advantage at just 3-3-1. They have really struggled against the Pacific teams at just 9-19 in their last 28, and the Sharks are definitely in their heads as they are just 3-14 in their last 17 vs. San Jose, dropping seven of the last eight to them at home. San Jose wins again in Minnesota.
