The Minnesota Wild host the San Jose Sharks in a matchup the simulation favours decisively toward the home side. The game hinges on whether San Jose can keep pace; the Sharks will need their secondary scorers like Kiefer Sherwood (34%) to contribute beyond the team's star. For the travelling Sharks to pull the upset, they would need production from depth pieces and an unusual defensive performance from Minnesota.
