2011 NHL Matchup:Minnesota Wild vs. San Jose SharksDecember 06, 2011 by Marc Jerbs

On Tuesday night, the San Jose Sharks faces the Minnesota Wild at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, CA. Face off is set at 10:30PM ET.

The Minnesota Wild has the longest active winning streak in the Western Conference. During this winning streak, the Wild built a 6-point lead in the Northwest Division over the Canucks. This would be 2nd match between the Wild and Sharks.

Last Nov. 10, Minnesota won over San Jose, 3-1. Patrick Marleau's two goals in the second period provided enough cushion to defeat the Sharks. The Wild have a chance to catch the Penguins for the overall NHL best record.

The San Jose Sharks smells revenge in their second matchup against the Minnesota Wild. San Jose is currently in 4th place in a tough Pacific Division of the Western Conference. However, they are only two points away against the division leading Dallas Stars.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed the San Jose Sharks as a 1.5-point favorite to beat the Minnesota Wild and stopped their four-game winning streak.
