For the Wild, Mats Zuccarello's late goal brought them within one, but it wasn't enough. Minnesota's struggles continued, marking their fifth loss in six outings. Marc-Andre Fleury had a notable achievement, surpassing Patrick Roy for second-most career minutes played by an NHL goaltender.

In a recent game, San Jose Sharks forward Klim Kostin attempted to defend his teammate Mikael Granlund after a hard check from Calgary Flames forward Martin Pospisil. Despite the hit being ruled clean, Kostin expressed disappointment when Pospisil refused to engage in a fight after targeting Granlund. Kostin emphasized the importance of standing up for teammates, referencing the rarity of players willing to drop the gloves in today's NHL.

Throughout the match, other Sharks, including Nico Sturm, showcased their commitment to team solidarity by defending fellow players. Kostin remarked that every NHL team is expected to protect its best players, asserting that the Sharks embody this warrior mentality. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky echoed this sentiment, highlighting the camaraderie within the team.

As the Sharks struggle with a record of 1-9-1 in their last 11 games, the refusal of Pospisil to fight may have been influenced by the game's circumstances, as the Flames were leading late in the third period. The Sharks, who have now lost seven consecutive games, plan to regroup and practice after a challenging stretch.

The Detroit Red Wings faced another setback against the Montreal Canadiens, suffering a 5-1 defeat, marking their second loss in as many days. Despite the team's struggles, former Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi showcased his determination in a high-scoring game against the Calgary Flames.

Bertuzzi scored two goals in the final period, trying to rally the Chicago Blackhawks, who ultimately lost 6-4. His aggressive play led to a series of penalties, indicating his frustration and desire to protect his teammates. This incident may prompt the Red Wings to adopt a more fiery approach in their upcoming game against the St. Louis Blues.
