In a remarkable performance, Marc-Andre Fleury made 36 saves, leading the Minnesota Wild to a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks despite being short-handed. This win marked the Wild's fifth victory in their last six games, even without their star player Kirill Kaprizov. Marco Rossi and Matt Boldy each netted their 16th goals of the season, positioning the Wild with a comfortable 2-0 lead in the second period.

Mats Zuccarello played a crucial role, assisting on both Rossi and Boldy's goals, and later sealing the game with an empty-netter. The Sharks managed to get on the scoreboard with William Eklund's goal late in the second period, but they were unable to overcome the deficit. The Wild's defense was put to the test, facing 37 shots, but Fleury's experience shone through as he earned his third consecutive win.
