📊 Records: Wild are 3-5-1; Sharks are 1-5-2. 

🔁 Head-to-Head Edge: Minnesota has won the last 7 meetings vs. San Jose and swept them last season (3-0-0). 

🎯 Special Teams Spotlight: The Wild’s power play is converting at ~30.6% while the Sharks’ penalty kill is struggling (~67.9%). 

🔍 Defensive Concerns: San Jose is giving up ~4.63 goals per game; Minnesota must clean up gap control and support their goalie. 

💡 Momentum Opportunity: After recent losses, this is a prime chance for the Wild to get back on track at home against a team they’ve had success versus.

🧠 Player Watch: Keep an eye on the Kaprizov-Boldy duo and how they exploit the Sharks’ weakened back end.
