One of the latest games in the NHL schedule for next Thursday corresponds to the clash between San Jose Sharks and Minnesota Wild, teams that are currently having an opposite level in the Western Conference. Even though, it must be noted that San Jose Sharks have had such a great recovery during their latest games, so this one could turn into a very complicated challenge for Minnesota Wild.
Looking deeper into both teams’ performance, San Jose Sharks is still negatively remarking as the worst defensive in the Western Conference with 51 received goals, nonetheless they haven’t received more than 4 goals during their last 5 played games. Also, players like Jake Walman and Fabian Zetterlund took the offensive leadership of this team, but those who have spent more time on the ice like Mikael Granlund and William Eklund need to become more participative.
On Minnesota Wild’s case, this team is in the top 4 of the Western Conference, however they lost their streak of 3 victories in a row after their most recent loss against Los Angeles Kings (1-5). Despite that disappointing loss, the Wild are still in the second spot of the Central Division, holding a 7-2-1 record, but clearly depending on Kirill Kaprizov during their most recent 5 games.
