Make it 5-2 Wild. Kaprizov scored 2 in 47 seconds. A close game after the Ferraro goal will likely turn into another Sharks loss -- their 30th in 41 home games this season. But, for the Sharks, it looks like that 25.5 percent is all but wrapped up
Kaprizov has 8 points, 5-3-8, against #SJSharks in just three games. This one's not over yet either
Make it 5-2 Wild. Kaprizov scored 2 in 44 seconds. A close game after the Ferraro goal will likely turn into another Sharks loss -- their 30th in 41 home games this season. But, for the Sharks, it looks like 25.5 percent is all but wrapped up https://t.co/YwyiWkTM8e
Mario Ferraro from William Eklund; Sharks cut the Wild's lead to 3-2 with 4:08 left in the second period. Eklund now has 14 pts in his last 12 games.
3-2 Wild. The always charismatic Mario Ferraro with a blast off a 3-on-2, 4-on-3ish rush. 4:08 left in the longest second period in NHL history
Back to being a one-goal game. Mario Ferraro with a one-timer that eludes Wallstedt. 3-2
