Staal scores twice as Minnesota Wild win over the streaking San Jose Sharks

The San Jose Sharks came to town looking to extend their winning streak to 4 games against a tough opponent in the Minnesota Wild. The Wild were looking to bounce back after being shut out 1-0 in their last game against the Columbus Blue Jackets and avoid losing consecutive games for the first time since a stretch of 3 consecutive losses between November 26th and December 2nd. The Wild’s stingy defense would hold the Sharks at bay and lead the Wild to victory by a 3-1 margin, ending the Sharks streak and maintaining the Wild’s ability to not lose consecutive games even further.
