Wild 3, Sharks 5: Wild suffer late collapse in loss to Sharks

It was almost a repeating story. The Minnesota Wild were up quick with an early goal, deflated to a 3-1 deficit, to only come back and tie the game before the end of regulation. We all witnessed it through this early season already and felt the usual rollercoaster of such a game against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night.

But in the end, it was completely undone by Brent Burns, single-handedly, in some sort of revenge plot that he has been set on course for ever since leaving Minnesota, scoring a goal that should be considered an early-season Goal of the Year candidate.
