SAN JOSE – Zach Parise scored in the third period, the only score of the game in a manned net, sending the nose-diving Sharks to their sixth straight defeat at SAP Center on Saturday night, 2-0.
It took more than 44 minutes of game play, but the Wild finally broke the scoreless tie. Parise was left wide open just outside of the crease, received a pass from Mikael Granlund, and had plenty of time to shoot the puck and get it back to deposit his own rebound at 4:41. Brent Burns and Joonas Donskoi both vacated the front of the net, losing track of the Wild’s most dangerous scorer.
