After a 1-3-1 road trip, the Wild lost back-to-back games this weekend at Grand Casino Arena to begin a six-game homestand. They fell 6-2 against the Utah Mammoth on Saturday. Faber and Kirill Kaprizov had three-assist games on Sunday, but it wasn't enough, as Wallstedt was beaten for six goals on 25 Sharks shots on net.

Michael Misa, the San Jose Sharks’ top forward prospect, scored his first NHL goal on Sunday against the Minnesota Wild.

Michael Misa, the San Jose Sharks’ top forward prospect, scored his first NHL goal on Sunday against the Minnesota Wild.

What’s been encouraging for the Sharks is seeing Will Smith and William Eklund raise their games as well. Smith’s four-point night against the New York Rangers, capped by his goal in overtime, matched a career-high, and Eklund has four points in his last two games. He had eight shots in his first four games and 14 shots in his previous four.

Forward Marcus Foligno is sidelined with an upper-body injury, undergoing X-rays. His absence impacts the Wild's lineup for tonight's game against the Sharks.
