The Minnesota Wild have been playing confidently in recent games, posting high scoring performances at home. They average over three goals per game at home, as evidenced by recent wins of five and three goals.
The San Jose Sharks are in the middle of the standings, but have shown impressive offensive performance in recent games. They have scored 13 goals in their last four meetings, yet their defense remains vulnerable.
Given their recent 11-goal game and the offensive potential of both teams, a high-scoring, high-scoring game is likely.
