On the Sharks podcast with Len Shapiro:
#1 Len, Monday night’s game in San Jose with the Sharks and Minnesota Wild a four game win streak for the Wild. Sharks coach Bob Boughner can only make so many plays and diagrams but it’s up to the defense and goaltender Martin Jones to stops shot from becoming goals.
#2 Len, describe those first two periods the Wild were able to control the puck and the offense. Basically had their way on offense with two goals in the first period and adding three more in the third period the Sharks had to get a sense after the second period this game had got away from them.
#3 The Wild’s Marcus Foligno notched a Gordie Howe hattrick, Mats Zuccarello had three points in just his fourth game this season.
#4 The Wilds’ rookie Kaapo Kahkonen made 31 saves for the Minnesota (9-6-0) win.
#5 The Sharks have won five out of their last nine games and host the Vegas Golden Knights (6-3-3) Thursday night. The Knights had three game postponements prior to losing two of their last three games. How do you see this match up on Thursday night.
