The Winnipeg Jets will welcome the Minnesota Wild to Canada Life Centre for an NHL game on Wednesday. The Winnipeg Jets lost 2-3 in their last game over the Sharks.” Logan Couture scored at 1:21 of overtime, and the San Jose Sharks rallied for a 3-2 win against the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre on Monday. Couture, who won it on a breakaway, also had an assist when Tomas Hertl tied it with 11 seconds left in the third period.
“Just sticking with it; I really liked our 6-on-5,” San Jose coach David Quinn said. “The third period was better than the first two. That being said, we got fortunate with some lucky bounces there when it looked like they were going to score a goal, but we’ve had plenty of nights where it didn’t go our way. Tonight, we had it go our way.”
Erik Karlsson had two assists, and James Reimer made 36 saves for the Sharks (19-33-12), who ended a five-game skid (0-4-1). “It’s good to battle back and just play with that compete and that willingness to do whatever it takes,” Reimer said. “The boys, they left it all out there.”
The Minnesota Wild on the other hand lost 0-1 against the Flames in their last game. Jacob Markstrom made 40 saves in his first shutout of the season, and the Calgary Flames won 1-0 against the Minnesota Wild in a shootout at Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday. Markstrom made three more saves in the four-round shootout.
“I thought our guys did a great job of making sure that I saw most of the pucks,” Markstrom said. “A lot of sharp blocks. … It’s the second game of a back to back, and we need to string games together. Nice to get one of these.” Nazem Kadri and Tyler Toffoli scored in the shootout for Calgary (29-23-13), which won 5-4 against the Dallas Stars on Monday, when Markstrom made 29 saves.
The Flames moved within four points of the Winnipeg Jets for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. The Jets have one game in hand. “You know what, we’re fighting for points,” Calgary coach Darryl Sutter said. “We know that. There were one or two rough games at home and everybody threw us under the bus, so good on them.”
