Short-Handed Wild Defeat Sharks 3-1 Behind Marc-Andre Fleury's 36 Saves

Minnesota rebounds from a tough loss to Colorado as Fleury shines and key players remain sidelined.

Marc-Andre Fleury delivered a stellar performance with 36 saves, helping the Wild secure a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks.
Minnesota played without several key players, including leading scorer Kirill Kaprizov and defensemen Jonas Brodin, Brock Faber, and Jared Spurgeon, due to injuries.
Mats Zuccarello contributed a goal and two assists, including an empty-netter to seal the win, while Marco Rossi and Matt Boldy each scored their 16th goals of the season.
The Sharks, who have now lost three straight games, managed to cut the deficit to 2-1 with William Eklund's goal in the second period but struggled to capitalize on scoring chances.
Fleury, at age 40, improved to 20-5-4 in his career against San Jose, likely marking his final game at SAP Center with another standout performance.
