Kirill Kaprizov scored his NHL-leading 16th goal and assisted on Minnesota’s other three goals as the Wild defeated the San Jose Sharks 4–1 on Friday, November 6, in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Quinn Hughes contributed a goal and two assists. Maxim Shabanov and Zach Bogosian also scored for Minnesota, while Jesper Wallstedt made 23 saves.

Kaprizov opened the scoring on a first-period power play with Minnesota enjoying a two-man advantage. His shot from the right circle put the Wild ahead before San Jose drew level in the second period.

Macklin Celebrini supplied the Sharks’ goal, deflecting Dmitry Orlov’s shot for his seventh of the season.

Shabanov restored Minnesota’s lead with 5:45 remaining in the second period. He redirected Kaprizov’s cross-ice pass at the far post during another Wild power play.

Hughes increased the margin early in the third period, and Bogosian added his first goal of the season later in the period.

Yaroslav Askarov stopped 25 shots for San Jose.

Minnesota improved to 12–3–3 and has earned points in seven consecutive games, going 6–0–1 over that stretch. The Sharks fell to 7–10–1.
