Sharks get goals from 4 players, snap 6-game losing streak with 4-1 win over Wild

Sharks beat Wild to end 6-game skid

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Evgeni Nabokov stopped 18 shots and four San Jose players scored to help the Sharks snap a six-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night.

Joe Pavelski, Dany Heatley, Torrey Mitchell and Joe Thornton all had goals for the Sharks. San Jose won for the first time since beating Nashville on March 11 and snapped its longest skid since Nov. 5-30, 2005. It was also the Sharks’ first road win since beating Detroit on Feb. 11.

The Sharks were in first place in the West when they embarked on their six-game road trip back on March 14. Their recent struggles dropped them behind Phoenix in the Pacific Division race.

Guillaume Latendresse scored his team-leading 27th goal for the Wild.
