Dubnyk ties franchise record for wins in a season as Wild snap skid

The Minnesota Wild's funk is over. The Sharks' continues.

Minny snapped its five-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over San Jose, and it was a significant victory for Devan Dubnyk, who tied a franchise record for wins in a season with his 37th.

"I've been waiting for a while," Dubnyk said, according to the Star Tribune's Michael Russo. "It felt like a long month."

Dubnyk hadn't tasted victory since March 10, as the Wild allowed three or more goals in each of their five losses during their struggles. In other words, Minnesota wasn't playing Wild hockey.

"We can stop talking about the other stuff now," he added. "This is what we're about."

Five of the game's four goals Tuesday were scored in a wacky two-minute sequence in the second period:

Dubnyk finished the game with 21 saves.

The Sharks, meanwhile, are struggling to wrap up the Pacific Division. San Jose's lost four in a row, and the offense has dried up, with only eight goals scored in those four losses.

The Flames are five points back of San Jose, while Edmonton and Anaheim are only four back, and the latter two have a game in hand.
