Late change in Wild lineup with Zach Parise out due to critical illness of father JP Parise.

Sharks/Stalock gave up two in the first (including one on a bad bounce on what should have been an icing), but battled back to take the lead by the middle of the third, only to have the Wild tie it up and send it to OT. Vlasic was the OT hero again, with a late GWG, giving the Sharks two more points (and allowing them to keep climbing the standings).

No morning skate for the Sharks with the game yesterday. With the back-to-back games, and Niemi playing yesterday, Stalock is probably starting.

Wild is coming off Saturday 7-1 loss to the Stars.  They are out of the playoffs.  Could be a really hard-played game.

Kemper starting in goal for Wild. Prosser out sick.

Stalock is starting.  Hertl plans to wear cage.  Mueller and Hamilton with team.

Sharks had an optional skate Wednesday, with a number of injured not participating. It appears that Nieto (eligible to return 12/13) and Brown have been put on IR, with Tennyson (“in case” Vlasic not ready to go) and Tierney have been recalled.

Wild had a crazy game Tuesday, with Ballard taking bad hit (released from hospital Wednesday after concussion and facial fractures) causing team to rally and beat Islanders.  But Scandella made a nasty hit to the head and will be out two games (including this one).  That’s two D fewer, so Minnesota may be recalling someone from AHL to fill in on the blue line.

Stalock apparent starter.  Tierney and Tennyson in the lineup.  Vlasic out.

Sharks had a 3-1 lead, but the Wild came back to tie it 3-3.  And the Sharks lost in the shootout.

Goodrow made his NHL debut. Mueller scored his first goal.  Thornton’s goal tied him with Damphousse on all-time points list.
