Karlsson has huge night as Sharks make Wild pay after dangerous hit

SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Sharks scored twice in just over five minutes after Mason Shaw was given a game misconduct for kneeing Evgeny Svechnikov, and went on to a 5-2 win over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday at SAP Center.

Erik Karlsson had one goal and three assists for his third four-point game of the season and goalie James Reimer had 23 saves as the Sharks ended a three-game losing streak in their last game before the Christmas break.

Karlsson assisted on goals by Timo Meier and Oskar Lindblom after the Shaw penalty at the 12:14 mark of the second period. Meier’s goal, his 18th of the season, came 33 seconds later and Lindblom scored his second at the 17:19 mark after a nifty seam pass from Karlsson.
