**November 7, 2026 —** Kirill Kaprizov was involved in every Minnesota goal as the
Wild beat the San Jose Sharks 4–1 on Friday, November 6, in Saint Paul. The result
was Minnesota’s 1,000th regular-season victory, reached in its 1,995th game, according
to the NHL.

## How the game turned

Kaprizov opened the scoring on a two-man advantage at 7:55 of the first period, 
scoring his league-leading 16th goal. San Jose’s Macklin Celebrini redirected a 
shot to tie the game in the second period, but the equalizer lasted just over two
minutes. Kaprizov then supplied the pass for Maxim Shabanov’s power-play go-ahead
goal.

Quinn Hughes stretched the lead to 3–1 early in the third, and Zach Bogosian added
the fourth. Kaprizov finished with one goal and three assists; Hughes had a goal
and two assists. Goaltender Jesper Wallstedt made 23 saves.

## Why the result matters

Minnesota’s attack is doing more than leaning on one scorer: Kaprizov’s passing 
helped create the decisive second goal and later contributions. Two power-play goals
also made special teams central to the result. For San Jose, Celebrini’s equalizer
briefly restored parity, but the Sharks could not sustain it and lost a fourth consecutive
game.

The Wild improved to 12–3–3; the Sharks fell to 7–10–1. These are final results,
not live scores.
