They said it

"They get shots through as good as anybody. Burns not only gets them through, but they're heavy, and he likes to shoot everything. Karlsson kind of brings that with that little special playmaking ability. That's a big weapon for them." -- Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk on facing Sharks defensemen Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson
"Capitalizing on opportunities. I think that's the big thing. As a line we've been creating some opportunities through speed and have been able to score some goals." -- Sharks center Logan Couture on his nine-game point streak
