Reimer’s shutout gives San Jose road-win record

The Sharks got to celebrate a franchise record for road wins following a 3-0 victory at Minnesota on Tuesday night.

James Reimer made 29 saves for his third shutout in eight games for San Jose, and the Sharks set a franchise record with their 28th road win of the season.

Patrick Marleau scored twice and Logan Couture added his fifth goal in the past four games for San Jose, which leads the NHL in road wins this season and set a franchise record of 59 road points with seven wins in the past eight road games.

Couture scored his 15th goal of the season less than five minutes into the game after grabbing a loose puck out of the air, dropping it to his stick right in front of the goal and knocking it past Minnesota goaltender Devan Dubnyk.

Minnesota lost its fourth straight game and second straight with a chance to clinch a playoff berth, but ended up with a postseason spot when Colorado lost to Nashville later.
