Series Preview: Sharks Special Teams

Anaheim lived up to the hype of having the best power play and penalty kill units in the NHL. While Nashville's did a fantastic job shutting the Ducks power play down for the majority of its first-round series, they could only convert once on 26 attempts through seven games.

That's what a stingy penalty kill will do against you.

Fortunately for the Predators, San Jose isn't Anaheim when it comes to snuffing out man-advantages. In fact, if they can draw penalties at the rate they did against the Ducks, it could help secure a trip to the Western Conference Finals for Nashville.
