Notes: Coaches have relavant history headed into Sharks-Preds

SAN JOSE – Finally, the Sharks get to play another hockey game.

Exactly one week after knocking off the Kings, San Jose will host Nashville on Friday night to kick off the second round. The Predators will have had just a one day break after finishing off the Ducks in a seventh game on Wednesday at Honda Center. They flew to San Jose from southern California on Thursday morning.

Sharks coach Pete DeBoer has already talked about how he believes that battle-ready mentality should give Nashville an early edge. Preds forward Ryan Johansen and coach Peter Laviolette were much more ambivalent.
