SAN JOSE -- The Sharks were playing their first game in seven days.
The Nashville Predators were playing their eighth game in 15 days.Hmmmm. Which team did you expect might have fresher legs in the third period?"I think any time you're off for a week, it takes a while to get going," said Shark defenseman Paul Martin, speaking of his own team's long layoff. "But I think toward the end of the second period, we started with the quick-up-and-get-it-in, started to get our own legs going. And it carried over."Over and out. The Sharks were trailing, 1-0, after two periods.
