Although the San Jose Sharks lacked in shots, they made up for it on the scoreboard where it counts, scoring three goals and beating a resilient Nashville team, 3-2 on Sunday night to hold serve on home ice.
This was a game Sharks fans should feel somewhat fortunate to have won, as the Predators outshot the Sharks 39-25 who were also completely outmuscled, trailing in hits, 46-26. That doesn’t mean team teal didn’t deserve the victory, though, as the Sharks capitalized on their power-play chances, were great on the penalty kill, and laid it all on the line blocking 25 shots.
