The wait is over.
The San Jose Sharks are rested and raring to go as they get set to host the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals series. This will be the first appearance for team teal in the second round since 2013, and the third all-time meeting between these two franchises, with San Jose capturing both of those series in five games.
These two teams met three times during the regular season with Nashville winning two out of the three meetings and outscoring the Sharks by a 10-5 margin.
