NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The two goal they lead in the first period disappeared. So did their one goal lead in the third.
Now the Sharks face the prospect of elimination for the first time in the playoffs. Viktor Arvidsson collected a loose puck that Melker Karlsson was unable to handle, skated to the side of Marc-Edouard Vlasic and beat Sharks goalie Martin Jones with a backhand shot just 2:03 into overtime to give the Predators a 4-3 win in Game 6 on Monday. Arvidsson's first goal of the playoffs tied the series at three wins apiece with a do-or-die Game 7 on Thursday at SAP Center.
