Predators Bring a Winning Run West

Nashville has allowed 2.60 goals per game while scoring 3.00, a balance that gives it several ways to win. Its 25.8% power play meets a San Jose penalty kill at 76.0%, making discipline especially important. Steven Stamkos leads the Predators with 11 goals, while Roman Josi has 23 points.

The Predators have won their last five games, including four on the road. They beat Colorado 3-2, then held St. Louis to one goal before shutting out Los Angeles 3-0. Wins over Anaheim and Vegas kept that run moving, with Nashville scoring at least three goals in every game. The 3-2 results against Colorado and Vegas also show that this stretch has required more than comfortable leads: Nashville has closed out tight contests while keeping each opponent to two goals or fewer.

Sharks Need a Cleaner Defensive Night

San Jose scores 2.43 goals per game and allows 3.43, leaving less room for defensive mistakes against a Nashville team with a productive power play. The Sharks have 15 power-play goals, but their 19.0% conversion rate trails Nashville's. Macklin Celebrini leads San Jose with eight goals and 23 points.

The Sharks have lost four of their last five games, with a 3-2 home win over the Islanders interrupting that slide. They followed it with a 3-2 home loss to Pittsburgh. Earlier road defeats to Los Angeles, Minnesota and Dallas exposed a wider range of problems: San Jose allowed seven goals against the Kings and four apiece against the Wild and Stars. The Islanders win shows the Sharks can get through a close game, but the Pittsburgh result underscores how narrow that margin has been.
