"The Sharks went into tonight on a 4-game losing streak, while the Predators were on a 4-game winning streak. It was imperative that they put their best foot forward in what was the biggest game of the season so far."
"The Predators struck early after Dickinson fanned on a breakout pass that led directly to a 2-on-1 goal. The Predators extended the lead after Chernyshov gets called for a trip in his first game back from injury."
"Will Smith was then able to get one back during a 5 on 3 Power Play, giving him his 20th goal of the season and bringing the score to 6-2."
"After tonight's loss, the Sharks are now 7 points out of a playoff spot behind the Nashville Predators. Losing 5 in a row while your competition does the opposite during the most crucial time of the season is unfortunate."

The Predators scored early, capitalizing on a Sharks mistake, and dominated the first period with four unanswered goals. Although the Sharks managed to win the last two periods, they could not overcome the deficit.
