Gameday Thread: Sharks vs. Predators

The Nashville Predators handed the Sharks their first loss of the season a week and a half ago and San Jose hasn't landed in the win column since. They'll look to do just that this evening in Music City as they take on a Predators club that came alive in the week prior to their 3-0 spanking in Chicago on Sunday. Both teams are coming off rough losses (of course, Nashville's was to the best team in the West and the Sharks' was to the worst) so expect the snoozefest these teams always seem to produce against each other a hard-fought battle.
