Predators beat Sharks 4-1
Weber scored the go-ahead goal and had an assist and the Andre Brown JerseyPredators beat the San Jose Sharks 4-1 on Tuesday night to cut the series deficit to 2-1. James Neal and Filip Forsberg each scored on the power play, Colin Wilson had a goal, and Pekka Rinne made 26 saves for Nashville. The Predators killed four penalties after the Sharks went 3 of 5http://www.nfltexansofficialonlines.com/ben-jones-jersey_c-525.html on the man-advantage in the first two games. Nashville also went 2 of 5 on the power play after being 2 of 31 this postseason. ''It's something we definitely need to be better at,'' Neal said of both the penalty kill and power play. ''I thought we had some decent looks, but ultimately it changes games when you score on the PP and you get big kills. We did that tonight and got a big win.'' Patrick Marleau scored for the Sharks, who lost for the first time away http://www.nfltexansofficialonlines.com/benardrick-mckinney-jersey_c-516.htmlfrom San Jose this postseason and first since a loss at Arizona on March 17. The Predators not only lost the first two in San Jose, but were facing the NHL's best regular-season road team. The Sharks also went 4-2 in Nashville in winning first-round series in both 2006 and 2007. Nashville has not lost a game in regulation on home ice to San Jose since Feb. 25, 2012, with the lone defeat in seven games a shootout loss April 2. ''You're not going to win every game,'' Sharks coach Peter Shane Doan JerseyDeBoer said. ''It's the Stanley Cup playoffs. This might take seven games. It's that time of year. They're a good team. You have to give them credit. I thought we came out and played a pretty good game. They won the special teams battle tonight. We won it the other night. That's how this works this time of year.'' Predators coach Peter Laviolette switched up his lineup with Mike Ribeiro a healthy scratch in place of Pontus Aberg making his NHL debut, saying he wanted some more speed. Ribeiro had only one assist in nine postseason games and a minus-3 rating. http://www.officialcoyotesproshop.com/Womens_Youth_Antoine_Vermette_JerseyLaviolette also put Craig Smith, Forsberg and Ryan Johansen together on the top line and moved Neal with Mike Fisher and Wilson. ''It's a big piece to bite off for him, and I thought he did a really good job,'' Laviolette said of Aberg. For a little extra mojo, the Predators brought Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota onto the ice before the puck dropped to rally the fans. The Sharks scored first. Marleau got the puck and skated past the Nashville defense for an easy wrister into an open net, catching Rinne too far from the crease at 13:13. But San Jose failed to convert on two man-advantages in the period.
