Nick Blankenburg scored the eventual game-winner as the Nashville Predators erased a four-goal deficit to defeat the visiting San Jose Sharks 7-5 on Tuesday night.
Nashville Predators Erase 4-Goal Deficit
Despite an encouraging 40 minutes against the Boston Bruins, the San Jose Sharks couldn't finish the job on Monday. View the original article to see embedded media. Tonight's matchup against the Nashville Predators could boost both teams' confidence.
At one point on Tuesday night, the Predators trailed by four goals. Until they didn’t.
It was the first four-goal comeback for the Predators in their history. Jonathan Marchessault had a goal and three assists, and Filip Forsberg extended his goal streak to six games and had two assists for the Predators (17-22-7), who have won four straight. Tommy Novak also had a goal and two assists.
Nashville owns a 13-game point streak (12-0-1) against San Jose that dates back to March 16, 2019, in which the team has not allowed more than two goals against in a single contest. The Predators have won each of their last 10 games vs. the Sharks.
The Nashville Predators will look to extend their winning streak to four games when they host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday in the first of a home-and-home between the two clubs.
If only it was just one thing or even a handful things to fix. When an entire team collapses, like the San Jose Sharks did blowing a 5-1 lead to the Nashville Predators, what do you do? Would calling a timeout have stopped the bleeding?
