The Nashville Predators continued their playoff push as they returned home tonight, and they did it in style.
The Preds did not get out to the best of starts, letting a Sharks team that has struggled with a lot of things this season charge into their zone and set up shop. Fortunately for them, Klim Kostin cross-checked Marc Del Gaizo–in tonight as the injuries to the d-corps continue–and the Preds got a power play to break up the Sharks’ onslaught.
Although the Preds met with no success on the power play itself, they kept Magnus Chrona busy and continued to press after Kostin was released from the box.
