When you sit atop the standings in the NHL, no game is an easy one as each opponent knows they need to put their best effort in to come out victorious.
Last nights game against the San Jose Sharks was a perfect reminder of that.
When the game began, the Predators seemed to carry over the momentum they gained in their shutout victory over the Edmonton Oilers earlier this week.
After one period, the game was 1-1, but, Nashville was the more consistent threat of the two, firing more pucks towards the net and ultimately setting the pace of the game.
