No Mike Ribeiro, big changes to the lines, and a win to get back in the series.
The big storyline prior to puck drop was the scratch of Mike Ribeiro who has not been good this post season for the Predators. In stepped Pontus Aberg who wasn't the sole reason the Predators came out on top in Game 3 but perhaps the addition of him into the lineup which jumbled up the lines made the biggest difference in the decision.
The Sharks out Corsi'd the Preds 38-36 and out shot the Preds during 5-on-5 play by a count of 19-13 but that was all she wrote for San Jose.
