The Preds were tired after the triple overtime Game 4, sure, but let's also not forget that the Preds played this same Sharks team in said Game 4. Both teams were there, both teams hopped on a plane and traveled the exact same distance and both teams showed up at the SAP Center last night.
One team dominated the other however and that was San Jose as they mauled the Preds on their way to a 5-1 win and 3-2 series lead as the series turns to Nashville on Monday.
During 5-on-5 play the Sharks out shot the Preds by a count of 26-18 while also edging them in the scoring chances category by the count of 26-21.
