NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Sharks may be ice cold, but their frustrations bubbled over late in their sixth consecutive defeat.
Colton Sissons and James Neal each scored twice to lead the Predators over the staggering Sharks 7-2 on Saturday night.
What had been a chippy game all night got rough at the end. With the Predators up 5-2, Nashville’s Calle Jarnkrok was assessed a minor penalty for boarding San Jose’s Micheal Haley at 12:56 of the third. Haley skated to Jarnkrok, grabbed his jersey and punched him in the face.
Jarnkrok left bleeding and did not return.
