NASHVILLE — The Sharks knew it already, but the last few days provided a harsh reminder that there will be no easy games from here until the end of the season.
The Sharks have another tough opponent Saturday, as they look to end a five-game losing streak and salvage something at the end of their road trip when they face the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena at 5 p.m. (PDT).
Sandwiched around a loss to the playoff-bound Minnesota Wild were two Sharks losses to the Dallas Stars, who remain only mathematically alive for a postseason spot and are in 11th place in the Western Conference.
