In hockey, finding a way to win when things aren’t going well is one of the greatest assets a team can have. Tonight, we saw first hand how helpful that attribute can be, as the Sharks tried to find their game against a hot team, an elite team.
After Timo Meier opened scoring on the power play in the first, the Predators’ Viktor Arvidsson responded. The Predators then took a 2-1 lead right out of the gate in the second, but they ceased control of play for long stretches. The Sharks found a way to respond later in the period after yet another great pass by Logan Couture and highlight reel goal by Tomas Hertl made it 2-2.
