Nashville owns a 13-game point streak (12-0-1) against San Jose that dates back to March 16, 2019, in which the team has not allowed more than two goals against in a single contest. The Predators have won each of their last 10 games vs. the Sharks.

The Sharks led 5-1 after Mikael Granlund scored a power-play goal at the 4:28 mark of the second period. But the Sharks sat back, lost their edge, stopped forechecking, and watched momentum completely swing the other way as the Predators scored six unanswered goals.

The Nashville Predators beat the Minnesota Wild 6-2 on Saturday night in a game that featured three fights in the first 6:24.

The Predators are likely to start Juuse Saros, who is looking for his 12th win of the season. The Sharks started former Predators prospect Yaroslav Askarov in net in Monday's 6-3 loss in Boston; they will likely will start Alexandar Georgiev on Tuesday.

If only it was just one thing or even a handful things to fix. When an entire team collapses, like the San Jose Sharks did blowing a 5-1 lead to the Nashville Predators, what do you do? Would calling a timeout have stopped the bleeding?
