NASHVILLE — The Sharks are out of the playoffs.
But they’re still playing for each other.
San Jose played its best game in a week, blowing up the Nashville Predators’ postseason hopes in the process, in a 3-2 victory. The Los Angeles Kings have clinched the last wild-card spot in the West.
This is San Jose’s first victory over Nashville since Nov. 2019, snapping a 15-game losing streak.
“It’s a great feeling when you win, when you play like that,” Alex Nedeljkovic said, “you play for each other, play hard.”
The Sharks played a game that they could be proud of, for the first time in a week, outchancing and holding the Predators to just 27 shots.
