Nashville Predators 1, San Jose Sharks 2 SOThe Nashville Predators lose a tough game in a shootout to the hated, San Jose Sharks. The Sharks pretty much controlled most of this game, but the Predators were able to squeak one goal in. Even though the Predators were to get one point, it is still a sucky loss. Now, Nashville is only a point away from taking 4th place. Hopefully, Paul Gaustad is okay after his injury. One positive thing to take out of this game was to protection of Pekka Rinne. Every single time a Shark came near, or touched, Rinne, the Preds were all over them. I liked that a lot, and I know Peks appreciated it as well.
Paul Gaustad InjuredPaul Gaustad left the game in the third period with 11:10 remaining. Paul Gaustad was circling around, but Dominic Moore hit him from behind. Gaustad landed awkwardly on his left hand.Gaustad left the ice holding his left wrist. The Predators medical staff said it was an "upper body" injury. Paul Gaustad didn't retu...
