Predators and Sharks traded goals in regulation, heading to OT tied 3-3. Pavelski’s goal in first OT disallowed. Preds score in 3OT. Series tied 2-2. Back to San Jose for game 5 Saturday.
This was the second longest game in Sharks history, the longest in Predators history.
Sharks went 1/5 on man advantage. Sharks need to be better on Saturday night. They also started out with mediocre faceoffs, but improved as the night went on (regardless of the one linesman who seemed to whistle every faceoff dead if the Sharks won).
Every (neutral) ex-player analyst I've heard tonight said that Pavelski's goal should have counted.
