KEY GAME INFORMATION
SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 46-30-6, 98 points. Third place Pacific Division. Lost to Pittsburgh in Stanley Cup Final.
COACH: Peter DeBoer. (second season, ninth NHL season).
ADDED: F Mikkel Boedker, D David Schlemko, F Marcus Sorensen.
LOST: D Roman Polak, F Nick Spaling, F Dainius Zubrus, G James Reimer.
PLAYER TO WATCH: F Tomas Hertl. Hertl's knee injury in Game 2 of the final against the Penguins played a role in San Jose falling two games short of a championship. The question heading into this season is whether Hertl will be able to carry the third line as a third-line center, which would provide the depth that would make the Sharks a difficult matchup against even the top teams. Otherwise, he can go back to his role as a productive wing alongside Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.
OUTLOOK: A year after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2003, the Sharks had their best postseason run ever, making it all the way to the final before losing in six games to Pittsburgh. All the key pieces from that team are back along with the additions of Boedker's speed, Schlemko's improved puck-moving ability compared to Polak and several rookies like Nikolay Goldobin, Kevin Labanc or Timo Meier who could provide a boost. If the new additions provide the spark and the older core maintains its high level from the postseason, the Sharks should be able to contend for a title again.
NASHVILLE: LAST SEASON: 41-27-14, 96 points. Fourth in Central Division. Lost to San Jose Sharks in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Peter Laviolette (third season, 15th NHL season).
ADDED: D P.K. Subban, D Matt Carle and D Yannick Weber.
LOST: D Shea Weber, G Carter Hutton and D Barret Jackman.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Subban. The $9 million-per-year defenseman arrived June 29 in a trade that sent captain Shea Weber to Montreal. Subban is seen as an offensive upgrade. His speed and skill with the puck is a much better match for Laviolette's approach, giving the Predators a chance to score more points in the very competitive Central Division.
OUTLOOK: Stanley Cup Finals is a reasonable prediction. The Predators have made some big moves revamping this roster over the past two seasons with Subban easily the biggest yet. The Predators are banking on more offense helping them earn home-ice advantage after back-to-back seven-game series against California teams as the West's first wild card last spring.
PREVIEW
Sharks look to bounce back in Nashville

Nine days ago, the San Jose Sharks were coasting toward a second straight Pacific Division title and perhaps thinking about a return to the Stanley Cup Final.

Not anymore.

Fresh off one of its worst losses, the Sharks hope to snap their longest skid of the season when they take on the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.

With a 6-1 setback to the Dallas Stars on Friday, San Jose (42-25-7) has been outscored 16-5 while dropping five in a row, all in regulation.

"Yeah, sometimes they're going in, sometimes they're not," Sharks captain Joe Pavelski said. "Some teams are doing a good job of taking some of our plays away, but it's on us as players. You got to win some battles; you got to create some energy, some speed throughout the team. It hasn't been one guy. It's been all of us."

Soon after their latest defeat, the Sharks fell into a tie for the Pacific lead after the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Winnipeg Jets.

It's not just the top of the Pacific that's tight. San Jose and Anaheim have a two-point lead over the third-place Edmonton Oilers, and are five points ahead of the Calgary Flames. All four teams have eight games remaining, and San Jose has two more meetings each against Edmonton and Calgary.

The Sharks, who last lost six straight in regulation from Jan. 3 to Jan. 13, 2011, must first focus on getting past Nashville (37-25-11), which has an eight-point lead over the Los Angeles Kings for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference with nine games to go.

The Sharks and Predators have split two games this season, but both were in California. San Jose is 1-5-1 while being outscored 26-11 in its last seven visits to Tennessee.

Only three players -- Joe Thornton, Paul Martin and Pavelski -- have goals against the Predators in 2016-17.

Rookie Aaron Dell yielded all six goals Friday, meaning that Martin Jones will almost surely be back in net. In six games this month, Jones has four losses despite a 2.03 goals-against average.

As a member of the Sharks, Jones' only game in Nashville was disastrous. He surrendered five goals in a 6-2 loss on Feb. 6, 2016.

The Predators are going for their sixth win in seven games after posting a 3-1 win over Calgary on Thursday.

"We've got to keep it moving in the right direction," Predators coach Peter Laviolette told the team's official website. "That being said, it doesn't guarantee anything for Saturday. We're going to have to come out and play a really good team, work hard to be successful."

The Predators own one of the best home records in the NHL at 22-8-7, thanks in large part to Viktor Arvidsson, who's emerged as a star in his second full NHL season.

A fourth-round pick in the 2014 draft, Arvidsson has 27 goals in 71 games, trailing only linemate Filip Forsberg (29 goals) for the team lead. Arvidsson and Forsberg have each scored 17 goals in front of the home fans.

"That's probably what we're talking about (Arvidsson) right now and how impressed we are by the way he's been consistent for us all year," linemate Ryan Johansen told the Tennessean.

Arvidsson has four goals and two assists in his last six games, and 23 points -- including 15 goals -- in his last 23 games.

Pekka Rinne will likely start in goal for the Preds, and be in search of his 30th win. Rinne has won his last four home starts against San Jose, allowing just five goals.

If Juuse Saros gets the call, he'll go for his second career win over the Sharks. Saros made 25 saves in Nashville's 3-1 victory on March 11.
