Filip Forsberg's outstanding performance saw him score twice, extending his goal streak to an impressive seven games. The Nashville Predators triumphed over the San Jose Sharks with a thrilling 6-5 victory, marking their fifth consecutive win. Forsberg made history by being the first player in NHL history to score in seven straight games after going through a goal drought of at least 18 games. Luke Schenn contributed significantly with three assists, while Justin Barron and Roman Josi each netted a goal. Despite a shaky third period where they let a three-goal lead slip, the Predators managed to secure the win.
Macklin Celebrini shone for the Sharks, scoring his NHL rookie-leading 15th goal, alongside contributions from Mario Ferraro, Henry Thrun, and Walker Duehr. Goalie Yaroslav Askarov made 32 saves against his old team, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Sharks from experiencing their fifth straight loss, further extending their difficult season.
