Martin Jones (SJ): Confirmed
Current odds:
Nashville Predators: (+140)
San Jose Sharks: (-160)
• The San Jose Sharks identified themselves as road warriors last season with a franchise-best 28 wins while their record at home (18-20-3) left plenty to be desired. The Sharks have seen the tables turn on both fronts this season and look to remain perfect at SAP Center on Saturday as they conclude a three-game homestand against the Nashville Predators.
• Viktor Arvidsson scored and registered an assist on Thursday to raise his team-leading totals in goals (four) and points (six). While the 23-year-old Swede’s contributions are a pleasant surprise after he scored just eight times in 56 games last season, Filip Forsberg and James Neal have yet to find the back of the net after erupting for a club-best 33 and 31 goals, respectively, last season. Nashville also has struggled with its special teams on the road, having surrendered eight power-play tallies in four games (0-3-1).
• Special teams has been the name of the game for San Jose, which is 3-for-7 on the power play during their homestand and 4-for-10 with the man advantage at SAP Center this season. The Sharks have thwarted 18 of their last 19 short-handed situations after killing just three of six penalties in their first three games.
• The teams are facing off for the first time since the Sharks outlasted the Predators in seven games during their second-round playoff series last spring.
• Nashville failed to score on the power play on Thursday after scoring with the man advantage in six straight games to open the season.
• San Jose G Martin Jones has turned aside 64 of 67 shots at home.
