4/27 NHL: Nashville at San Jose

[swole]

San Jose looks to extend its winning streak to three games when they tangle with the Nashville Predators on Thursday at HP Pavilion for Game 4 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

It was Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo who led the way all year, but it's Patrick Marleau who is leading the Sharks in the postseason with three goals.

The Sharks are favored, opening as 240 chalk, with an opening total of 6.

The Predators come off a 4-1 loss against the Sharks in Game 3, a contest where they managed just 17 shots to San Jose's 40.
