SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – Joonas Donskoi and Mikkel Boedker each had a goal and an assist to lead the San Jose Sharks past the Nashville Predators 4-1 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory.
Joe Pavelski and Marc-Edouard Vlasic also scored and Martin Jones made 19 saves for the Sharks, who have won six of eight.
Roman Josi scored for the Predators, who lost their second straight after recording at least a point in six of their previous seven games. Pekka Rinne stopped 19 shots but fell to 11-7-4 against the Sharks.
Donskoi scored an easy goal late in the first period thanks to the work of Boedker, who fired a pass to defenseman Tim Heed at the right side of the crease. Heed tapped a quick pass to Donskoi, who had an open net.
Pavelski redirected a shot from Brenden Dillon midway through the second period to make it 2-0.
