NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Juuse Saros made sure San Jose’s losing streak continued.

Calle Jarnkrok had a goal and an assist in the third period, Saros made 24 saves and the Nashville Predators defeated the slumping Sharks 3-1 on Tuesday night.

Nick Bonino and Ryan Johansen also scored in the third for the Predators, winners of two straight.

“It was a playoff game out there. It had that feel to it,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. “We’re trying to fight our way up and they’re coming from games where they wish they were having more success. When that happens inside of a room, things get ratcheted up with intensity.”

Timo Meier scored and Martin Jones made 28 saves for the Sharks, who have lost five in a row – including all four on the road trip they just finished.
