The Nashville Predators will look to start a new winning streak on the road tonight when they face the Sharks in San Jose. It's the second of three meetings between the two this season; the Preds dropped a 5-4 decision in Nashville back in October.
Monday night saw the Preds earn a point in Anaheim, before ultimately falling to the Ducks in a shootout. It was Nashville's first loss away from home on the season, snapping a streak of eight consecutive road victories.
The group still has points in all nine of their road contests - and points in six straight overall - but the Preds know they have more to give than what they showed against the Ducks.

"We're finding ways to get points, but we want two every game," Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis said. "We've been fortunate in getting points and timely goals, but we have a difficult back-to-back, and hopefully we're a better version [tonight]."
Nashville was without forward Calle Jarnkrok on Monday, out for his second consecutive game with a lower-body injury. Viktor Arvidsson and Dan Hamhuis are on Injured Reserve.
