	In a strange trend, the high-powered Sharks have been the ones who have been out-shot lately, after having the opposite occur most of last year. What’s more odd is the fact that they’re finding ways to win when that happens. Such happened Saturday night, as San Jose got past the playoff-contending Nashville Predators, 4-3, at the Sommet Center, with Dany Heatkey scoring twice, including the game-winning goal in the third period. The two teams went back and forth for two periods, with Nashville drawing first blood in the first period with the first of two goals by J.P. Dumont with only 1:39 elapsed in the game. Thirty-three seconds later, Sharke tough guy Brad Staubitz, obviously much more known for his fisticuffs than his puck handling, beat Pekka Rinne to tie the game up. Dumont scored again to give Nashville the lead before Heatley scored on a power play to again tie the match, before San Jose’s Rob Blake and Predators winger Joel Ward traded goals to enter the second intermission all squared up. Then, at the 11:57 mark, Heatley scored his 32nd goal of the game on the power play to give the Sharks their only lead of the game, and it would stand up.
