VIDEO: Sharks' Jones thwarts Forsberg during 2-on-1 rush
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
San Jose Sharks goalie Martin Jones had hopes of his third shutout of the season dashed quickly Wednesday by Eric Nystrom, but he kept his team within a goal of the Nashville Predators with an incredible effort just moments later.
After Predators forward James Neal sped past a diving Paul Martin to start a 2-on-1, he dished a perfect saucer pass to Filip Forsberg who was robbed by an outstretched Jones.
The Sharks failed to reward their netminder with any offense in the first, but that's not new to the Predators - who are yet to allow a goal in the opening frame of any game this season.
