Let's examine some goalie options for Tuesday's eight-game slate, including whether it's time to move away from Leevi Merilainen.

Nick Blankenburg scored at 8:09 of the third to lead the Nashville Predators to a 7-5 comeback victory over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night.

Jonathan Marchessault scored and added three assists, and Tommy Novak and Filip Forsberg each tallied a goal and two assists for the Predators, who have won four straight. Fedor Svechkov, Justin Barron and Roman Josi also scored for Nashville, which improved to 10-6-1 over the last 17.

Jonathan Marchessault had one goal and three assists to lead the Nashville Predators in a come-from-behind 7-5 win over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday

Nashville owns a 14-game point streak (13-0-1) against San Jose that dates back to March 16, 2019, in which the team has allowed more than two goals against only once. The last time the Predators were defeated at home by the Sharks was on Oct. 21, 2018, by a score of 5-4 and the last time they lost on the road was Nov. 9, 2019, in a 2-1 shootout.

The Sharks had a 5-1 lead with 16:32 left in the second period. Nashville then came all the way back and won the game for their fourth straight. Prior to tonight, Nashville had never come back to win a regular season game after being down four goals.

The Nashville Predators will look to extend their winning streak to four games when they host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday in the first of a home-and-home between the two clubs.

Will Smith had a goal and assist for the Sharks in a 6-3 loss to the Bruins in his homecoming on Monday before San Jose also lost 7-5 at Nashville

Nashville owns a 13-game point streak (12-0-1) against San Jose that dates back to March 16, 2019, in which the team has not allowed more than two goals against in a single contest. The Predators have won each of their last 10 games vs. the Sharks.

The Predators are likely to start Juuse Saros, who is looking for his 12th win of the season. The Sharks started former Predators prospect Yaroslav Askarov in net in Monday's 6-3 loss in Boston; they will likely will start Alexandar Georgiev on Tuesday.

At one point on Tuesday night, the Predators trailed by four goals. Until they didn’t.

Leevi Merilainen allowed five goals in his previous start despite earning the win. Is this the end of his hot streak?
