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.

The Nashville Predators erased a four-goal deficit for the first time in franchise history to rally past the San Jose Sharks, 7-5, Tuesday at Bridgestone Arena.

Team captain Roman Josi tied the game on a crushing, power-play slapshot with 14:37 left in the third period, defenseman Nick Blankenburg gave the Preds their first lead — 6-5 — with a wrist shot from the face-off circle three minutes later, and Filip Forsberg’s empty-net goal with 1:21 remaining sealed a remarkable comeback.
