Sharks goalie Vesa Toskala was pulled for Evgeni Nabokov after allowing two goals on five shots, but Nabokov had a rough night too -- letting in three goals on 28 shots, as San Jose lost for the first time in its last three games.

Jean-Pierre Dumont opened the scoring for Nashville at 6:22 of the first, punching a slap shot past Toskala. Weber made it 2-0 four minutes later with a slap-shot from just inside the blue line that still had enough on it to get past Toskala.
