Regardless of the outcome of their second-round series against the San Jose Sharks, the Nashville Predators have already achieved their greatest success in the playoffs to date.

In order to even force a Game 7, the Predators had to make team history by overcoming a multi-goal deficit to win a playoff game for the first time ever.

Nashville fell into an early 2-0 hole in Game 6, only to force overtime and push the series to the limit thanks to Viktor Arvidsson's overtime goal.

The Predators, of course, aren't even halfway to the ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup, but it's an important step for the relatively young franchise, with even greater success still within their grasp.
