The cat didn't quite come back, but this is the next best thing.
The Nashville Predators' mascot, Gnash, channeled his inner "Joe Paw-velski" before Game 3 against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, re-creating the black cat's Game 1 adventure.
The Sharks won the opening contest 5-2 and now hold a 2-0 series lead, so you can't blame the Predators for looking to capture some of San Jose's feline-related good fortune.
