Sharks Blank Blues, Even Series

Brent Burns scored San Jose's first two power-play goals of the Western Conference finals and Jones stopped 26 shots for his second shutout of the postseason as the San Jose Sharks blanked the St. Louis Blues 4-0 to even their best of seven Western Conference Finals series.

Jones wasn't happy about giving up the go-ahead goal in Game 1 to Jori Lehtera on a shot that slipped through his left armpit.

 

Tommy Wingels and Dainius Zubrus also scored and Logan Couture had two assists to help the Sharks bounce back from a tight loss. Couture leads the postseason with 19 points.

 

Brian Elliott made 20 saves for St. Louis, which is 4-5 at home and 5-2 on the road in the postseason. Elliott wasn't as sharp as he's been throughout the Blues' run to their first conference final since 2001, nor were players who leaned on him heavily in Game 1.

 

Game 3 is Thursday night in San Jose.
