The San Jose Sharks knotted up the best-of-seven Western Conference Finals at one-game apiece with a 4-0 victory over the Blues on Tuesday.

The series shifts back to San Jose with the Sharks earning a split in St. Louis and stealing home-ice advantage.

The Sharks jumped ahead early on a quick strike by Tommy Wingels two minutes into the first period, and built on their lead with back-to-back power play goals by Brent Burns. The first came on a nice passing play in the second period, as the Sharks took advantage of a Blues’ player without a stick. Joe Pavelski found a wide-open Burns with a cross-ice feed for the goal.

Burns struck again midway through the third period to give the Sharks a 3-0 lead, blasting a one-time from the point past Blues’ goaltender Brian Elliot. An empty-net goal by Dainius Zubrus sealed the win.

Martin Jones stopped all 26 shots he faced and the Sharks held the Blues scoreless in six power play opportunities.

Game 3 will be on Thursday at SAP Center as the Sharks look to take the lead in the series.
