DENVER — Goalie Martin Jones gave the Sharks every opportunity Thursday to take command of their second round series and set up a chance to eliminate the Colorado Avalanche at home this weekend.
His teammates didn’t quite play with the same level of urgency, and now their series with the Avalanche is a best-of-three.
Jones made 25 saves but the Sharks couldn’t solve Philipp Grubauer at the other end in a 3-0 loss at Pepsi Center in Game 4, as the Avalanche tied the series 2-2 with Game 5 on Saturday in San Jose. Game 6 will be in Denver on Monday at a time to be determined.
