A big hit sidelined San Jose defenseman Matt Tennyson and fired up the Sharks.
Tomas Hertl, Logan Couture and Joe Thornton each scored twice, all but one of the goals coming after Tennyson was hurt, as the Sharks beat the St. Louis Blues 6-3 on Monday.
The Sharks improved to 21-9-2 away from SAP Center, matching their total road wins from last season.
Tennyson was injured when St. Louis forward Ryan Reaves rammed him into the glass behind the San Jose goal and smashed his face into the divider.
