Photos: San Jose Sharks plagued by injuries in 5-0 Game 5 shutout by St. Louis Blues

The San Jose Sharks not only suffered a disastrous 5=0 loss to the St. Louis Blues on home ice, but a bunch of injured players also left the bench during the game.

They lost four players to apparent injuries during Game 5: defenseman Erik Karlsson, forwards Tomas Hertl and Joonas Donskoi, and captain Joe Pavelski. In the third period, they were down to nine men on the bench, not including backup goalie Aaron Dell. Karlsson came in the game with a pre-existing injury, and appeared to grimace in pain while on the ice. Pavelski left after taking a bone-ratlling hit along the boards from Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo.
