A slow start combined with neutral and defensive zone turnovers were too much for the San Jose Sharks to overcome Sunday night as they dropped Game 1 to the St. Louis Blues, 2-1 at the Scottrade Center.
Team teal got off to a slow start in the first period and were fortunate not to fall behind at the 11:35 mark when a Blues goal was cancelled out for goaltender interference. Blues coach Ken Hitchcock would challenge the call, but clearly, Sharks goaltender Martin Jones was interfered with when trying to stop the puck.
