The San Jose Sharks have been known throughout the years as a high-skilled, offensive team and that is certainly still the case in these playoffs. However, team teal is a drastically different group in their own end of the ice as their defense has fueled San Jose to a 2-1 series lead over the St. Louis Blues in this Western Conference Final series.
For the first time in franchise history, the Sharks have posted back-to-back shutouts and for the first time in their own history, the Blues have been shut out in consecutive postseason contests.
