There’s something wrong with this postseason for the Sharks.
And that is that there is nothing wrong.
San Jose leads a Western Conference finals series (2-1) for the first time in club history. The Sharks can extend their advantage Saturday when they host the Blues in Game 4 before the best-of-seven series returns to St. Louis on Monday.
A Sharks’ victory at SAP Center would give them a franchise-record 11 wins in the postseason and put them on the brink of their first appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals.
How does a team with a reputation as postseason underachiever keep from getting too far ahead of itself after coming off back-to-back shutout wins that suddenly have them in the discussion as potential Cup favorites?
