Sharks shut out Blues to take series lead

Tomas Hertl scored twice and Martin Jones became the first Sharks goalie to pitch consecutive playoff shutouts as San Jose beat St. Louis 3-0 at SAP Center on Thursday.

By virtue of their Game 3 victory, the Sharks won a sixth straight game on home ice to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven Western Conference Finals series against the Blues.

Jones made 22 saves on the heels of his 26-save effort in St. Louis on Tuesday in Game 2.

Game 4 is Saturday in San Jose.

Hertl scored his second of the game and fifth of the playoffs 6:09 into the final period, a goal that chased Blues starting goalie Brian Elliott.
