Jones shuts out Blues 4-0 as Sharks even series

Jones stopped all 26 shots he faced for his second shutout of the playoffs as the Sharks beat the Blues 4-0 at Scottrade Center.

The Sharks were able to keep the puck in the offensive zone and Dainius Zubrus found Tommy Wingels in the high slot.

[...] the power-play unit, which had scored in four straight games before failing on three chances on Sunday, made it 2-0 in the second with the first of Brent Burns’ two goals.

The Sharks took advantage of their second power play of the night after Burns was slashed by Troy Brouwer, with Burns scoring his fifth goal of the playoffs off an assist from Joe Pavelski with 12:56 remaining in the second period.

[...] the hosts only managed four shots on goal during the four minutes and couldn’t get any past Jones, who entered the game with a 2.16 goals-against average and .918 save percentage this postseason.

Burns added a power-play goal with 8:02 remaining, his sixth of the playoffs, on a one-timer off a pass from Marleau.
