ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues will attempt to win the first two games of a playoff series for the first time this postseason when they take on the San Jose Sharks in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals Tuesday at 8 p.m. in St. Louis. Here’s what to watch for as the Sharks work for a split on the road:
• Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko missed the morning skate for the birth of his son. Dmitrij Jaskin skated in his place on a line with Jori Lehtera and Jaden Schwartz.
