The Sharks broke their goal-scoring drought with a vengeance Tuesday night to run the Edmonton Oilers right out of SAP Center.
San Jose’s 7-0 victory followed consecutive shutout losses and tied the Western Conference quarterfinal series at two wins apiece. Game 5 is Thursday in Edmonton, and the series is guaranteed to return to the South Bay for Game 6 on Saturday.
“It’s just one of those games that just happens,” Sharks forward Joel Ward said. “It means nothing now going on to the next game — 1-0 or 7-0, it’s just another game and you keep moving forward.
