SAN JOSE — The rematch ended up being a replay of the first game in reverse.
After the St. Louis Blues (7-8-3) handed the Sharks (11-7-3, 25 points) their worst defeat of the season last week, the guys flipped the tables at SAP Center Saturday, putting together their best-defensive performance of the season in a 4-0 win.
“It was a good answer back, showed that we’re for real,” goalie Aaron Dell said. “Send a message to them that that’s not going to happen every time they play us.”
Erik Karlsson scored his first goal with the Sharks, Joe Pavelski stayed hot with two goals and Dell pitched the team’s first shutout of the season.
