The San Jose Sharks have to be confident heading home for these Western Conference finals.
Curiously, so too may be the St. Louis Blues.
The Sharks have won five straight at home in the playoffs, but the Blues have done their best work on the road heading into Game 3 on Thursday night.
San Jose won Game 2 at St. Louis 4-0 on Tuesday to even the series. Brent Burns scored two power-play goals and Martin Jones made 26 saves for his second shutout of the playoffs.
The Sharks entered the series clicking at 31 percent on the power play, best in the postseason.
