Are the San Jose Sharks and St. Louis Blues rivals in disguise? Maybe.
The Blues are in the West Division alongside the Sharks. I’ll let you decide, but San Jose has been a pesky opponent for St. Louis since the 2016 Western Conference Finals. In that series, San Jose eliminated St. Louis in six games.
Here’s a quick recap of the series:
Game 1: David Backes scored a goal on the power play. Tomas Hertl tied the game 1-1. Jori Lehtera scored the go-ahead goal. Blues won 2-1 and took a 1-0 series lead.
