Ivan Barbashev scored 35 seconds after puck drop and Tyler Bozak notched a power-play goal later in the first period to provide the all the offense the St. Louis Blues would need in a 2-1 win over the San Jose Sharks. Jordan Binnington stopped 29 of 30 shots, only surrendering a power-play marker to Tomas Hertl in the third period. Martin Jones finished with 20 saves for the Sharks. The series is now tied 2-2 and heads back to San Jose for Game 5 on Sunday afternoon.
