The Sharks have scored 3, 2, 1, and 0 (x3) goals against the St. Louis Blues this season.

The Blues have scored 4, 3 (x3), 2, and 1 goals against the Sharks this season.

I think it's safe to say tonight should be another low scoring game, but as soon as you say something like that things tend to get away on you. I remember last postseason heading into game three against the Los Angeles Kings everyone was talking about another 2-1 game and all of a sudden San Jose drops a five spot in the second period and ends up winning 6-5 in overtime. There's no method to the madness this time of year.

At any rate, another huge game at HP Pavilion tonight. San Jose got the road split we all said was going to be important and now have the opportunity to take advantage of home ice.
