It's a best of three now.
The St. Louis Blues tied up the Western Conference finals at 2-2 after a 6-3 win in Game 4 on Saturday, chasing San Jose Sharks goalie Martin Jones from the crease. Jones, though, is confident heading into Game 5, as he and his team have been exceptional after losses in the postseason.
"We've responded well any time we've needed to all season long," he said. "We'll be ready for the next one."
Jones allowed four goals on 19 shots before being replaced by James Reimer. The Sharks woke up in the third period, outshooting the Blues 16-5 and scoring three times, but the game was over after 40 minutes, with the Sharks down 4-0.
Head coach Peter DeBoer echoed his goaltender.
"We didn't execute tonight. We got burnt. Short memory and we'll move on to the next one. We've always responded in the right way."
The Sharks are 3-1 following a loss this spring.
