Sharks Beat Blues Again

San Jose
Sharks

"We're an underdog, we weren't picked to win this. So all we can do is impress people with our play and try to win this thing," Nolan said. "This series is far from over, we don't want to get our confidence too high -- but we just need two (more wins)."

Game 4 of the best-of-7 series is Wednesday at San Jose.

"This is a great team effort," Nolan said. "We capitalized on a few chances and played great defensively. Don't knock St. Louis. They are a good physical team, but we feel we have a size advantage over them. We want to rotate lines and wear them down defensively."

The Blues outshot the Sharks 32-22, but Steve Shields in San Jose's net played a strong game.

"We had a little bit of a letdown and they just got the goal," Blues captain Chris Pronger said. "It just as well could have gone our way. We had a lot of opportunities to get the rebound, but we just couldn't cash in."
