ST. LOUIS — The San Jose Sharks got their power play revved up. Martin Jones took care of everything on the other end, cementing the victory that evened the Western Conference finals at a game apiece.

“Guys came out with a good sense of urgency and got after it,” said San Jose captain Joe Pavelski, who had an assist in a 4-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues that silenced another big home turnout Tuesday night. “It’s good to see the power play strike a little bit.”

Brent Burns scored San Jose’s first 2 power-play goals of the Western Conference finals, and Jones stopped 26 shots for his second shutout of the postseason.

Jones wasn’t happy about giving up the go-ahead goal in Game 1 to Jori Lehtera on a shot that slipped through his left armpit.

“Obviously, Game 1 you don’t like to lose on a goal like that, “Jones said. “But I thought I played well other than that and wasn’t about to change anything. We got the bounces tonight.”

Tommy Wingels and Dainius Zubrus also scored and Logan Couture had 2 assists to help the Sharks bounce back from a tight loss. Couture leads the postseason with 19 points.

Game 3 is Thursday night in San Jose.

Brian Elliott made 20 saves for St. Louis, which is 4-5 at home and 5-2 on the road in the postseason. Elliott wasn’t as sharp as he has been throughout the Blues’ run to their first conference final since 2001, nor were players who leaned on him heavily in Game 1.

“(The Sharks) have got their ‘A’ game going right now and it’s our job to catch up,” coach Ken Hitchcock said. “We have played two ‘B’ games. We’ll take 1-1 right now with the way we’ve played.”

Burns’ fifth and sixth goals of the postseason came on one-timers with Troy Brouwer in the penalty box and were his only shots of the game.

The 6-foot-5, 230-pound defenseman made it 2-0 in the second off a nice setup from Pavelski just 16 seconds after Brouwer went off for slashing, and made it a 3-goal gap about 12 minutes into the third off a feed from Patrick Marleau 24 seconds after Brouwer was whistled for high sticking.

Coach Peter DeBoer said Burns’ shot is the “best I’ve ever seen.”

“I think just how he can get it off from every angle, how he can get it to the net off balance, in bad spots. He finds a way to get it there,” DeBoer added. “If it’s in the right spot, it’s going in.”

Neither team made any lineup changes.
