St. Louis tied the series on Monday night as defenseman Robert Bortuzzo scored his first career postseason goal that put the Blues ahead 3-2 after the Sharks had erased a 2-0 deficit. Rookie sensation Jordan Binnington had 23 saves and San Jose again failed to win Game 2 after winning the first game of the series in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs. Now the series shifts to St. Louis and the Sharks are just 3-7 their last 10 road games and 2-5 their last seven as underdogs. The Blues are 17-6 over their last 23 home games and 19-9 their last 28 against teams with winning records. Also, St. Louis is 17-8 its last 25 games overall and 23-9 playing with one day of rest. The home team has won six of the last seven meetings. Play the Blues.
