Blues find their way in San Jose

Backup goalie helps St. Louis deadlock series

Changing goaltenders gave the St. Louis Blues a spark, and changing their style of play helped them knot the NHL's Western Conference final with the San Jose Sharks at two games apiece on Saturday.

Troy Brouwer and Kyle Brodziak each scored twice, Jake Allen stopped 31 shots in his first start of the postseason and the Blues bounced back from consecutive shutout losses to whip the Sharks 6-3.
