Joe Pavelski has gotten the Sharks to within one win of wrapping up the Western Conference finals, with Monday's 6-3 win over the Blues.

The Sharks now lead the Western Conference finals 3-2.

"It was huge, it was huge," Sharks linemate Joe Thornton, who set up -- well, who else? -- Pavelski for that tying goal in the second period. "The guys felt good about themselves coming into the dressing room. You could kind of feel the momentum shift a little bit."
