ST. LOUIS (AP) — Filip Zadina and Mikael Granlund scored goals just 27 seconds apart and the San Jose Sharks dealt a damaging blow to the St. Louis Blues’ slim playoff chances with a 4-0 win on Saturday night. Mackenzie Blackwood made 35 saves for San Jose, which has the worst record in the NHL and snapped a nine-game winless streak with its first victory since March 9. Luke Kunin also scored and Jan Rutta added an empty-net goal for the Sharks, who beat St. Louis for the second time in as many tries this season. It was Blackwood’s 10th career shutout and second this season.
