Sharks enter playoffs as underdog for change

St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock hasn't announced which goalie will start in Game 1, but with each goalie winning twice in the regular season against San Jose it might not matter much. The Blues allowed 155 goals all season, their fewest ever in an 82-game campaign.

Notes: F Ryane Clowe did not skate at practice after missing the third period of the season finale against Los Angeles on Saturday with an undisclosed injury. D Brent Burns also got a "maintenance day" but McLellan said he expected the entire roster to be healthy for the series opener. ... F Torrey Mitchell was back on the ice after being held out of Saturday's game while recovering from a hard check he took Thursday in Los Angeles, and said he had no limitations. ... The Sharks will wear black jerseys at home in the postseason for the second straight year instead of teal. They went 12-2-0 in black and 14-10-3 in teal.
