Blues Control the Chances, Sharks Still Have a Window

St. Louis has been the busier team early.

St. Louis has out-attempted San Jose 10-7 and leads shots on goal 5-2. The Blues have generated noticeably more high-danger chances, and their chances sit at 0.63 expected goals to San Jose’s 0.12 expected goals — but Michael Kesselring hit the crossbar and San Jose has a power play later in the period, a clear route to even the period before intermission.
