BLUES OFFENSE BREAKS OUT IN GAME 4, SERIES TIED 2-2
The St. Louis Blues ended a scoreless drought of 156:59 with six goals in Game 4, including the first four of the game, to defeat the San Jose Sharks and even the Western Conference Final 2-2.
* The Blues earned their sixth win as visitors in the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs, extending their record for road wins in a single postseason. St. Louis improved to 11-3-0 in their past 14 road games since March 19 (regular season and playoffs).
* The Blues have scored six goals in three playoff games (also Game 3 of the second round against the Dallas Stars: 6-1 W and Game 7 of SR at DAL: 6-1 W). Per Elias, St. Louis has scored at least six goals in three or more games of a playoff year for the second time in their history. They had four such games in 1986.

* Troy Brouwer (2-0-2) had his second career multi-goal playoff game and first since Game 1 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final against the Philadelphia Flyers (2-1-3 with the Chicago Blackhawks). Brouwer has scored seven goals in the 2016 playoffs (18 GP), matching the total from his first 78 career playoff games.
* Kyle Brodziak (2-0-2) scored his first career shorthanded goal and game-winning goal in the postseason, all in a span of 4:02 during the second period, for his first career multi-goal playoff game.

* Jake Allen, who appeared in two games this postseason in relief of Brian Elliott (Game 6 of SR vs. DAL and Game 3 of CF at SJS), made 31 saves to win his first start of the 2016 playoffs and improve to 3-4 (2.05 GAA, .911 SV%) in 10 career postseason appearances.
