The St. Louis Blues weren't expected to finish second in the West, just as the San Jose Sharks weren't expected to finish seventh. But here they are, kicking off the Western Conference Quarterfinals in those very positions.
If you were told before the 2011-12 NHL season that the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks would face each other as the No. 2 vs. No. 7 matchup in the Western Conference Quarterfinals, you certainly wouldn't have guessed that the Blues would have the home-ice edge.
But they are indeed the worthy favorites heading into the first round series, and in the season series against the Sharks, St. Louis won every single game. Here's a look at the series schedule.
