DENVER, April 26 (UPI) -- Evgeni Nabokov made 33 saves for his second playoff shutout and Vincent Damphousse scored midway through the third period Monday as San Jose beat Colorado, 1-0.

With the win, the Sharks grabbed a three games to none lead in their NHL Western Conference semifinal series.

San Jose yielded just three goals in winning the first two games at home but allowed even fewer scoring chances as the series shifted to the Pepsi Center. The few times Colorado threatened, Nabokov was there.

The native of Kazakhstan improved to 7-1 in the postseason while extending his shutout streak to 112 minutes, 59 seconds.

Just under six minutes earlier, Damphousse scored the only goal Nabokov needed. After getting a carom off the end boards, Damphousse banked a shot off the goaltender's back for his third playoff goal.

The Sharks have won five straight games and can complete the first sweep in team history on Wednesday in Denver.
