CALGARY, Alberta, May 14 (UPI) -- Evgeni Nabokov made 34 saves for his third playoff shutout Thursday night and Alex Korolyuk scored twice, giving San Jose a 3-0 win over Calgary.
The Sharks climbed back into the Western Conference finals, although they still trail the Flames, 2-1.
Nabokov turned aside 10 shots in each of the first two periods and 14 in the third.
Just over 7 1/2 minutes into the second, Korolyuk carried into the Calgary zone and pulled up at the top of the right faceoff circle. He passed to Vincent Damphousse, who trailed the play, veered to the edge of the right circle and backhanded a shot past screened goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff.
Nabokov nursed the lead deep into the third period, when Korolyuk got a pass from Wayne Primeau at his own blue line and broke in alone on Kiprusoff. He shifted to his backhand and shoveled a shot just out of reach of the goalie's glove to give San Jose some breathing room with 1:50 left.
