Legace, Guerin lift Blues over Sharks

Manny Legace saved 31 shots and Bill Guerin scored as the St. Louis Blues ended the San Jose Sharks’ four-game winning streak with a 1-0 victory Saturday night at San Jose.

Legace recorded the 16th shutout of his career, and the Blues enter the All-Star break with a three-game winning streak. The second-place Sharks remained four points behind the Ducks for the lead in the Pacific Division.

Guerin’s goal came with 1:24 left in the second. He skated around the net and flipped the puck past goalie Evgeni Nabokov.
