Special teams carry Vancouver past San Jose for 4-2 win in Game 4

Vancouver used three power-play goals on three 5-on-3 opportunities in Sunday's 4-2 victory over San Jose in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals at the HP Pavillion in San Jose.
Henrik Sedin scored on one of the 5-on-3's while Sami Salo had the other two goals. The Canucks went up 4-0 before the Sharks added two late tallies, but couldn't complete the comeback. Daniel Sedin had four assists.
San Jose didn't fare well on the power play as it was 0-for-5 midway through the second period when Vancouver took over.
Anttii Neimi had a poor game after playing decent in Game 3. I doubt the Sharks have anything left.
Special teams proved to be pretty important.
