Burns' second power-play goal came after another Brouwer penalty, this time for slashing in the offensive zone. Burns' slap shot from the left circle high glove side at 11:58 of the third gave the Sharks a 3-0 lead.
"We talked about little things that they do and what we want to do," Burns said. "I don't think we really changed much. We wanted to make a difference this game. All year we've been good. If we don't make a difference positively the game before, we can change it the next game and be able to capitalize."
Burns became the 11th defenseman in NHL history with two multigoal games in one postseason, the first since Rob Blake (2002, Colorado Avalanche). Denis Potvin is the only defenseman with three multigoal games in a playoff year; he did it in 1981 with the New York Islanders, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Zubrus scored his first goal of the playoffs into an empty net with 18.4 seconds remaining.
"I think we just played that game for longer periods," Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. "I was happy with the second [period] and parts of the third in Game 1. I thought we brought our good game to the rink tonight for longer periods. Getting the first goal was big. I knew our power play would bounce back. It always has all year. But, you know, I liked our 5-on-5 game. We got contributions from everyone."
