The Sharks have won four consecutive playoff games for the first time since last season's first-round sweep of the Ducks.
On Sunday against the Avalanche, San Jose will attempt to defend home ice again in Game 2.
The Sharks are coming off a convincing 5-2 victory over Colorado in Game 1, in which San Jose seemed to find its legs as the contest progressed. Martin Jones won his fourth consecutive start, and he'll be in between the pipes again Sunday at SAP Center.
