Joe Pavelski scored the first goal in his return to action to help lift the San Jose Sharks to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche in Game Seven in San Jose.
It was Pavelski's first action since being injured in Game Seven of the previous series against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Tomas Hertl and Joonas Donskoi also scored for the Sharks.
Martin Jones stopped 27 of 29 shots for San Jose, which will face St. Louis in the Western Conference Finals. Mikko Rantanen and Tyson Jost both scored for Colorado.
Colin Wilson thought he had tied the game in the second before a controversial replay determined the Avalanche were offside.
Philipp Grubauer allowed three goals on 27 shots for Colorado, which bows out of the NHL playoffs.
