The Sharks’ third-longest losing streak and one of their roughest weeks in franchise history has come to an end after the Sharks defeated the Ottawa Senators 2-1 Saturday night.
All it took for the Sharks to win this game was Thomas Bordeleau’s first two-goal performance at the NHL level. These goals were scored on two separate power plays early in the first period and late in the second period. Mikael Granlund assisted on both Bordeleau goals, while Fabian Zetterlund assisted on the first Bordeleau goal and William Eklund assisted on the second Bordeleau goal. The only goal scored by the Senators in this game was via Tim Stutzle just past the nine-minute mark of the second period.
Besides the two goals from Bordeleau, Magnus Chrona registered his first NHL win, compiling 31 saves on 32 shots against. In addition, earlier today prior to this game, the Sharks called up Jacob MacDonald from the Barracuda. There was also a lawsuit filed against the team regarding an ugly and disgusting scenario involving one of the former Jr. Sharks coaches, but I don't want to discuss it here because I hate hearing about stuff like this and viewers will find it disturbing.
Overall, this win to end their nine-game skid restored some faith in this Sharks team. I wasn’t really expecting a victory today, but an improbable win like this feels great from confidence and moral standpoints nonetheless. Team Teal will embark on its last lengthy road trip of the season, with the first stop in Philadelphia against the Flyers on Tuesday at 4 pm PT.
