On Sunday night, the Montreal Canadiens looked to string two wins together after their recent losing streak. The good news for them was that the San Jose Sharks also played the previous night against a Senators team that managed six goals against what was predicted to be one of the best defences of the league this season.
There was a lot of pace to the game right from the start, as the Sharks got an odd-man rush after some confusion in the neutral zone. A well-timed slide from Jordie Benn, who was in need of a bounce-back performance, saved the day.
