The Senators went into tonight’s game with a chance to sweep the California road trip since the first time since some guy nicknamed the Hamburglar led the Sens to the most improbably march to the playoffs in NHL history. But another Hamburlgar-esque run was not (yet?) to be, because the Sharks took it 4-1. The Sens never looked outplayed for long stretches, but some clutch goaltending by Martin Jones and a couple fortuitous bounces for the Sharks sealed this one.
The start of the game was delayed because the Sharks were celebrating Brent Burns’ 1000th game.
