After the theatrical game on Broadway, the Ottawa Senators welcomed Erik Karlsson and the San Jose Sharks to the Canadian Tire Centre tonight. With Artem Zub out and Anton Forsberg between the pipes, the Sens were looking to build off a big win in New York against the similarly ranked Sharks.
The game started out with San Jose drawing first blood. With Brady Tkachuk in the box for a rare undisciplined high stick, Tomas Hertl found the puck bouncing off the end boards and buried his eighth of the year. Fortunately for the faithful in attendance, Tkachuk made up for his penalty by scoring yet another goal, this time on a rebound on the powerplay.
