San Jose looked poised to at least force overtime against Ottawa in the team’s only SAP Center meeting this season, but a couple fluky bounces created a one-on-one that the Senators converted on with a minute to go to take a 3-2 lead. The Senators scored on the empty net to shock the Sharks and win 4-2 on Wednesday night.
The Sharks came into tonight's game against the Senators as one of the hottest teams in the NHL (.731 Win Percentage since November 7th) and on four days of rest. The eternal question with hot teams coming back from long breaks remains: Will there be any rust that will affect the hot streak?
