KANATA, Ontario — Erik Karlsson’s second trip to Canadian Tire Centre as a member of the Sharks wasn’t any prettier than his first visit last season.
The Sharks fell behind by two goals late in the first period and never fully recovered in a dismal 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, the team that was thought to be the most beatable when this road trip against Atlantic Division teams.
Evander Kane and Kevin Labanc both scored, but the Senators scored four times in their first 22 shots as Sharks backup goalie Aaron Dell struggled in his second start in three games.
