In a challenging game against the Ottawa Senators, the Sharks faced another tough defeat, marking their eighth consecutive loss. After holding a lead into the third period with power play goals from Tyler Toffoli and Timothy Liljegren, they fell apart defensively, allowing three unanswered goals. A critical error occurred early in the third when a shot deflected off the boards, leading to Tim Stützle scoring the go-ahead goal. Despite a brief comeback attempt with a late goal from Will Smith, an empty-netter sealed their fate.
The Sharks allowed consecutive goals to Brady Tkachuk, Stützle, and David Perron, and their third-period foibles continued in what became their eighth straight loss.
With the game still tied early in the third period, a Ridly Greig shot took a weird carom off the boards, leading to an open net for Tim Stützle.
Tyler Toffoli and Timothy Liljegren also scored power play goals for the Sharks, with Liljegren's goal at the 9:47 mark of the second period giving San Jose a 2-1 lead.
The Sharks now own a 9-7-4 record in games in which they held a lead after two periods, and are now 0-2-2 on this seven-game road trip.
