San Jose Sharks podcast Mary Lisa:

#1 Can the Sharks snap their losing streak at home? San Jose enters the game having dropped multiple straight contests, including recent defensive struggles.

#2 Will the Flyers’ strong recent form continue on the road? Philadelphia has gone 7-2-1 in their last ten games, showing consistency despite a relatively modest scoring rate.

#3 How impactful will top players like Macklin Celebrini and Trevor Zegras be? Celebrini (Sharks) and Zegras (Flyers) are key offensive drivers and could determine the pace and outcome.

#4 Can the Sharks tighten up defensively after conceding heavily in recent games? San Jose has allowed a high number of goals recently, including a five goal loss in their last outing.

#5 Will special teams or goaltending make the difference? With both teams dealing with injuries and lineup changes, goalie performance (Dan Vladar for Philly) and power-play efficiency could be decisive.

The San Jose Sharks lost 7-4 to the Ottawa Senators Sunday. Drake Batherson, Warren Foegele, Fabian Zetterlund, Tyler Kleven, Dylan Cozens and Brady Tkachuk scored for Ottawa. Linus Ullmark made 19 saves for the win. Mario Ferraro, Tyler Toffoli, Collin Graf and Michael Misa scored for San Jose. Laurent Brossoit made 18 saves in the loss.

Laurent Brossoit made his debut in net for the Sharks after losing a full season to injury. His debut was made possible by an injury to Yaroslav Askarov, sustained on March 12. After the game, Brossoit said: “It was pretty surreal, it’s been a long time coming. I’m more grateful and appreciate being out there [more] than I ever have. Yeah, not the result that I wanted but you know, it’s not all bad. We’ll look at the game tape and be ready for the next one.”

The game started less than 24 hours after the Sharks victory in Montreal. After the game, Sharks forward Collin Graf said: “I don’t know if it was our legs, definitely a little bit impact. But I think we didn’t match their physicality well enough. I think they really took it to us in the corners and in battles and stuff like that and I think that that’s sort of what led to our loss.”

The first period was a busy one for Sharks defensemen. Mario Ferraro scored the first goal of the game with a slap shot at 4:05. Shakir Mukhamadullin got the assist.

Drake Batherson got credit for the second goal of the game. It came on the power play but really, Ferraro redirected it in while trying to intercept a pass.

The Sharks outshot the Senators 13-5 in the first period. Three penalties were called, two against the Sharks. One of those calls came with less than a minute left in the period, putting the Sens on a power play to start the second.

The next goal did not come until that power play had expired. Ottawa’s Warren Foegele tied the game at 4:31 of the second period. His wrist shot came from the inside edge of the faceoff circle, off a drop pass from M Amadio.

Collin Graf made it 3-2 with a wrist shot at 10:46. Assists went to Macklin Celebrini and Sam Dickinson.

Senator Fabian Zetterlund tied it up again at 13:30 with a power play goal. His slap shot was set up by J Spence.

Tyler Kleven gave Ottawa their first lead of the game with a wrist shot at 14:45. Zetterlund and Foegele got the assists.

In the second period, the Senators outshot the Sharks 12-6. Each team had one penalty to kill. The Senators killed theirs.

Michael Misa tied the game 4-4 with a snap shot at 3:28 of the third period. Assists went to Toffoli and Vincent Desharnais.

Drake Batherson scored his second of the night, deflecting a shot from A Zub at 13:08. Claude Giroux also got an assist.

Dylan Cozens made it 6-4 with a wrist shot at 14:50. An assist went to Brady Tkachuk.

After the game, Sharks defenseman Vincent Desharnais talked about winning in Montreal:

“It just reminded me of so many memories, like watching hockey, my dad, my grandpa, my brother, family, just sitting around the tv Saturday night with the announcer. So it’s always special for me to play here, to win a game, to have an impact on the game and it’s fun. But at the end of the day it’s two points, it’s two huge points for us and we’ve got to do it all over again tomorrow.”

One thing the Sharks might not want to do again Sunday is give up the first goal of the game. Cole Caulfield gave Montreal a lead with a wrist shot at 7:21 on Saturday. Assists went to Juraj Slafkovský and Noah Dobson.

Macklin Celebrini tied it at 13:12 with a snap shot off the goal post. Assists went to Collin Graf and John Klingberg.

Mario Ferraro gave the Sharks a lead with a snap shot from the blue line at 11:56 of the second. Assists went to Alexander Wennberg and Willliam Eklund.

Collin Graf tipped a Celebrini shot to score at 16:20. The goal made it 3-1 Sharks and would eventually be the game-winner. Assists went to Celebrini and Klingberg.

Nick Suzuki trimmed that lead by one at 17:38 with a wrist shot. Assists went to Ivan Demidov and Noah Dobson.

The second period shots were 4-3 Montreal. One penalty was called, a too many men call against the Canadiens.

The lone third period goal came from Macklin Celebrini at 17:57 into an empty net. Assists went to Collin Graf and Barclay Goodrow.

The Sharks next play on Sunday at 2:00 PM PT in Ottawa against the Senators.

#3 Mary Lisa, great night for Macklin Celebrini who wound up with two goals and was the key player for the Sharks to keep them ahead of the Habs.

#4 The Sharks also got additional goals from Mike Ferraro and Colin Graf got goals an all around team effort to help build some offense against the Canadiens.

#5 The Sharks are in Ottawa to take on the Senators Sunday afternoon at 2:00pm PDT at the Canadian Tire Centre. The Senators have won four of their last five games their only loss in the thread was to these very same Canadiens with a loss to them Wednesday 3-2. How do you see this match up Sunday?

San Jose Sharks Lincoln Juarez:

#1 San Jose is coming off a strong win over Boston and has been playing better recently, so the key question is whether they can carry that form into a tough road game in Montreal.

#2 The Canadiens are averaging more than 3.5 goals per game and have been strong offensively this season, especially at home.

#3 Players like Macklin Celebrini for San Jose and Nick Suzuki or Cole Caufield for Montreal could have a major impact on the outcome.

#4 The previous meeting earlier in March ended 7–5 in favor of San Jose, suggesting both teams can generate offense against each other.

#5 San Jose is fighting for a Western Conference wild-card spot, while Montreal sits high in the Atlantic Division and is trying to strengthen its playoff position.

After the game, Sharks forward Collin Graf talked about the Sharks penalty kill:

“It’s been really good lately. Obviously the power plays are really good in the NHL and there’s a lot of good players out there so they’re going to create something. But for us it’s just trying to limit those chances and keep to the outside and then Ned was unreal and he was bailing us out all over the place in the kill too.”

“It felt really good. It felt like I was seeing the puck good and just things were pretty clear out there. We were dong a good job of keeping guys out of the way early on,” said Nedeljkovic after the game.

Michael Misa scored the only first period goal at 5:57. His wrist shot came from the edge of the blue paint, off a pass from William Eklund. An assist also went to Tyler Toffoli.

The Sharks were badly outshot by the Bruins in the first period, 14-7. There was just one penalty called, to John Klingberg for holding.

Tyler Toffoli scored on the power play at 14:15 of the second, deflecting Macklin Celebrini’s shot. An assist also went to Dmitry Orlov. That was the only goal of the second period.

The shots were much closer in the second period, 13-11 Boston. The lone penalty called in the period was against Boston, a high-sticking call to Mason Lohrei.

Collin Graf made it 3-0 with a short-handed goal at 3:13 of the third period. Graf got behind the Bruins defense with a pass from Alexander Wennberg. An assist went to Orlov as well.

Eklund broke his 19-game goal drought with a spectacular shot that he took while airborne, jumping or tripping over the goaltender’s stick. He batted the puck in at 8:20. Assists went to Sam Dickinson and Michael Misa.

The Bruins broke the shut-out soon after, with a goal from Fraser Minten just 10 seconds later. His wrist shot went right up the slot and was screen by the defender. Assists went to David Pastrnak and Marat Khusnutdinov.
