The San Jose Sharks Audio Network is proud to present
Sharks Instant Replay.
Highlights from the most recent San Jose Sharks game.
From Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa.
Final score, the Ottawa Center 7 and the San Jose Sharks 4.
Time now for the instant replay as to how everything happened here
in the Canada capital city in front of a crowd of 18,000
764 fans who were on their feet screaming and yelling
when it really mattered.
And that, of course, was when the senators
would take control of the game after a back-and-forth contest
that began early.
The Sharks started Laurent Braswa in net.
First time he's been in the NHL since 2024.
After getting back to health after some hip problems.
Played great for the barracuda with the injury of T.R.
Slough Askeroff and with the Sharks in a back-to-back situation
here, the coaching staff elected to go with Braswa.
And he came up with some really solid saves.
The final score of this game notwithstanding.
One of the big saves came against Tim Stutzler in the first
period.
The Sharks scooped it up.
John Klingberg bodied off the play by Tim Stutzler,
who's on the ice with Claude Giroux and the aforementioned
Batherson.
Batherson wins a battle behind the net.
Centres and out in front.
And a shot point blank save by the gold tenor Braswa
off of Tim Stutzler right in front of the net.
Boy, that's a way to get welcome back into the national hockey
league for the first time since 2024.
And Braswa stood tall and was equal to the task.
He did that a couple of times.
That was in the first period when the score was nothing, nothing.
And later in the game when the aforementioned Stutzler
got another shorthanded break, he made another big stop.
That could have been a turning point of the game.
But unfortunately, it was not.
Yeah, there was a couple times where there couldn't have been
turning points.
And like we both said before, it's those little things that kind of
turned the game around.
You know, I think Braswa, I think he looked fine.
I think seven goals sucks for the first time coming back.
But there's a lot of good things that he had in his game.
And I don't mind that.
I think he grows from here.
He already here.
He looked very common there.
And then just to kind of clean up the slack on the sides.
Last night, Mario Ferraro played an outstanding game on defense
alongside Shakira Mooka-Modelen.
And that deepair did a really good job with the score nothing,
nothing in the first period to kind of take control of the game.
Ferraro, who scored his fifth goal of the season last night,
would pick up his sixth off of Mooka-Modelen pass,
following some good work by the sharks forwards at 405.
It's off the face, it's off now.
It's controlled by the SENS.
Brady Kutchuk's got it.
And he skates from left to right.
A lead pass to the middle, off of a nice defensive play by God.
That he steals.
It could be a two on one with Goodrow.
But that moves in.
Goes to the backhand, trying to slide it to Barkley Goodrow
in front knocked away.
Now the shot's score.
Barkley Goodrow sets up the screen.
And how about Mario Ferraro?
He's got goals in consecutive games,
because of the work by the sharks forwards
after the first save was made off Goddeck by Omar.
And Mario Ferraro puts the sharks in front,
one nothing at 405 of this first period.
Really unfortunate that neither Goodrow nor Gordeck got an assist on that,
because the senators grabbed the puck after that save by Omar
and tried to clear it.
Shakira Mooka-Modelen with that long reach kept it in
and slid a perfect pass to Mario Ferraro.
And it happened so quickly, all Mario did was let the shot go.
Ferraro has his career best six gold of a season.
Mooka-Modelen is first to have two assists on the game
at 405 of the game.
And it was one nothing.
San Jose at that point.
The problem is Ottawa would get a power play a little bit later on.
John Klingberg took an interference call at six minutes and 17 seconds.
And the senators would convert in albeit unorthodox fashion on the man advantage.
Put to the slot by the sends again.
Shak on the left wing gets it back.
Now to the point.
And now it's the near side.
A shot blocked by Ferraro.
Another chance by Katshuk.
And it's blocked again.
Shabbat goes to Katshuk, down low.
Bathurston feeds in front of the defense and in.
Top break from Mario Ferraro.
And one off is stick.
And right through Bruswaw.
And so the senators get a kind of a fluke power play goal.
And they tie the game one-one.
Drake Bathurston is going to get credit.
It did is 26th of the year.
An unassisted goal since Mario Ferraro basically put the puck into his own net.
And so that took some of the edge away from Ferraro's goal just moments before.
But Ferraro would get one back when he got the shark's in front by the score of two-to-one.
With a nice little play to get Tyler Tafoli the puck.
And suddenly the shark's led two-to-one.
He pokes with a forehand of the near boards and the senators have control with the shark's steal.
Aklan and Misa get it back to the point and look up at the right shot score.
Tyler Tafoli's in front of an edge.
Mario Ferraro shoots the puck and it tips up top.
San Jose takes the two-to-one lead with five, 17 left in the first period.
Nice goal by Tafoli.
His 18th good tip, Mario Ferraro.
The primary assistant, Big Shack, Shakira Mokuma-Dulin gets the other one.
San Jose led at the end of the first period by the score of two-to-one.
They outshot Ottawa 13-5 and always looking like a solid road game for San Jose.
But then a couple of things happen that were rather self-inflicted.
In fact, the second period could be called the self-inflicted period against the San Jose sharks.
The first opportunity happened for Ottawa and this one was on the goal-tender, Braswap.
Here comes Fabian Zetterland of the shark's line.
He made the turn on Mokuma-Dulin that has to dump it in deep and he's heading off on the change.
Mario steps on, gives to his man in the corner of the shot by Fogo.
He goes in, score.
Warren Fogo taking the little drop on that change.
Zetterland just got off the ice in the nick of time.
And Fogo gets the pass on the right wing from the circle, puts it through Braswap.
And Warren Fogo ties the game to two.
So Fogo, his ninth, his second goal as a senator since the trade acquisition from L.A.
Amattia, another former L.A. King on the roster, assisting on the play.
As the sharks had a soft play up the side of the left wing boards and it would be taken back.
And that one really, Braswap should have had.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, it was kind of a weird angle and just one where like it just kind of slid under, you know.
Like it was kind of right there, but then it just swept through.
So I'm sure they'll watch that one again and beat himself up for it a little bit.
But it's those ones, it's the hard ones, it's the easy one.
It's all in that count as long as the puck's going towards the net, you know.
So unfortunate for him, but I feel like he'll come back after that one.
So he made some good saves after that.
And the score was 32 San Jose shortly after that at 1046.
After Maclin set up, Brini put together a herculean effort to stop an icing call and get the puck to a waiting stick for Colin Graff.
Off the draw, senators, bank it off the boards and get it out.
Now the sharks tip the other way.
There's a race for the puck.
And Maclin set up, Brini get to it first.
There will be no icing.
Set up, Brini gets there first ahead of Shabbat.
Turns right to the slot.
What a chance.
They score.
Common graph.
What a beautiful finish.
And that was all Maclin set up, Brini.
Beating.
Thomas Shabbat was a good skater to the puck.
That stopped the icing.
Then set up, Brini twisted.
Eternity spotted, Graff, who headed right to the front of the net.
Graff beat Pinto to the puck.
Kept the stick down, stayed gritty and banged it home.
That's the 19th goal of a season for Colin Graff.
And Maclin set up, Brini gets a gorgeous assist.
It is 32 San Jose.
That should have put the senators totally on their heels for the rest of the day.
But credit to them for not totally fading.
And unfortunately, the sharks would provide them with the opportunities to get back.
Colin Graff is 19th of the season.
Maclin set up, Brini, his 60th assist of the year.
And his 50th road point.
First time any shark has ever had 50 road points into campaign.
Sam Dickinson also assisting at 1046.
We were halfway through the game.
A little bit more than that.
And the sharks were in command.
But then San Jose would get into penalty trouble.
And the senators would end up tying the contest.
Fabian Zetterland, the former San Jose shark, who scored a goal against them earlier this season.
Once again, found his former teammates, good victims.
And the senators will dump it into the shark zone.
San Jose sends it up the boards.
But Spence goes across a centerland score.
Centerland from the point.
One time did perfectly off that Spence Pass.
Sharks failed to clear it.
And that one rocketed, down low, past Rasquah.
A power play goal for Fabian Zetterland against his former team.
And it is a 3-3 time.
Spence, the only assist on Zetterland's 13th of a year.
Power play, Tally, first of two on the game for the senators.
Actually, second of two.
Second of two on the power play for Zetterland at 1340, making the score 3-3.
One minute and five seconds later, things did not go well.
Uh-oh, trouble.
Here's Zetterland lead, past Clevman shoots.
He scores.
Another turnover by the Sharks and Tyder Clevman, who scored his first career goal against San Jose.
When he started it in the NHL, gets this one at 1445.
So two goals, a minute and five seconds apart.
One by Zetterland, his 13th of a season, assisted by Jordan Spence.
And this one, Zetterland setting up Tyder Clevman to make it a 4-3 senators lead.
Official word on that goal.
Clevman's third from Zetterland and Warren Fogel at 1445 of the second.
Ottawa took the lead again, 4-3.
The Sharks would fight back to even the score.
And it was a great effort by Michael Misa that got to score even.
Off the face-off, Sharks gun it around.
Tifoli lugs it out.
He's to centrally pass Misa with speed across the line carries in.
Shoot, score!
Michael Misa just tied the game 4-4 off a tighter Tifoli pass.
And what a shot!
The Sharks have even things in Ottawa at 3-28 of the third.
Misa's seventh of a season from Tifoli and Dayharnay.
All even at 4.
But the senators would grind it out.
Slow things down.
Take it away from the Sharks.
And finally, they would take the 5-4 lead.
Sharks behind their own goal line.
Uh-oh.
Or loft.
Watch the puck bounce.
Now it comes back to Zubi.
Shoot, score!
That's Bafferson in front of an end.
Might have tipped that.
Zub put the puck in the air.
And it deflected past Rasquah.
And it is a 5-4 senators lead with 6-52 to play.
It was one of many goals in which the senators scored,
where they basically filled the lane over along the boards,
while the Sharks sent soft passes up either the left or the right side of the ice.
And it was almost as if it was telegraph for their sticks.
Yeah, absolutely.
They did a lot of that.
They just, they, that boardwork we were talking about where it's,
it's tough to get it off.
You're just kind of whacking at it.
There's, you're trying to get it off your toe.
This and that.
It just gets up.
And then it's kind of a nothing play.
It looks like it does a nice pass across from, uh, from Drew.
But then I think the puck was going to go a couple of feet wide.
And then, uh, oh, wait.
Oh, bad.
Yeah.
And then he went off his hand.
So, uh, went in.
Yeah, that's, it's annoying.
You know, it's annoying because, uh, it starts from nothing.
Uh, there's a nice pass in there.
But, um, two feet wide in the back of the net.
And, uh, that's a tough one for us, Jay.
So 13 await the time of what turned out to be the game winning goal.
Drake Batherson, his second goal of the game, 27th of a season,
assisted by Artyom Zube and Closieru.
After the shark's Dimitri Orlov lost control of the puck on the clear,
the soft play up the board.
So, that's where we were with six minutes and 52 seconds to play.
Ottawa would score twice more.
At 1450, Dylan Cousins put one in for his 24th of a year.
And again, it was Brady Kuchuk intercepting a clearing attempt on the boards.
Ridley Gregg can move.
He's down the right side, goes in with a backhand shot, hit the side of the net,
scooting behind the goal line there.
Mesa feeds it up the boards.
And that's corralling it on the right side.
It's Kuchuk into the slot.
Cousins scores.
Another soft play up the boards.
And the senators are reading that awfully well.
Brady Kuchuk sends it into the slot.
And Dylan Cousins gives Ottawa the 64 lead.
Now the sharks are officially in trouble at 1450 in the third period.
And then, Brady Kuchuk would put the puck into the empty net at 1743.
His 18th of a year, as he got by Maclin's Set-Abrini,
put the puck into the net, and the play finished with Set-Abrini,
smashing his stick and breaking it over the empty goal.
Net is empty to our right.
Shark Set-Abrini puts to Ecklin.
Now it's over to the near boards.
Back to Set-Abrini from Tiffany.
He walks into the circle, downloaded to Foley.
Throw us to the front of the net.
It's a save.
There's an empty net.
Amadeo's got it.
Sends it off the board.
Set-Abrini getting back.
But it's Brady Kuchuk getting underneath him.
He scores.
Senators 7, the sharks 4, the captain of the Ottawa Senators,
puts a dagger in the hearts of the visiting team from San Jose.
Two minutes, 17 seconds to go.
So mark that down at 1743.
Brady Kuchuk, who's been relatively quiet in this game,
gets his 18th of a season, picked up the assist on the turnover by Misha
to give the sense the two goal lead.
And now this empty netter for Kuchuk makes it the Senators'
7 and the sharks 4.
And that will put Laurent Bressois back in the goal for San Jose.
Final score.
Ottawa 7, the sharks 4.
Tough loss for the sharks to take.
They're now 32-27 in six as they lose in regulation.
The Senators win for the 34th time this season as they are 34-23 and 9 for 77 points.
That is a big, big win for Ottawa.
They beat Anaheim yesterday and they beat the San Jose sharks today in their own building.
The sharks will move on to take on the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.
They'll have the day off after flying there tonight.
And they will recharge their batteries and try to get back where they were in Montreal and Boston.
Once again, the final score.
Ottawa 7, San Jose 4.
That's it for our sharks incident replay.
This has been a presentation of the San Jose sharks audio network.
Thank you very much.
