A week after beating the Ottawa Senators on the road, the San Jose Sharks will look to repeat the feat in front of their home crowd on Saturday at SAP Center. The Senators are battling injuries and look vulnerable.
Ottawa has had bad luck with injuries all year. Thursday’s matchup against the L.A. Kings marked the first time this season the Senators had all their regular defensemen available. But while the blue line has started to look healthy, the team has lost several forwards.
After a near-perfect start to the season, Ottawa has lost five of its last eight games. With No. 1 goaltender Linus Ullmark out of commission, the team has allowed 20 goals over the past four contests.
The Sharks have been inconsistent early in the season, but they are currently enjoying their best run. With Macklin Celebrini leading the offense, Ryan Warsofsky’s team has a 3-2-0 record over the last five games.
San Jose is stacked with exciting offensive talent and can always score. The key for them is keeping things tidy in the defensive zone. Having allowed only two goals in back-to-back games, confidence must be growing in the camp.

Our San Jose Sharks vs Ottawa Senators Prediction
After a strong start to the season, the Senators started life without Ullmark against San Jose with a 6-2 defeat. They are clearly a different team without the former Vezina Trophy winner, as the defense has been hemorrhaging goals since last week.
The Sharks have performed well over their last five games, shaking off some early-season jitters. The team is full of goals and has a promising goalie in Yaroslav Askarov, who made 41 saves against the Senators last week.
Our prediction for San Jose Sharks vs. Ottawa Senators: Sharks to win.
