The Ottawa Senators ended their five-game losing streak with a much-needed 5-3 victory over the struggling San Jose Sharks. Despite a rocky start, the Senators rallied in the third period, scoring three goals to secure the win. Brady Tkachuk, Shane Pinto, and Josh Norris returned to the lineup, significantly impacting the game. Tkachuk tied the game on a power play, while Tim Stutzle netted his 19th goal of the season shortly after. Michael Amadio sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.

The Sharks, winless in their last eight games, initially led 2-1 after two periods, but couldn’t withstand the Senators’ comeback. Goalie Linus Ullmark made 34 saves for Ottawa, earning his first win since December 19. The Senators aim to build on this momentum as they face the Washington Capitals next.
