The Ottawa Senators have defeated the San Jose Sharks in a contest that required overtime to end it. Ottawa owns both teams’ first round pick in this years draft.
The game was a lose-lose for the Senators while also a meaningless game for the Sharks, as they don’t currently own their first round pick. Which was packaged to the Senators in the Erik Karlsson deal.
For the long-term success of this Ottawa Senators’ rebuild they need both of these teams to fall in the standings for a greater chance at the coveted prize at number one overall, Alexis Lafreniere.
