Canadian Tire Centre Set to Host Ottawa Senators and San Jose Sharks in NHL Showdown

As the Ottawa Senators prepare to face off against the San Jose Sharks at the Canadian Tire Centre, fans are eager to see if the home team can continue their recent trend of high-scoring games. The Senators have been showcasing a strong offensive front, as seen in their last game on December 24th against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Despite a challenging start, they managed to secure a win with an impressive five goals scored, although their powerplay opportunities remained uncapitalized.

The game prior on December 22nd saw the Senators fall short against Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena. Despite outshooting their opponents with 45 attempts and converting four times, it was not enough to overcome Colorado's six goals. The powerplay unit did manage one goal from six chances but ultimately conceded four shorthanded goals which proved costly.

Earlier on December 20th, in a smaller venue at Mullett Arena against Arizona Coyotes, Ottawa's performance was mixed. They started strong with three first-period goals but failed to maintain that momentum throughout the rest of the match. Their shooting percentage was better than previous games at nearly fourteen percent; however, they were unable to add any more points and lost by one goal.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for redemption for Ottawa as they look to improve upon their recent performances and capitalize on home-ice advantage. Fans can expect an energetic battle as both teams vie for victory.

Be sure not to miss this exciting matchup scheduled for January 13th at 21:00 GMT at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ or NBCS-CA channel 698.
