Mikael Granlund had two assists and William Eklund added an assist to extend his point streak to a career-long five games.

“Just a good performance against a good team,� Sharks coach David Quinn said. “I don’t care what that team’s record is. They’re good. They’ve got a lot of talent. They’re well-coached. They’re a challenge.�

Tim Stutzle scored a power-play goal for Ottawa, which lost its seventh straight game despite outshooting San Jose 32-21.

“I wasn’t happy with the first period, but I thought after the first period we came out and competed,� Senators interim coach Jacques Martin said. “Bottom line, the difference was special teams. They got two power-play goals, we got one power-play goal.�

Bordeleau scored with the man advantage 6:24 into the first period to give San Jose a 1-0 lead.

The Senators tied it midway through the second on Stutzle's goal.

“Just joy,� he said of his first victory. “Something I dreamt of my entire life. It was close in Dallas (on March 2) and kind of came into the same situation this time with a 2-1 lead coming into the third. I think the guys played great in front of me.�

Joonas Korpisalo made 19 saves in the loss.

The Sharks improved to 5-0-1 in their last six home games against the Senators.

“It’s not that we’ve been playing terrible hockey,� Stutzle said. “I think it’s just not good enough. We’ve got to be better than that, myself included.�
