Linus Ullmark was the key to the Senators committing a case of highway robbery on Wednesday night. Adam Gaudette’s second goal of the game, and the club’s first shot of an ugly third period, helped the Senators avoid total disaster as Ottawa opened this three-game trip with a 4-3 win over the San Jose Sharks at the SAP Center.

Ullmark made 14 saves on 19 shots and the Senators lost 5-4 in overtime to the Flyers in a game that should have been theirs.
