Vladimir Tarasenko scored the game-winning goal with 3.3 seconds left in regulation as the Ottawa Senators beat the San Jose Sharks 5-4 on Saturday afternoon.

Claude Giroux, Thomas Chabot, Brady Tkachuk, and Drake Batherson scored for the Senators. Joonas Korpisalo made 14 saves. 

The Sharks went down 2-0 early but responded with three unanswered goals from Anthony Duclair, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, and Kevin Labanc. Mackenzie Blackwood was on top of his game as he made many big saves. He finished with 36 saves.

The Sharks were outshot 41-18 and were held in the game by their goaltender. The defensive marking and communication was not where it needed to be and allowed the Senators to have the majority of possession time in their offensive zone. 

Claude Giroux gets the game's first goal. There was a big netmouth scramble, and Giroux found the puck in a dangerous area.

Thomas Chabot doubles the Senators lead with his first goal of the season. Ottawa has hemmed in the Sharks for the entire first period. Shots were 6-1 in favor of Ottawa. 

Anthony Duclair scores a big momentum-shifting goal to cut the Senator's lead in half. Duclair spent the 2018-20 seasons with the Senators. It is his second goal in his last 17 games. 

Marc-Edouard Vlasic scores his first goal of the season after Duclair gives him a terrific fake shot and slap-pass.

Kevin Labanc finishes a give-and-go with Mario Ferraro to give the Sharks their first lead of the game. They've now scored three unanswered goals. 

The back-and-forth game continues as Brady Tkachuk scores his 18th goal of the season to tie the game at three. 

Blackwood makes a save but gives up a big rebound right to Drake Batherson, who tucks it. It was Batherson's 15th goal of the season.

Filip Zadina scores his first goal in 10 games with 3:04 left in the third to tie the game at four. The Sharks finally got some offensive zone time and capitalized on the opportunity. 

Tarasenko scores the game-winning goal with just seconds left in the third period.
