Former Sharks on opponent: none

Sharks had a couple of mental errors, were burned by a (bad) goal review, and lost in the shootout to the Senators. Win streak ended.

After a day off the ice, and an evening celebrating the team’s 25 years, it’s back to business and heading off to the desert for the first meeting of the season between the Sharks and the Coyotes, with the dads (or brothers).  Ben Smith was put on waivers Wednesday and with either report to his new team, or the AHL Barracuda; that move was made so that Zubrus could be activated from the IR for the game.  (Torres is still on conditioning stint in the AHL, but had a set back after playing back-to-back games on the road over the weekend.)

The Coyotes are coming off a 1-2 loss to the Sabres on Monday, their third straight loss. This puts them in a three-way tie for 2nd in the division with the Sharks and Canucks. But they’ll be celebrating tonight: captain Shane Doan’s 380th goal, which gives him the franchise title.

Jones likely to start for the Sharks.

Update: Smith clears waivers.
