Sharks Locker Room: Celebrini Going From Rookie to Superstar?
The San Jose Sharks were on the verge of blowing a third-period lead, but Macklin Celebrini saved the day with a 6-5 OT victory.
Despite dominating the first period 2-0, the Sharks' lead was short-lived. A high-sticking penalty by Vincent Iorio led to a Marcus Johansson power play goal, and an unforced error between Tyler Toffoli and Vincent Desharnais resulted in a 2-on-1 Marco Rossi strike.
"That was our own doing," said San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky. "That's one big lesson."
The same pattern repeated itself in the third period, but the Sharks managed to regain their lead. Author's summary: Sharks win 6-5 in overtime.
