Overview

  • Macklin Celebrini scored unassisted at 3:47 of overtime and finished with a goal and two assists in a 6-5 win over the Minnesota Wild.
  • Michael Misa recorded his first NHL goal, extending a run to 11 straight Sharks goals with a teenager on the scoresheet, the second-longest such streak in NHL history.
  • William Eklund scored twice, Tyler Toffoli added a power-play marker for a 5-3 lead, and Yaroslav Askarov made 28 saves as Minnesota forced overtime before San Jose prevailed.
  • Celebrini now has 15 points in nine games and was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week following his standout road trip.
  • Despite the offensive uptick, the Sharks entered Monday last in goals allowed per game and gave up two power-play goals, with Adam Gaudette exiting with an upper-body issue ahead of Tuesday’s home game against the Kings.
