Graf Nets OT Winner as Sharks Edge Wild for Fourth Straight Win

The result underscores a surge powered by Askarov’s form and Celebrini’s playmaking.

Overview

  • Collin Graf scored 2:41 into overtime to cap San Jose’s 2-1 comeback, after Will Smith tied it on a third-period power play.
  • Macklin Celebrini assisted on both goals, extending his scoring run and reinforcing his standout start as a teenager.
  • Yaroslav Askarov made 28 saves in an unexpected start, stepping in after Alex Nedeljkovic departed to address a personal matter.
  • The victory pushes the Sharks’ win streak to four and their point streak to seven, with the road trip continuing Thursday in Calgary.
  • William Eklund was activated from injured reserve and returned on the second line, as Ethan Cardwell was sent to the AHL and Timothy Liljegren was a healthy scratch.
