Sharks Locker Room: Celebrini's Rise to Superstar
The San Jose Sharks' game against the Minnesota team was expected to be another story of blown leads and losses. However, Macklin Celebrini's impressive performance led to a 6-5 OT victory.
The Sharks initially dominated the first period, leading 2-0, but a high-sticking penalty by Vincent Iorio and an unforced error between Tyler Toffoli and Vincent Desharnais allowed the opposing team to score two goals.
"That was our own doing," said San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky. "That's one big lesson."
The same pattern repeated in the third period, but the Sharks managed to regain their lead. Despite the win, the team's tendency to make costly mistakes remains a concern in their quest for winning hockey.
