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.

"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: Celebrini saves Sharks from defeat.
