Celebrini Scores Twice, Including OT Winner, as Sharks Rally to Beat Canadiens 4-3
On Tuesday, Macklin Celebrini scored his second goal at 2:13 in overtime, lifting the San Jose Sharks to a 4-3 comeback victory over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.
Montreal held a two-goal lead after goals from Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield, but surrendered the advantage for the fourth time this season with Jakub Dobes in net.
Michael Misa and Tyler Toffoli scored to spark the Sharks' rally, while Celebrini added an assist. Canadiens defenceman Lane Hutson tied Henri Richard's record, tallying his 135th assist on Nick Suzuki's goal.
Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis started Dobes despite five or more goals allowed in each of his previous three starts. The 20-year-old Celebrini, receiving loud boos from the crowd, proved difficult for Montreal's defence to contain.
The Canadiens open a four-game road trip Friday against the Chicago Blackhawks, while the Sharks visit the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.
