Celebrini’s career-first moment leads Sharks past Red Wings

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks never seem to make it easy for themselves.

The Sharks took a tripping penalty late in the third period and gave up a game-tying power-play goal to Alex DeBrincat with 2:06 left in regulation time.

But that set up some overtime heroics by Macklin Celebrini, who scored just 46 seconds into the extra session to lead the Sharks to a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at SAP Center.

It was the first overtime goal of Celebrini’s brief NHL career.
