Celebrini tallies another point, but Sharks’ winning streak ends in 7-3 loss to Lightning

“I think teams are starting to realize that we’re dangerous,” second-year coach Ryan Warsofsky said before Saturday’s home game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The perennial contenders, on track to make their ninth straight playoff appearance with the top goal margin in the Eastern Conference, provided the young team one of its toughest tests yet.
