SAN JOSE — The Sharks’ Macklin Celebrini hit for a double and four points on Tuesday night as San Jose doubled up the Calgary Flames, 6-3.

Yaroslav Askarov made 27 saves in the win.

Over his last five games, Celebrini has four goals and 11 points.

“I thought for the most part, we controlled good moments of the game,” San Jose coach Ryan Warsofsky said. “At times, we complicate it a little bit, and we put ourselves on our heels. Our third period was pretty solid.”

 

Barclay Goodrow also scored a pair of goals for the Sharks.

“I think their players thought it was icing. I think [Ostapchuk] got a little piece of it, so they waved it off,” Goodrow said. “I don’t think those defensemen knew that, and the puck is just lying there in the slot.”

John Klingberg and Tyler Toffoli each added single markers for the Sharks.

Klingberg and Goodrow scored to give the Sharks a 2-0 lead in the first period.

Blake Coleman and Ryan Lomberg.replied for the Flames to knot the game, 2-2,

Goodrow’s double came in the final minute of the first period for a 3-2 lead to the Sharks headed to the middle frame.

After a scoreless second, Celebrini pushed the lead to 4-2 early in the third with his first.

“It’s kind of just a reaction. Graf made a good play on the wall to intercept it, and then just found me in the middle,” Celebrini said. “That’s all just kind of reactionary. It was a little lucky. It goes off my hip.”

Toffoli scored just past the midway point of the third for a 5-2 lead for San Jose.

“It’s really cool, and having the guys be happy for me as well goes a long way,” Toffoli said. “[I’m] assuming my dad’s going to be pumped about this one, so we’ll see what he has to say. On his birthday, too.”

Nazem Kadri scored for the Flames to make it 5-3, and Celebrini added his double when he hit an empty net for the 6-3 final.

Dustin Wolf made 20 saves in the loss.

“I didn’t like the chances we gave up early in the game to put ourselves in a hole. I liked how we came back,” Calgary coach Ryan Huska said. “Some of the plays we made were poor plays with the puck. They have a lot of team speed over there and we didn’t manage that tonight.”
