William Eklund scored the game-winning goal in overtime as the San Jose Sharks won 4-3 on Wednesday.

Macklin Celebrini got his third point of the night as he fed Eklund on a two-on-one for the winning goal in the extra period. Celebrini extended his point streak to 12 during the game.

Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette scored for the Sharks, who have won five of their past six games. Yaroslav Askarov made 23 saves, and Alexander Wennberg stayed hot with two assists for the 400th and 401st points of his NHL career.

Kevin Fiala had a goal and an assist for the Kings. Both teams came into the game tied with 45 points and occupied the wild-card spots in the Western Conference. Alex Laferriere and Alex Turcotte also scored for LA, and Darcy Kuemper made 24 saves.

Celebrini’s point streak now at 12 games ties Jonathan Cheechoo (12 in 2005-06) and Rob Gaudreau (12 in 1992-93) for the third-longest point streak in Sharks history. He trails Erik Karlsson (14 in 2022-23) and Mikael Granlund (13 in 2023-24).

The Sharks scored two power-play goals, which is encouraging given their lengthy struggles throughout parts of the season.

Toffoli put the Sharks up 1-0 with a power play goal at 4:10 of the second period. Celebrini took a shot from the point, and Alexander Wennberg gave Toffoli a no-look, through-the-legs pass for the open goal.

Turcotte tied the game 1-1 at 11:34. Kevin Fiala’s shot from the middle rebounded to the right of Askarov, and Turcotte wrapped the puck into the open net.

Gaudette put the Sharks back ahead 2-1 with a power play goal at 5:38 of the third period. Timothy Liljegren blasted a one-timer from the point that Gaudette deflected by the blocker of Kuemper.

Fiala quickly tied the game 2-2 1:04 later after a puck bounced hard off the backboards in front of the net.

Laferriere tipped in Joel Edmundson’s blast from the point at 17:50 to give the Kings a 3-2 lead.

Celebrini tied the game 3-3 with 67 seconds left in the third period. Celebrini dangled a defender after keeping the puck in, then went five-hole for the goal.
