LOS ANGELES — – William Eklund<\/a> scored 3:08 into overtime, Macklin Celebrini<\/a> had the tying goal and two assists to extend his point streak to 12 games, and the San Jose Sharks<\/a> defeated the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> 4-3 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Celebrini evened the score at 3 with 1:07 remaining in regulation. He deked his way past Warren Foegele<\/a> and sent a wrist shot through traffic that beat goalie Darcy Kuemper<\/a> through the legs for his 24th goal this season. The 19-year-old center has nine goals and 15 assists during his point streak.<\/p>\n

Celebrini is tied for the third-longest point streak by a teenager in NHL history – joining Joe Sakic in 1988-89, Jimmy Carson in 1987-88 and Wayne Gretzky in 1979-80 – and the third-longest point streak in Sharks history.<\/p>\n

Tyler Toffoli<\/a> and Adam Gaudette<\/a> each had a goal, Yaroslav Askarov<\/a> made 23 saves and the Sharks won for the fifth time in six games.<\/p>\n

Alex Turcotte<\/a> and Kevin Fiala<\/a> each had a goal and an assist for the Kings, who still haven’t won three straight games since winning four in a row in mid-November. Alex Laferriere<\/a> also scored and Kuemper made 24 saves.<\/p>\n

Laferriere put the Kings ahead with 2:10 left in the third period, but they couldn’t prevent another sensational play by the electric Celebrini.<\/p>\n

The Kings were without four forwards, including stalwart center and team captain Anze Kopitar<\/a>, who is day-to-day after sustaining a lower-body injury in a win over Minnesota on Monday. Those absences led Los Angeles to play with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.<\/p>\n

Sharks center Ty Dellandrea<\/a> is week-to-week after sustaining a lower-body injury against Columbus on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
