With goalie Vitek Vanecek held out of the game for trade-related reasons, the Sharks got third period goals from William Eklund, Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith and Tyler Toffoli to help seal a 6-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center.
Fabian Zetterlund scored in the fourth round of the shootout as the San Jose Sharks battled back from a two-goal deficit in the third period to stun the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Monday night and snap an eight-game slide.
The San Jose Sharks earned an unlikely and dramatic comeback victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. The Sharks erased a two-goal deficit in the third period, killed off a penalty in overtime, and saw Tyler Toffoli and Fabian Zetterlund both score goals in the shootout to earn a dramatic 3-2 win over the Leafs at Scotiabank Arena.
Celebrini scored once Tuesday, a third period goal assisted by Shakir Mukhamadullin and Will Smith (a sentence Sharks fans would like to hear for years to come) but could have scored one or two more if not for some bad luck in the first period.
