Celebrini’s OT goal lifts Sharks past Red Wings


Tyler Toffoli tied it 3-3 with 42 seconds left in the period, scoring with a one-timer over Talbot’s blocker from the right hash marks.

Luke Kunin gave the Sharks a 4-3 lead at 6:18 of the third period with a wrist shot blocker side from the right circle.

DeBrincat tied it 4-4 with a power-play goal at 17:54. He scored with a backhand near the left post after his cross-crease pass was blocked by Mario Ferraro.

“I think after we scored we wanted to keep going,” Larkin said. “We got it to overtime and we got the point. We wanted to get the extra point, and we didn’t do that.”

NOTE: Sharks goalie Vitek Vanecek did not dress after sustaining an upper-body injury during a 4-3 shootout loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. Warsofsky didn’t have an update on whether Vanecek will travel with the Sharks on their upcoming two-game road trip, which begins Wednesday at the Dallas Stars.
