Briefly

Kings lose late lead and are defeated by Sharks
"Celebrini evened the score at 3 with 1:07 remaining in regulation. He deked his way past Warren Foegele and sent a wrist shot through traffic that beat goalie Darcy Kuemper through the legs for his 24th goal this season. The 19-year-old center has nine goals and 15 assists during his point streak. 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 -"
"Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette each had a goal, Yaroslav Askarov made 23 saves and the Sharks won for the fifth time in six games. Alex Turcotte and Kevin Fiala 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 also scored and Kuemper made 24 saves."
"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. The Kings were without four forwards, including stalwart center and team captain Anze Kopitar, who is day-to-day after sustaining a lower-body injury in a win over Minnesota on Monday. Those absences led the Kings to play with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Sharks center Ty Dellandrea is week-to-week after sustaining a lower-body injury against Columbus on Tuesday."
Macklin Celebrini tied the game at 3 with 1:07 remaining, deked past Warren Foegele and scored his 24th goal, extending a 12-game point streak. William Eklund scored 3:08 into overtime to complete a 4-3 San Jose victory. Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette each scored, and Yaroslav Askarov made 23 saves as the Sharks won five of six games. Alex Turcotte, Kevin Fiala and Alex Laferriere scored for Los Angeles, and Darcy Kuemper made 24 saves. The Kings were missing four forwards, including captain Anze Kopitar, and played with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Sharks center Ty Dellandrea is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
