"It took overtime and a Herculean effort by both Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, but the most important thing is that even when the team lost its lead late in the third period, the Sharks battled back to win and beat the New York Rangers 6-5 in overtime. Better yet, the Sharks put six goals past Igor Shesterkin, who, going into the night, had not allowed more than two goals in a game all season."
"Celebrini's first goal of the hat trick was his ugliest. A shot on the net that ping ponged off of the Rangers in front of the net and past Shesterkin. It was the kind of luck the Sharks needed for the night. His second one, though, was all skill. A goal in the waning seconds of the first period that made Shesterkin pop up and take notice."
The San Jose Sharks defeated the New York Rangers 6-5 in overtime after erasing a late third-period deficit. Macklin Celebrini recorded a hat trick, combining a fortunate bounce, a skilled late-first-period goal, and another tying score after the Rangers took the lead. Will Smith provided a significant effort alongside Celebrini. Igor Shesterkin allowed six goals despite having given up no more than two in any previous game this season. The GameScore Impact Card shows Celebrini dominated the offensive zone and held possession enough that he rarely needed to focus on defense.
