"The stretch of 12 games in 25 days got off to an impressive start Saturday as the Sharks erased a two-goal third-period deficit before Tyler Toffoli scored at the 1:58 mark of overtime to lift San Jose to a thrilling 5-4 comeback win over the Dallas Stars before a sellout crowd of 17,435 at SAP Center. Trailing 4-2 after Mikko Rantanen's 18th goal of the season at the 7:53 mark of the third period, Toffoli and Adam Gaudette scored 5:33 apart to tie the game,"
"On a Sharks power play in overtime, Toffoli took a pass from William Eklund and one-timed a shot past Stars goalie Casey DeSmith for his 13th goal of the season. The first three Sharks goals came on the power play, with Macklin Celebrini assisting on goals by Alexander Wennberg and Toffoli to extend his point streak to 13 games. Toffoli's goal came with 10:32 left in regulation time and cut the Stars' lead to one."
