SHARKS 6 PENGUINS 5 (OT)<\/p>\n
PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 John Klingberg capped off a frantic late rally by scoring his second goal of the game 2:57 into overtime to lift San Jose to an improbable victory over Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Klingberg\u2019s seventh of the season off a feed from Macklin Celebrini gave the Sharks their first victory in the franchise\u2019s 34-year history when trailing by four goals in the third.<\/p>\n
San Jose trailed 5-1 with less than 14 minutes to go. Klingberg and William Eklund scored to get the Sharks back in it, and Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli beat Pittsburgh goalie Arturs Silovs with the goaltender pulled to force overtime.<\/p>\n
Toffoli, whose tying goal came with 1:38 to play, finished with two goals and two assists. Celebrini had a goal and two assists to push his season point total to 44.<\/p>\n
Yaroslav Askarov withstood a second-period deluge from Pittsburgh and finished with 38 saves as San Jose finished a five-game road trip at 3-2.<\/p>\n
Sidney Crosby scored a goal and added an assist to move within two of Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux\u2019s franchise record for career points. Crosby beat Askarov in the first period for his 19th goal of the season and assisted on Bryan Rust\u2019s power-play goal in the second to push his career point total to 1,721.<\/p>\n
