Caufield, who missed Montreal\u2019s 3-2 win at the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday with the flu, put the Canadiens up 1-0 at 7:21 of the first period. He took a cross-ice pass from Juraj Slafkovsky in the neutral zone and drove the left side before snapping a shot past Nedeljkovic\u2019s glove from the left face-off dot for his career-high 38th goal.<\/p>\n
Celebrini tied it 1-1 at 13:12. Graf rushed up the left side from his own zone before making a backhand pass to Celebrini, who scored on a wrist shot past Dobes stick side from the top of the left face-off circle.<\/p>\n
Mario Ferraro put the Sharks up 2-1 at 11:56 of the second period when he scored on a wrist shot from the point through traffic that sailed over Dobes\u2019 right shoulder.<\/p>\n
Graf made it 3-1 at 16:20 after Celebrini\u2019s shot from the point struck his leg in front of the net and went in glove side on Dobes.<\/p>\n
Suzuki cut it to 3-2 at 17:38 when he took a drop pass from Slafkovsky and beat Nedeljkovic with a wrist shot from the top of the left face-off circle.<\/p>\n
Celebrini scored into an empty net with 2:03 remaining for his 35th goal and 94th of the season, making it a 4-2 final.<\/p>\n
