New York was better in the second period.
Mika Zibanejad made it 3-2 with a power-play goal at 4:04 of the second period. Juuso Parssinen tied it 3-3 at 6:47. Raddysh scored an unassisted short-handed goal on a 2-on-1 rush at 12:10 to give New York a 4-3 lead.
“Urgency,” Miller said. “It’s a simple game.”
But Celebrini again scored in the last 10 seconds of a period, this time with a one-timer from the left circle at 19:54 to complete his hat trick and tie the game 4-4.
“It’s a lack of awareness, situational play, managing the game the right way,” Sullivan said of allowing goals late in the period. “Controlling those situations is how you win. We obviously have to learn how to win.”
The teams traded goals in the third period, but when the Sharks needed a play in overtime to get their first win, it was again Celebrini and Smith connecting to make it happen.
“I think those two in particular, obviously, the numbers and what they did on the scoresheet is impressive, but they’re doing other things we need them to do; winning pucks, putting pucks behind teams, not turning over as many pucks as they were earlier, in the first year,” Warsofsky said. “So, they’re learning, they’re getting better, they’re getting more comfortable. Obviously, they put on a show tonight.”
NOTES: Sharks defenseman Nick Leddy sustained an upper-body injury in the first period and did not return. Warsofsky said he was being evaluated. … Rangers forward Matt Rempe also left the game in the first period after a fight with Ryan Reaves at 5:55. He did not return and Sullivan said he was being evaluated for an upper-body injury.
