Adam Gaudette<\/a> scored an empty-net goal at 19:56 for the 7-5 final.<\/p>\n

Graf tied the game 1-1 at 15:32 with a backhand tap-in at the left post off a pass from Smith.<\/p>\n

“He’s just a really, really smart player. I’ve said a number of times. The way he thinks the game,” Celebrini said of Graf. “His stick, he has such a great stick, turning over pucks and just making those little plays that maybe you guys don’t even notice. He’s just a great player and really smart.”<\/p>\n

Phillip Danault<\/a> gave the Canadiens a 2-1 lead at 5:09 of the second period, deflecting Matheson\u2019s shot from the left point.<\/p>\n

Alexander Wennberg<\/a>\u00a0put the Sharks up 4-2 just 25 seconds later with a wrist shot from the slot at 18:48.<\/p>\n

“A couple turnovers cost us tonight,” Canadiens forward Josh Anderson<\/a>\u00a0said. “We battled back as a team. Look at a few things the next few days and get back to work.”<\/p>\n

The Sharks went up 5-2 on a power-play goal from Smith, who tapped in\u00a0Celebrini\u2019s pass from the right circle at the left post at 3:29 of the third period.<\/p>\n

NOTES:\u00a0Celebrini recorded his fifth career game with at least four points, passing Jimmy Carson<\/a> (four) for the fourth-most by a teenager in League history, behind\u00a0Wayne Gretzky<\/a>\u00a0(14), Crosby (eight) and Dale Hawerchuk<\/a> (seven).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adam Gaudette scored an empty-net goal at 19:56 for the 7-5 final.
