The San Jose Sharks ended a month\u2019s worth of frustration on Thursday as Will Smith scored at the 1:38 mark of overtime to give his team a thrilling 6-5 win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n
Macklin Celebrini recorded his second career NHL hat trick and finished with five points, as he assisted on Smith\u2019s second goal of the game, which set off a wild celebration.<\/p>\n
Celebrini stole the puck from defensemen Braden Schneider in the corner to the left of the Rangers, took a stride, and fed Smith with a cross-ice pass for a one-timer that beat Igor Shesterkin.<\/p>\n
Celebrini scored twice in the first period and completed the hat trick with 8.3 seconds left in the second period, taking a pass from Will Smith and beating Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin to tie the game 4-4. Smith then scored his first goal of the season, right after a Sharks power play had expired, with 13:29 left in regulation time to give the Sharks a 5-4 lead.<\/p>\n
But Taylor Raddysh completed his own hat-trick with 8:10 left to go in the third period to tie the game 5-5,<\/p>\n
Center Adam Gaudette also scored for the Sharks, William Eklund had three assists, and goalie Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 22 of 27 shots as the Sharks fell to 0-5-2 on the season and remained the NHL\u2019s last winless team.<\/p>\n
Celebrini\u2019s first career hat trick came at the end of his rookie season on April 9 against the Minnesota Wild. He also had two assists in that game in an 8-7 loss to the host Wild.<\/p>\n
With his performance on Thursday, Celebrini, 19, became just the third NHL player in the past 32 years with multiple hat tricks as a teenager.<\/p>\n
