In overtime, both goaltenders made key saves, including Nedeljkovic stopping a one-timer from Roman Josi with nine seconds left. Celebrini then scored the shootout winner with a wrist shot on the glove side, securing the Sharks' victory. All four Sharks wins this season have come beyond regulation time.
