Celebrini scored one on a 35-foot slap shot that beat Kings goalie David Rittich 63 seconds into the third period for a 3-2 Sharks lead. He added another on a one-timer from near the faceoff dot at the 3:43 mark – and also assisted on Fabian Zetterlund’s second-period even-strength goal that tied the game 2-2.

Fabian Zetterlund, Alex Wennberg and Luke Kunin also scored, and Yaroslav Askarov made 22 saves in his first win with the Sharks (7-12-5), who scored five goals in the third period and ended a three-game skid. Will Smith and William Eklund each had two assists.

Timothy Liljegren, Alexander Wennberg and Luke Kunin also scored in the third period for the Sharks, who set a new season high for goals in a single game. Nico Sturm and Fabian Zetterlund also scored as the Sharks snapped a three-game losing streak and won for just the second time in eight games (2-3-3).
