The San Jose Sharks fell 3-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a shootout on Wednesday, despite a late comeback effort. Macklin Celebrini scored his eighth goal of the season with 8:28 left in regulation to bring the Sharks within one.
Celebrini then assisted Mason Marchment's tying goal with 4:11 remaining, sending the announced sellout crowd of 17,435 at SAP Center into a frenzy. Sharks goalie Yaroslav Askarov was strong, making 33 saves.
Earlier in the second period, an apparent tying goal by Ivar Stenberg was disallowed after video review, as he batted the puck into the net with his stick. The Penguins had taken a 1-0 lead in the first period on a goal by defenseman Samuel Girard.
In the shootout, Sharks skaters Celebrini, Will Smith, and Ivar Stenberg all failed to score against Penguins goalie Sergei Murashov, who made 34 saves. Ben Kindel ultimately scored the only shootout goal to secure the win for Pittsburgh.
