What. A. Comeback.
The San Jose Sharks stormed back from a 5–1 third-period deficit to stun the Penguins 6–5 in overtime at PPG Paints Arena. John Klingberg scored the game-winner—his second of the night—off a beautiful setup from Macklin Celebrini, who finished with a goal and two assists.
Tyler Toffoli also had a massive night with two goals and two assists, while William Eklund and Collin Graf chipped in with multi-point games. San Jose scored five straight goals, including two with the goalie pulled, to tie it up in the final minutes and steal it in OT.
Pittsburgh had goals from Crosby, Rust, and Mantha, but couldn’t close it out. That’s now three blown third-period leads in four games for the Pens—who are spiraling despite strong starts.
This game will go down as one of the biggest comebacks in Sharks history.
Did San Jose just prove something tonight—or did Pittsburgh just fall apart again? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Now I know why we won. Two of our players go down cuz the pens think they can outmuscle and hurt us? Thats how we beat Vegas in that comeback 1st round of the playoffs.
Same scenario. But with some blood cuz Vegas are misfits for a reason!! Let that be a lessen to the other teams out there. If you hurt our players, we will hurt you on the scoreboard!!
That didn't disappoint in that game. I didnt even know players got injured until I saw the postgame and some footage of Smith getting smacked in the boards!!
You can't do this, without consequences!! And surely enough, we made the pens pay for their mistake to injure our players!!!
When you piss off the Sharks. We can be down 6-0 shit. We will come back and whoop ya!!!😂😂😂😂
We always think Klingberg is slow. But this is a different player now. Coming back from injury. He's more physical, and speeding the net and taking more shots then I ever seen him do before. I feel he wants to earn his spot here next season being on a one year deal. Its almost never guaranteed he will stay. Cuz lots will be on the trade block and he will be one of them, like Granlund, if he keeps playing like this!!! Im satisfied with him as of now.
I would like to thank Celebrini for helping me find this channel 😅
Such an amazing game!! Let’s go Sharks!
