After giving up a game-tying goal early in the third period, the Sharks saw Cole Caufield carry the puck into the Sharks’ zone, dangle around Macklin Celebrini and lift a shot high over the shoulder of Alexandar Georgiev at the 3:21 mark of overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 win at the Bell Centre.

The Sharks allowed consecutive goals to Brady Tkachuk, Stützle, and David Perron as their third-period foibles continued in what became their eighth straight loss. Perron’s goal at the 8:31 mark of the third period, which became the game-winner, came after the Sharks made a bad line change.
