Celebrini e Marchment raggiungono due importanti traguardi

I San Jose Sharks perdono per 3-2 ai rigori contro i Pittsburgh Penguins, dopo aver rimontato due reti di svantaggio nel terzo periodo grazie ai gol di Macklin Celebrini, autore del suo 200º punto in carriera, e Mason Marchment, che ha realizzato la sua 100ª rete nella NHL.
Come spesso accade, gli Sharks si ritrovano in svantaggio nel primo periodo. Pittsburgh passa avanti dopo nove minuti di gioco con una rete del difensore Samuel Girard.
Nonostante il vantaggio degli ospiti, la partita rimane equilibrata e il periodo centrale termina senza reti.

Gli Sharks rimontano nel terzo periodo

Dopo quattro minuti dall’inizio dell’ultima frazione, i Penguins raddoppiano con Ben Kindel, che segna in superiorità numerica.
Negli ultimi dieci minuti arrivano però i due lampi dei San Jose Sharks. Celebrini accorcia le distanze su assist di Michael Kesselring e Will Smith, raggiungendo così quota 200 punti in carriera nella NHL.
Meno di cinque minuti più tardi, San Jose completa la rimonta e trova il gol del 2-2 con Marchment, servito perfettamente da Celebrini. Per l’attaccante canadese si tratta della 100ª rete della sua carriera nella NHL.

Kindel decide la sfida agli shootout

La partita prosegue all’overtime, durante il quale entrambe le squadre costruiscono alcune occasioni senza riuscire a trovare il gol della vittoria.
Si arriva così agli shootout. A differenza della partita precedente contro gli Islanders, i tre rigoristi degli Sharks non riescono a segnare. Kindel realizza invece il primo tentativo di Pittsburgh, firmando l’unico centro della serie e consegnando la vittoria ai Penguins.
Il prossimo impegno degli Sharks sarà nella notte italiana tra sabato e domenica, quando San Jose affronterà in trasferta gli Utah Mammoth.

ENGLISH VERSION

Celebrini and Marchment reach major career milestones

The San Jose Sharks lost 3-2 in a shootout against the Pittsburgh Penguins after erasing a two-goal deficit in the third period. Macklin Celebrini recorded his 200th career NHL point, while Mason Marchment scored the 100th goal of his NHL career.
As has often happened this season, the Sharks fell behind in the first period. Pittsburgh opened the scoring nine minutes into the game on a goal by defenseman Samuel Girard.
The game remained evenly played despite Pittsburgh’s lead, and neither team found the back of the net in the second period.

San Jose rallies in the third period

The Penguins doubled their lead four minutes into the third period when Ben Kindel scored on the power play.
The Sharks responded with two goals in the final 10 minutes. Celebrini cut the deficit in half off assists from Michael Kesselring and Will Smith, reaching the 200-point milestone in his NHL career.
Less than five minutes later, San Jose completed the comeback. Celebrini set up Marchment for the tying goal, which was also the 100th of Marchment’s NHL career.

Kindel scores the shootout winner

Both teams generated scoring opportunities in overtime, but neither was able to find the game-winning goal.
Unlike their previous game against the Islanders, all three Sharks shooters were denied in the shootout. Kindel converted Pittsburgh’s first attempt for the only goal of the tiebreaker, giving the Penguins the victory.
The Sharks will return to action Saturday night when they visit the Utah Mammoth.
