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.

Macklin Celebrini and Timothy Liljegren combined to score three goals in the opening 3:43 of the third period and the San Jose Sharks ended a three-game losing streak with a 7-2 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Monday.

Fabian Zetterlund, Alexander 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.
