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.

The Ottawa Senators, missing injured defenceman Artem Zub, begin a west-coast trip against Macklin Celebrini and the San Jose Sharks. The Senators moved Adam Gaudette up to the first line to play alongside Tim Stutzle and Brady Tkachuk Monday. And, the journeyman responded with a goal.
