SAN JOSE, Calif. — Clayton Keller scored a power play goal with 43.8 seconds left and the Utah Hockey Club prevailed, defeating the San Jose Sharks 4-3 on Saturday night.

Michael Carcone tied it midway through the third period and then Utah won on a 4-on-3 play shortly after Cody Ceci was called for high-sticking.

Utah won the faceoff and Keller got the puck in the slot and beat Vitek Vanecek for his 10th goal of the season.

Dylan Guenther and Nick Schmaltz also scored for Utah. Karel Vejmelka made 19 saves.

Fabian Zetterlund gave San Jose a 3-2 lead on the power play early in the third period, but the Sharks couldn’t close out the game. Alexander Wennberg and Mikael Granlund also scored goals for San Jose. Vanecek made 36 saves.

Takeaways

Utah: Utah has won four of five games and has points in all five thanks to the comeback win.

Sharks: San Jose returned home after a 3-3 away game and had a lead early in the third period, but couldn’t equalize it. The Sharks have lost four of five games.

Key moment

Utah forward Kevin Stenlund sent San Jose rookie Macklin Celebrini into the boards with a hit from behind in the second period that did not result in a penalty, drawing the Sharks’ ire. Celebrini was able to stay in the game. Stenlund tripped over Celebrini in a preseason game, sending him into the boards in a fall and injuring Celebrini’s ankle.

Key statistics

Celebrini assisted on Zetterlund’s goal and has 20 points in his first 21 career games. The other 18-year-olds to do this in the last 30 seasons are Sidney Crosby (25 points), Ryan Nugent Hopkins (22) and Patrick Kane (22).
