Count out the San Jose Sharks at your own peril.

San Jose erased a four-goal, third-period deficit for the first time in franchise history and won in overtime to stun the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. It took the Sharks just under 11 minutes to score all four goals.

John Klingberg potted the decisive marker off a pass from Macklin Celebrini.

But how did the Sharks even get to overtime? Here's every goal from their miraculous comeback.

Klingberg, who fittingly capped the win in overtime, got the party started with a five-on-three power-play goal with 12:27 left in regulation.

The comeback effort seemed futile for almost seven minutes until William Eklund buried a rebound with 5:41 to go.

Of course, Celebrini had to get in on the fun. With an empty net, the 19-year-old scored his 16th goal of the campaign to put the pressure on with 2:28 remaining.

Just 50 seconds later, it was a tied hockey game. Tyler Toffoli, who opened the scoring in the first period, pounced on a loose puck to complete the four-goal comeback in 10:49.

With the Sharks' heroic effort, they leapfrog the Edmonton Oilers in the standings and move into the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference for the time being.
