Klingberg scored two goals, one on the power play and the other the overtime winner, in Saturday's 6-5 victory over Pittsburgh.

With the Sharks down 5-1 in the third period, Klingberg started the biggest late-game comeback in Sharks' history by snapping a shot past Arturs Silovs from the slot. The veteran defenseman then deked past Sidney Crosby at the Pittsburgh blue line and worked a slick give-and-go with Macklin Celebrini in OT to produce the winner. Klingberg has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, racking up four goals and seven points during that heater. His recent offensive surge has accounted for half his 14 points through 24 games this season.
