Cody Ceci scored with 24.2 seconds left in the third period to lift the San Jose Sharks to a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday before a sellout crowd at SAP Center. Ceci took a pass from Alexander Wennberg at the point and fired a shot that got past Devils goalie Jacob Markstrom for his third goal of the season.

In December, the Sharks gave up the tying or winning goal in the final three minutes of the third period four times. It happened most recently against the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 21, when the Sharks allowed a tying goal to Mattias Ekholm with 18 seconds left in regulation before losing 3-2 in overtime.
