SAN JOSE — Vitek Vanecek made 49 saves for the San Jose Sharks in a 2-1 overtime win against the Columbus Blue Jackets at SAP Center on Tuesday.

Alex Wennberg won it for San Jose at 3:11 of overtime. He skated through the neutral zone, cut between two Blue Jackets defenders just inside the blue line, and made another move around Zach Werenski in the high slot before beating Elvis Merzlikins glove side with a wrist shot.

Jack Thompson scored his first NHL goal for the Sharks (4-8-2), who have won four of five. Macklin Celebrini had three shots in 17:06 of ice time in his return after missing the previous 12 games with a hip injury.

Kirill Marchenko scored, and Merzlikins made 25 saves for the Blue Jackets (5-5-2), who have lost three in a row.

Carl Grundstrom appeared to have given the Sharks a 1-0 lead at 7:54 of the second period, but the call was reversed after the Blue Jackets challenged the play for offside.

Thompson, who was playing in his 10th NHL game, did give San Jose a 1-0 lead at 18:49. He scored on a one-timer from the left circle off a cross-ice pass from Will Smith four seconds after a power play expired.

The assist was Smith’s first in the NHL (11th game).

Marchenko tied it 1-1 at 9:17 of the third period. He got the rebound of Damon Severson’s slap shot, moved the puck to his forehand, and tucked a shot past the left pad of Vanecek.

The goal came on Columbus’ 45th shot of the game.
