Macklin Celebrini Ties for League Lead After Sharks Victory
San Jose, California — Macklin Celebrini is not experiencing a sophomore slump. The San Jose Sharks forward continues to shine, helping his team secure a 6-1 victory against the Seattle Kraken on November 5. After this game, Celebrini is tied for first in points in the NHL, matching Connor McDavid with 21 points, including 8 goals and 13 assists.
“Sophomore slump? Never heard of it,” tweeted the official San Jose Sharks account, celebrating Celebrini’s impressive start to the season.
Celebrini achieved another milestone in the game against Seattle by becoming the fastest teenager to reach 20 points since Sidney Crosby did it during the 2006-07 season. With this performance, he solidifies his status as one of the league’s rising stars.
His recent achievement highlights his skill, especially after a strong game where he logged his fourth outing this season with more than three points. At just 19 years old, Celebrini is averaging a point per game in his career so far, totaling 84 points with 33 goals and 51 assists over 84 games.
“With three points tonight, we can see Macklin’s future in this league is bright,” tweeted B/R Open Ice. Fans are eager to see what he will accomplish next as he continues to impress on the ice.
As the Sharks look to maintain momentum, celebrations for Celebrini are only just beginning. Sharks fans can get tickets to watch him play live this season at SAP Center.
