Macklin Celebrini aims to continue blazing start as Sharks host Jets
Macklin Celebrini will look to continue his torrid start to the season when the San Jose Sharks play host to the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night. Celebrini, the 2024 first overall pick, has seven goals and nine assists over his last nine games and entered Thursday's action tied with Connor McDavid for the league lead with 21 points in 14 games.
San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini is accomplishing things that only Hall of Famers Wayne Gretzky and Bryan Trottier did before him.
Smith’s first goal of the game, and his season, came in the third period, right after a Sharks power play had expired. Immediately after a William Eklund shot attempt from close range, Smith controlled the loose puck and scored with 13:29 left in regulation time to give the Sharks a 5-4 lead.
One, with his performances during the Sharks’ four-game road trip, Celebrini had breathed new life into the team’s season after a dismal start. Two, with his recent hot streak, Celebrini, 19, was third in the NHL with 15 points in nine games. With 10 points in his last four games, Celebrini on Monday was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week.
The Winnipeg Jets (9-4) visit the San Jose Sharks (5-6-3) at SAP Center at San Jose on Friday, Nov. 7 at 10 p.m. ET, airing on ESPN+. The matchup features two of the NHL's best skaters in Mark Scheifele (nine goals and 11 assists) and Macklin Celebrini (eight goals and 13 assists).
