Macklin Celebrini Nets OT Hat Trick, Joins Gretzky and Crosby in Sharks Win

The 19-year-old’s surge has become the focal point of San Jose’s revival.

Overview

  • Celebrini scored on a power play 2:52 into overtime to seal a 3-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth after a too-many-men penalty on Utah.
  • The rookie reached 30 points in San Jose’s first 20 games, joining Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby as the only teenagers to hit that mark in that span.
  • He set a Sharks record for most points through 20 games, surpassing the previous mark held by Erik Karlsson.
  • Utah’s JJ Peterka scored twice in the third period to erase a 2-0 deficit before Celebrini completed his hat trick in overtime.
  • Yaroslav Askarov made 24 saves and continues a strong run, while teams increasingly shadow Celebrini as San Jose leans heavily on his production.
