Overview

  • Celebrini posted two goals and two assists in a 6-3 win over the Flames, becoming the quickest San Jose player ever to hit 50 points.
  • He is the third-fastest teenager in NHL history to reach 50 points, trailing only Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky, according to the Sharks’ PR staff.
  • His tally included a highlight spin-o-rama finish that deflected off his hip past goalie Dustin Wolf, and he later added an empty-netter.
  • Through 34 games he has 18 goals and 33 assists for 51 points, placing him third league-wide and within striking distance of Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid.
  • San Jose secured its 17th victory and sits in playoff position after two last-place seasons, with teammates and coach crediting Celebrini’s two-way play and leadership.
