Overview

  • Celebrini recorded a goal and an assist in a 2-1 win over the Jets, giving him 23 points in 15 games to lead the NHL.
  • He matched Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman for the most points by a teenager through his first 15 games of a season.
  • San Jose has won five of its past seven games and sits 6-6-3, currently two points shy of a playoff position.
  • Coach Ryan Warsofsky praised Celebrini’s leadership, saying he “drags guys into the fight” as the Sharks build their culture.
  • Hall of Famer Joe Thornton, who is hosting and mentoring Celebrini, said the center deserves a Team Canada Olympic chance and noted his progression from a minus-31 rookie to a plus-six this season.
