NHL; Macklin Celebrini has career-best three-point game for San Jose Sharks against Los Angeles Kings
San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal during the third period of an NHL hockey game against the Los Angeles Kings, Monday, Nov. 25, 2024, in San Jose, Calif. SAN JOSE — San Jose Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky knew Macklin Celebrini’s skillset well before the former Boston University standoutCelebrini scored two of the Sharks’ five third-period goals, which is the most the team has scored in any third period since the 2016 playoffs.
Celebrini was held off the scoresheet Saturday in the Sharks’ 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday after Joe Thornton’s jersey retirement night at SAP Center. He had three shots on goal in over 20 minutes of ice time, but it sometimes felt like he was trying to do too much. This season will be an adjustment for Celebrini and Will Smith, who only played a combined 79 games at the college level last season. While Smith has been given development days, or games off, since the start of the season, Celebrini, like several other Sharks, has now played 11 games in 22 days.
“So I’m just staying positive, just keeping the energy. You’re going to have down days, but that’s what your teammates are there for, just to pick you up when you’re having those days.”The Sharks were without leading scorer Mikael Granlund on Monday for the first time this season, and his status for the team’s game against the Senators will not be known until Wednesday.
