Sharks Rally to 4-3 Win Over Ducks on Celebrini's 4 Points

San Jose, Calif. Macklin Celebrini scored a late tying goal and set up the game-winner in a four-point performance as the San Jose Sharks rallied to defeat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 on Wednesday night.

With less than two minutes remaining in the third period, the 19-year-old Celebrini evened the score at 3-3, firing a shot past Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal at 13:39. Moments later, he assisted on Alexander Wennberg's tip-in with 31 seconds left to secure the victory. Celebrini's two goals and two assists marked his 17th multi-point game of three or more points this season, placing him second among teenage players in NHL history behind Wayne Gretzky's 19 such games in 1979-80.

The performance pushed Celebrini's season totals to 40 goals and 105 points, surpassing Erik Karlsson's franchise-record 101 points from 2022-23 for the second-highest single-season mark in Sharks history. Only Joe Thornton's 114 points in 2006-07 stand higher. Selected first overall in the 2024 draft, Celebrini became the sixth teenager to reach 100 points in a season earlier this week during San Jose's 5-4 win over St. Louis on Monday, where he also recorded two goals and an assist.
