Macklin Celebrini Hits 100 Points, Joins NHL Legends

0:00On March 31st, Maclin Celebrini just made history for the San Jose Sharks, hitting a hundred points in his second NHL season at just 19 years. Old? He's only the 16-ager ever to do it, scoring his 37th goal and adding an assist in a tight 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues at home. That milestone came early in the first period, and he wasn't done. Celebrini buried his 38th goal right before the frame ended to seal the lead. Now sitting at 101 points through 72 games, he joins legends like Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Sydney Crosbyn with Crosbyn. Being the last team to hit the mark back in 2006-07, fans and experts are buzzing because this kid's no fluke. Drafted first overall by the Sharks in 2024, after dominating college with the Hobie Baker Award, he finished third in rookie of the year. Voting last season. Now a hard trophy contender, he's the youngest ever on Canada's Olympic roster, dropping 10 points to chase gold in Milan.

1:03Living with Sharks legend, Joe Thornton has clearly helped his game skyrocket. Meanwhile, teammate Igor Chernashov lit the lamp twice, including the winner, while Alex Nidelčkiewicz stopped 22 shots in Will Smith-Disht. The Sharks are four points out of the wildcard, with about 10 games left, snapping a six-game skid and stacking wins to fuel their playoff push. Coach Ryan Wersowski's got the squad believing as they grind toward the postseason finish line. From your team, powered by AI, this is NHL News Today.
