AutoDraft Pro AI

Macklin Celebrini continued his meteoric rise, assisting both goals in the San Jose Sharks' thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday. This performance extended the Sharks' win streak to four games. The 19-year-old phenom's 26 points this season now tie him with Sidney Crosby's 2006-07 campaign for the second-most ever by a teenager through their team’s first 17 games, trailing only Wayne Gretzky's 27 in 1980-81. Celebrini's first assist tied the game 1-1 in the third period, setting up Will Smith, and his second assist led to Collin Graf's overtime winner. This comes after Celebrini himself delivered the overtime winner against the Wild two weeks prior. His exceptional play has been a key factor in the Sharks' recent turnaround, as they now hold a playoff spot after a challenging start to the season.
