Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Dazzles again in quarterfinal win
Rotowire
Celebrini scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Canada's 4-3 overtime win over Czechia in the Olympic men's hockey quarterfinals Wednesday.
The 19-year-old phenom continues to amaze and has five goals and nine points through four games in the tournament. None of Celebrini's points were bigger than his second helper Wednesday, as he dropped the puck to Mitch Marner in OT before the Vegas winger split the Czech defense and scored the winner. Celebrini has found the back of the net himself in four straight games, and he's the first teenager to have a three-point game in the knockout round of an Olympic tournament involving NHL players.

Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Makes history in Sunday's rout
Rotowire
Celebrini scored two goals, one on the power play and the other on a penalty shot, and added an even-strength assist in Canada's 10-2 win over France in Olympic round-robin action Sunday.
The 19-year-old phenom continues to make history in Milan. Celebrini became the first NHL player to ever score on a penalty shot in the Olympics when he beat Julian Junca late in the second period -- something Sidney Crosby failed to do on his attempt in 2010, and both Patrick Kane and Corey Perry whiffed on in 2014. Celebrini also now holds the Olympic record for most goals by a teenager with four in only three games, and he's tied Evgeni Malkin's record for most points by a teenager with six. The San Jose star will look to claim that record for himself in Canada's quarterfinal game Wednesday, against either Denmark or Czechia.

Rotowire
Celebrini recorded a goal and an assist in Canada's 5-1 win over Switzerland in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday.
Celebrini opened his Olympic campaign with a goal in the opener and now added two more points, giving him three over his first two appearances. He looks increasingly comfortable skating alongside the likes of Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon, so Celebrini should continue to have tons of opportunities to keep scoring as the tournament progresses.

Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Tacks on empty-netter
Rotowire
Celebrini scored an empty-net goal on five shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Celebrini's point streak was on the line late, and the empty-netter sufficed to extend the heater to 11 games (eight goals, 21 points). The 19-year-old superstar has surpassed his rookie-year total with his 64th point in 2025-26. He's at 23 goals, 41 helpers, 136 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-15 rating over 42 appearances, and he needs just two more tallies to match his total from last season in that category. He'd have to hit a brutal slump or suffer a significant injury to fall short of the 100-point mark in just his second campaign.

Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Heroic effort in shootout win
Rotowire
Celebrini scored a goal, recorded an assist, fired four shots on net and had two blocks in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over Minnesota.
Celebrini checked multiple boxes in San Jose's win Wednesday, including a wrist-shot goal to give the Sharks an early lead in the shootout. In regulation, he tallied the primary helper on the goal scored by his newest linemate, Igor Chernyshov, before the prior lit the lamp himself in the third. With the pair of points, Celebrini is up to 22 goals, 40 assists, 126 shots on net and 21 blocks through 40 appearances this season. The 19-year-old superstar used Wednesday's game to raise his point streak to eight games and is just one point shy of matching his offensive output in 70 games a year ago. His goal-scoring efficiency has taken a leap this season, as he's up to a 17.2 shooting percentage, which is nearly seven percent higher than he had a season ago. While it would be difficult to replicate the production from his first half of the season, not only is reaching 100 points possible, but Celebrini also has a legitimate chance to double the 63 points he had as a rookie.

Celebrini enters the holiday break on a six-game point streak (four goals, eight assists).
