Macklin Celebrini trailed only Gretzky, Crosby in crazy statistics
The The San Jose Sharks couldn’t be happier with the man they selected first overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, Macklin Celebrini has quickly become one of the league’s top stars, sharing the Sharks’ forward stats with Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby proves he could be on his way to legendary status.
On Tuesday night, Celebrini became the third-fastest teenager to reach 50 points in a season in NHL history, accomplishing the feat in 34 games. The only players who done faster were Crosby, 28, and Gretzky, 32, twice at 18 and 19, according to the San Jose Sharks’ official PR account via X, formerly known as Twitter.
Celebrini took the league by storm during the 2025-26 season, proving to be one of the best prospects to come out of the draft since Connor McDavid in 2015. His status as one of the best players in the game will reach even greater heights if he makes the Team Canada roster and plays in the Olympics.
The eventual inclusion of the 19-year-old on the roster proves that he is more than goals and assists. Team Canada is reluctant to take on young players who haven’t yet learned both sides of the game, but Celebrini is just as responsible defensively as he is offensively.
Celebrini is now third in the NHL with 51 points, four points ahead of Leon Draisaitl and just five points behind Connor McDavid. Nathan McKinnon is two points ahead of McDavid in first place. Macklin Celebrini doesn’t just challenge legends of the game with your statistics; he also competes with current NHL superstars.
