SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini has notched another career first, as he was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week for his efforts during the last week of November.
Celebrini had four goals – including two game-winners – and three assists in four games for the Sharks, who went 3-1-0 last week, including a home-and-home series sweep of the Seattle Kraken on Friday and Saturday.
Celebrini had game-winning goals in both the Sharks’ 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 26, and San Jose’s 8-5 win over the Kraken. Both games were at SAP Center.
Against the Kings, Celebrini had two goals and an assist, making him, at 18 years, 165 days, the youngest player in Sharks franchise history to record a three-point game. Patrick Marleau had the previous team mark of 18 years, 171 days, set on March 5, 1998, when he had a goal and two assists in a game against the Detroit Red Wings.
On Sunday, Celebrini was named the NHL’s Rookie of the Month for November. Going into Tuesday’s Sharks game against the Washington Capitals, Celebrini is third among all rookies with 14 points in 15 games this season despite missing 12 games due to a hip injury.
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes and Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun were named the league’s second and third star of the week, respectively, ending Dec. 1.
