Sharks Host Golden Knights as Celebrini Aims to Extend Winning Streak
Sunday’s NHL action features five exciting matchups, highlighting key players and milestones. The San Jose Sharks, with a record of 23 wins, 18 losses, and 3 overtime losses, are set to host the Vegas Golden Knights, whose current standing is 20 wins, 11 losses, and 12 overtime losses. This game will take place at 8 p.m. ET.
Celebrini’s Impressive Streak
Macklin Celebrini, a rising star and member of Team Canada for the upcoming Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina 2026, aims to extend his point streak to 14 games. Currently, the 19-year-old center has accumulated 27 points, comprised of 9 goals and 18 assists.
If Celebrini can achieve this feat, he will tie Erik Karlsson for the longest point streak in Sharks history. Karlsson set this record during the 2022-23 season, scoring in 14 consecutive games. Celebrini’s current streak places him alongside Mikael Granlund, who set a 13-game point streak earlier this season.
Teenage Records on the Line
In addition to his team achievements, Celebrini’s performance ties him with Nathan MacKinnon for the second-longest point streak by a teenager in NHL history. The only player ahead of them is Patrik Laine, who set a 15-game streak in the 2017-18 season.
Eichel Approaches a Milestone
On the other side of the ice, Jack Eichel is nearing a significant personal milestone. With 299 career points, made up of 114 goals and 185 assists over 277 games, he is on the cusp of becoming the sixth player in Golden Knights history to reach 300 points. Eichel would enter this exclusive club while setting a record for the fewest games required to achieve this milestone, surpassing Mark Stone, who reached 300 points in 309 games.
Recent Performance of the Golden Knights
- Jack Eichel’s ongoing performance highlights a strong offensive season.
- Mark Stone has also been spectacular, extending his goal streak to seven games.
- Vegas snapped a five-game skid and is currently on a three-game winning streak.
As the Sharks look for their fourth consecutive victory, all eyes will be on Celebrini as he aims to continue his remarkable run against a formidable Golden Knights team.
