Celebrini Sets Up the Win and Keeps Testing Vancouver's Net
San Jose snaps a two-game skid at home against a Canucks team still searching for traction
Macklin Celebrini didn't score, but he was in the middle of everything for the Sharks in their 3-2 win over Vancouver. He logged 22:56 of ice time, the most of any forward on the team and third among all San Jose skaters, and finished with one assist and a plus 1.
He fired 6 shots on goal. Four came on the power play, where he did not get a point, and two came at even strength, where his assist arrived. He also blocked a shot but gave the puck away three times.
That shot total is a busy night for a player with 50 shots through 12 games, and it fits the way he has played all season: 16 points (5 goals, 11 assists) while averaging 22.9 minutes a game.
The win ended a two-game skid for the Sharks (6-6-1). Vancouver falls to 3-10-1.
