Celebrini Leads Sharks in Ice Time in Shootout Win

Macklin Celebrini went without a point, but he was on the ice more than anyone else in the Sharks lineup. His 25:40 led all 18 San Jose skaters and all 12 forwards, and the Sharks beat the Islanders 3-2 in a shootout.

He was a constant shooting threat. He put six shots on goal: four at even strength and two on the power play. He also had one takeaway and one blocked shot. The other side of the ledger was three giveaways. He finished even in the plus-minus rating.

That is a quiet scoresheet by his standards. He came in with 7 goals and 14 assists in 18 games, and he had three assists in Dallas in his previous outing. Six shots is a real push, though, against a season total of 77 shots. Nothing went in this time.

The win ended a five-game skid for a San Jose team that came in 7-11-1 and is still in the playoff race. Celebrini did not decide this one on the scoresheet, but he was on the ice for a lot of it.
