SJHN Daily: Celebrini Named NHL First Star of the Week
Have a week, Macklin Celebrini.
This week, the 19-year-old phenom scored a hat trick in the San Jose Sharks’ first win of the season, then added an overtime winner yesterday against the Minnesota Wild. Celebrini finished last week with five goals and 10 points in four games, earning himself the NHL’s First Star of the Week.
Macklin Celebrini, Logan Cooley and Jack Hughes have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Oct. 26.

With his recent scoring surge, Celebrini is now third in the NHL in scoring, behind Nick Schmaltz and Jack Eichel. The San Jose Sharks’ star also leads all Canadian NHL’ers in scoring with 15 points in nine games.
This is Macklin Celebrini‘s second time as NHL First Star of the Week. He won the award last week.

Thanks for this link… “If they can just learn to defend…”
And oh hell yeah Celebrini should be on that Canadian team. It would be insane to leave him off. And screw 14th F… He’s probably closer to the 6th or 7th now. He’s just taken a massive leap forward, and these points are against pretty strong competition overall
have to admit, I did kinda chuckle at that …
This story kinda made me laugh … and wince …
The 2-time defending NHL champion Florida Panthers put (former San Jose Shark) Jonah Gadjovich on IR — and recalled (former San Jose Shark) Noah Gregor.
To play on the 4th with Kunin!
Bruce Cassidy better win a Cup this year. The Vegas brass is already excited to hire Mitch Love after he gets reinstated.
Any news on Gaudette? Didn’t see an update, or missed it? Looks/ed like a shoulder. Sure hope not. Was one of the better FA signings under MGs reign.
Oh man, I hope it’s not a shoulder injury. Sharks have him for 2 seasons so would be great if he’s part of the continuity.
No update post-game and off-day today
Oh shit I already forgot about this post. I gotcha. Like I said, I missed the injury.
There’s a lot of “let the young guys play” discussion. And while its impossible to play an entire roster of “young guys” for the Sharks since there are a bunch of contracts for older guys in place, I decided to take a look at what a “young guys” roster might look like. This is my opinion of who’d be on that team among players in the organization eligible to play now or later on this season. Macklin (age 19) Smith 20 Lund 21 Misa 18 Graf 23 Eklund 23 Dellandrea 25 Cardwell 23 Musty 20 Ostapchuk 22 Giles 25 Chernyshov… Read more »
I’ve said it a few times, I’ll say it again with feeling. It is my strong opinion that nobody who is not in the NHL right now is ready for the NHL right now.
When Mukh gets healthy I want him to draw in more, but other than that, I really don’t have a quibble with what the team is doing.
I’d say Lund, GIles and maybe Ostapchuk could be NHL players right now. Not good players, but perhaps OK in the right/limited roles. Giles as a 4c? I liked what he did last season. Lund as a 3rd line winger? If he’s taken a step, I can see him being OK in that role. I’ve seen Thompson play competently at an NHL level last season, but his game was missing in the preseason.If he finds his game again, then I’d include him. And I’m thinking Pohlkamp might be NHL ready. 4G, 3A and +6 in 6 games for Denver. His… Read more »
I agree with kads on his thought. It is frustrating for everyone that we do not see as much of the youth as we would like, but understandable. Muk should be a permanent part of the defensive pairs when healthy. He is the Sharks best shutdown defenseman and be a huge boost to the blue line when he returns. Pohlkamp looked good in development camp and in the leagues he has played in but the AHL and NHL are different beasts. I am a firm believer in prospects dominating the leagues they are in before they graduate to a higher… Read more »
If you want to see the young guys, go to the Cuda games. And if you do,.you might agree with me. Give them time. We can’t have our cake and eat it too. The vets give the Sharks the best chance to win and the Cuda gives the youth the best chance to have success. If you force the youth up a level and they fail, is that really the best thing for them? Cardwell really would not give us more than Skinner or Kurashev, and would we want to force him onto the 4th line for Dellandrea? It’s just… Read more »
This was meant more for Zeke, obviously 😂
Never would argue that. We are on the same page with letting them develop and over ripen (which is why I made the comment about Pohlkamp) in their respective leagues. I have not seen any Cuda games but am a San Jose native living in Houston Texas, so getting to a Cuda games is reserved for family visits to the bay. Never watched hockey until the Sharks first playoff run. It was at Moffett Field when I was still in the Navy and remember Garpenlov hitting the post like is was yesterday. Will have to rely on friends let me… Read more »
