Age is yet just a number, and the San Jose Sharks’ Macklin Celebrini has proved that again and again.
The center, at only 19 years of age, recently hit game No. 100 in the midst of a 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. For the dedicated Sharks fans, there is seemingly no pass Celebrini cannot make, and no goal he cannot score. For those who pay attention to his speed, there is no part of the ice he cannot get to. Through his now 100 games, Celebrini has posted an impressive 40 goals, 66 assists and three career hat tricks.
