Macklin Celebrini breaks Joe Thornton’s San Jose Sharks single-season points record with 115 points in 2025-26. The 19-year-old sets new franchise mark in season finale.
Macklin Celebrini has set a new San Jose Sharks franchise record for points in a single season Thursday night, finishing the 2025-26 campaign with 115 points. A pretty impressive feat, considering his age.
The 19-year-old center recorded a goal and two assists in the Sharks’ season-ending 6-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, surpassing Joe Thornton’s mark of 114 points set in 2006-07.
Celebrini, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, finished the season with 45 goals and 70 assists in 82 games. His record-breaking point came on a goal assisted by John Klingberg, giving the Sharks a 5-1 lead in the third period.
The milestone caps a historic sophomore season for Celebrini, who has quickly established himself as the face of the Sharks franchise. He became just the sixth teenager in NHL history to record 100-plus points in a season and is the youngest Shark to ever reach the mark.
Thornton had held the Sharks’ single-season points record for nearly two decades. Macklin Celebrini now stands alone at the top of the franchise leaderboard. The former record holder left a message for the new steward of the crown. You can watch that here:
