The 19-year-old sets new franchise mark in season finale. <\/p>\n<p>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 <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/celebma01.html\">115 points<\/a>. A pretty impressive feat, considering his age.<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old center recorded a goal and two assists in the Sharks\u2019 season-ending 6-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, surpassing Joe Thornton\u2019s mark of 114 points set in 2006-07.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHL\/status\/2044958429060452672?s=20\"><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Thornton had held the Sharks\u2019 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.
