The MAC is Rolling Through

Macklin Celebrini, at the age of 19, had already made history both for his team and the NHL. First and foremost, Macklin entered this game 2 points behind Joe Thornton for the most points in a single season. With his 3-point night tonight, he sets the record with 115 points. Those 115 points also give Macklin Celebrini the 3rd most points in a season for a teenager. He is only behind Crosby’s 120-point season and Gretzky’s 137-point season. His 3-point game puts him in another club alongside Gretzky and Crosby, most 3-point games for a teenager. Gretzky had 9, Crosby had 5 and Celebrini has 8 this year thanks to this game. Reminder: HE IS 19. Back in 2023, so much of the talk about the top pick of that draft was about how the top pick was going to be a player who would define a generation. They were 1 year off, that guy came in the 2024 draft.
