San Jose Shark Superstar Macklin Celebrini Point Projections for 2026-27
We have already done three of the five top NHL scorers from 2025-26, so why not a fourth? (And he even finished fourth in scoring last year, too.) And since we at Last Word On Hockey ask, we answer the bell, too. So far we have looked at player point total predictions for Connor McDavid, …
In December 2025, during a match between the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks, Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini scored a goal despite being checked by Vancouver's Conor Garland. The Sharks, led by general manager Mike Grier, have been bolstered by veteran players like Jacob Trouba, Dmitry Orlov, and Darnell Nurse. Additionally, the addition of younger talent like Michael Misa, Will Smith, and Ivar Stenberg has strengthened the team.
This young squad has been particularly effective on the power play, a factor that will benefit Celebrini, who was already the fourth highest scorer in the league during the 2025-26 season. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky spreads top players like Smith and Marchment across the lineup, giving Celebrini ample opportunities to contribute.
With an ice time increase from 19:47 to 21:19 last season, and a shooting percentage of 15.7, Celebrini is expected to continue his impressive performance in the 2026-27 season. While his goal and assist totals are projected to be around 42-46 and 68-72 respectively, a team environment that encourages success rather than individual stardom is anticipated.
