SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Macklin Celebrini<\/a> scored a jaw-dropping goal and added an empty-netter and two assists to become the fastest San Jose player to reach 50 points in a season as the Sharks beat the Calgary Flames<\/a> 6-3 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Celebrini assisted on two goals in the first period and then took over the game in the third. First he took a pass from Collin Graf<\/a>, spun without breaking stride and beat Dustin Wolf<\/a> for his 17th goal of the season to make it 4-2.<\/p>\n

The empty-netter put it away, giving the 19-year-old Celebrini 51 points in San Jose\u2019s 34th game of the season. That\u2019s three games faster than any other Sharks player reached the 50-point mark, with Erik Karlsson<\/a>, Joe Thornton<\/a> and Owen Nolan<\/a> all doing it in 37 games. The only teenagers to reach 50 points earlier in an NHL season were Sidney Crosby<\/a> and Wayne Gretzky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Barclay Goodrow<\/a> had two goals, John Klingberg<\/a> also scored for San Jose, and Tyler Toffoli<\/a> got his 300th career goal.<\/p>\n

Yaroslav Askarov<\/a> made 27 saves for the Sharks, who were coming off back-to-back overtime wins at Toronto and Pittsburgh to end their road trip.<\/p>\n

Blake Coleman<\/a>, Ryan Lomberg<\/a> and Nazem Kadri<\/a> scored for the Flames, who had won four of five. Wolf made 20 saves.<\/p>\n

The Sharks started fast, scoring twice in the first six minutes with Celebrini setting up Klingberg for his fourth goal in the last three games and Goodrow scoring his first.<\/p>\n

The Flames tied it by scoring twice in just over three minutes before Goodrow scored his second of the game in the closing seconds of the period when he knocked a loose puck on the goal line into an open net. <\/p>\n

The Sharks preserved the lead by killing two penalties in the second period as Calgary\u2019s league-worst power play generated only one shot on goal in four minutes with the man advantage.<\/p>\n

Flames: Host the Seattle Kraken<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Sharks: Host the Dallas Stars<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n
