SAN JOSE – It doesn’t seem to matter who his linemates are or who is in the San Jose Sharks’ lineup. Macklin Celebrini still has a way of bringing everyone out of their seats.

It happened again on Tuesday as Celebrini assisted on goals by John Klingberg and Barclay Goodrow, then scored another highlight-reel goal of his own to lead the Sharks to a 6-3 win over the Calgary Flames before an announced crowd of 14,261 at SAP Center.

Celebrini, after his game-winning goal, added an empty netter at the 18:21 mark of the third period to complete a four-point game.

“He was just OK,” Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said of Celebrini with a wry smile. “He’s a special one, for sure. It’s just every time you think he’s going to maybe slow down and maybe hit a speed bump, he doesn’t. He just keeps going. And you can see he had legs early tonight.”

Goalie Yaroslav Askarov finished with 27 saves, including seven in the first two minutes of the third period. Tyler Toffoli scored his 300th career goal at the 12:53 mark of the third period to give the Sharks a 5-3 lead.

“It’s really cool, and having the guys be happy for me as well goes a long way,” Toffoli said. “(I’m) assuming my dad’s going to be pumped about this one, so we’ll see what he has to say. On his birthday, too.”

Klingberg’s goal just 62 seconds into the first period came off a no-look backhand pass between the top of the circles in the Flames’ zone.

After assisting on Goodrow’s second goal of the game just 19 seconds before the first intermission, Celebrini scored another spectacular goal early in the third period for a two-goal Sharks cushion.

After Collin Graf carried the puck into the Flames’ zone, he fed Celebrini, who took the pass on his forehand, spun around to get past defenseman Kevin Bahl, then put a shot on Flames goalie Dustin Wolf. The Gilroy native stopped the shot, but the puck went off Celebrini and into the net for his 17th goal and 50th point of the season.

“It’s kind of just a reaction. Graf made a good play on the wall to intercept it, and then just found me in the middle,” Celebrini said of the play. “That’s all just kind of reactionary. It was a little lucky. It goes off my hip.”

With the goal and his four-point night, Celebrini became just the third Shark to reach 50 points before the NHL’s holiday break, joining Joe Thornton in 2009-10 and Owen Nolan in 1999-00. Celebrini is also the fastest Sharks player to reach 50 points, doing so in just 34 games.

Celebrini is also just the third teenager in NHL history to reach 50 points in 34 or fewer games, joining Sidney Crosby, who did it in 28 games in the 2006-07 season, and Wayne Gretzky, who did it in 32 games in both the 1979-80 and 1980-81 seasons.

“He’s incredible,” Goodrow said. “It seems like every night he does something that just makes you say, ‘Wow.’ At this point, it’s not surprising, but it still is surprising. He proves each and every night why he’s one of the best players in the league.”

Celebrini now has 10 points in his last five games, helping the Sharks go 4-1-0 in that time.

Celebrini had Graf and rookie Igor Chernyshov as his linemates on Tuesday after Will Smith and Philipp Kurashev were injured in the Sharks’ 6-5 overtime win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

Kurashev, who had 15 points in his first 31 games this season, is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury, while a timeline for Smith’s return is a little more uncertain.

Warsofsky said Smith, who appeared to sustain an upper-body injury in the third period Saturday, will sit out this week and be reevaluated by the team’s medical staff on Monday. Asked if there was a possibility that Smith would need surgery, Warsofsky said, “I don’t think we’re there yet.”

Before his injury, Smith, usually playing alongside Celebrini, had 29 points in 33 games and was a mainstay on San Jose’s first power play unit. The Sharks went 11-5-2 in games in which Smith had a point, and 5-9-1 in games in which he was held scoreless.

The Sharks had a 3-2 lead after the first period, with Goodrow scoring goals at the 6:00 and 19:41 mark for his first two-goal regular season game since April 5, 2024, when he was with the New York Rangers.

On Goodrow’s second goal, he first sent a pass along the boards to Ty Dellandrea, who carried the puck behind the Flames’ net before he sent it out front to Celebrini. The second-year Sharks center quickly put a shot on net, and the puck trickled past Wolf and rested right next to the goal line before Goodrow tapped it in for his third goal of the season.

Klingberg, whose goal came just 1:02 into the first period, now has a five-game point streak with eight points in that time.
