Washington Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery says he\u2019d vote Macklin Celebrini for MVP.<\/p>\n
The head coach did say, because he does not watch the San Jose Sharks, Colorado Avalanche, or Edmonton Oilers, he would need to do more research before giving a definitive vote. But as of now, he\u2019d give Celebrini the nod.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like the San Jose Sharks are overachieving [relative to their] expectations,\u201d he said. \u201c[Celebrini] offensively, what he\u2019s doing for that team, is remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Specifically, Carbery pointed out that Celebrini\u2019s 50 even strength points are well above Alex Wennberg\u2019s second-place 28. That\u2019s just one of the many stats Celebrini comfortably leads his team in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not a slight against the rest of his group,\u201d Carbery clarified. \u201cThat\u2019s just a compliment of how incredible of a season he\u2019s having, and how impactful he is for the San Jose Sharks.\u201d<\/p>\n
For what it\u2019s worth, Celebrini was third to Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid in NHL.com<\/a>\u2018s most recent poll.<\/p>\n AT SAN JOSE HOCKEY NOW\u2026<\/p>\n Will Smith<\/a> is back in the line-up.<\/p>\n The San Jose Sharks<\/a> have made a trade to pave the way for Michael Misa\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n Inside Alex Wennberg<\/a>\u2018s underrated game.<\/p>\n Reportedly, Dougie Hamilton<\/a> nixed trade to the Sharks over summer.<\/p>\n Vincent Iorio<\/a> settling in with Sharks.<\/p>\n Tomas Hertl happy with the San Jose Sharks<\/a>\u2018 turnaround.<\/p>\n OTHER SHARKS NEWS\u2026<\/p>\n Filip Bystedt was selected as an AHL All Star!<\/p>\n The Beast is a STAR! \ud83e\udd29<\/p>\n Barracuda forward Filip Bystedt is headed to Rockford, IL for the 2026 @TheAHL<\/a> All-Star Classic presented by BMO!
