SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Macklin Celebrini tied the game with less than two minutes to play then assisted on Alexander Wennberg’s winning goal with 31 seconds left to complete a four-point game as the San Jose Sharks beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
With two goals and two assists, Celebrini now has 40 goals and 105 points this season, moving him past Erik Karlsson (101 points in 2022-23) for the second highest single-season point total in franchise history behind Joe Thornton\u2019s 114-point effort in 2006-07.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old Celebrini also now has 17 games this season with three or more points, second among teenagers in NHL history only to Wayne Gretzky, who had 19 in 1979-80.<\/p>\n
Will Smith had a goal and two assists for the Sharks and Yaroslav Askirov made 28 saves.<\/p>\n
Troy Terry scored 4:04 into the third period to give the Ducks a 3-2 lead.<\/p>\n
Celebrini tied it with 1:39 to play.<\/p>\n
Ryan Poehling and Alex Killorn also scored for Anaheim, which has lost three straight games but remains atop the Pacific Division. Drew Helleson had a pair of assists and Lukas Dostal made 16 saves and also got his first assist of the season on Poehling’s goal.<\/p>\n
The Ducks played without their leading goal scorer, Cutter Gauthier, who suffered an upper-body injury in Monday night’s 5-4 loss to Toronto.<\/p>\n
Nathan Gaucher made his NHL debut for the Ducks. He was selected 22nd overall by Anaheim in the 2022 draft.<\/p>\n
San Jose now has a 2-1 lead in the four-game regular-season series between the teams.<\/p>\n
Ducks: Return home to play St. Louis on Friday night.<\/p>\n
