Macklin Celebrini scored his 10th goal of the season and the San Jose Sharks defeated the Florida Panthers 3-1. Adam Gaudette and Alexander Wennberg also scored for San Jose, which has won three consecutive games and five of six. Yaroslav Askarov made 38 saves to shut down the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions. Brad Marchand scored in his fourth straight game, the longest streak by a Panthers player 37 or older. Marchand needs four points to become the 102nd player in NHL history to reach 1, 000. The 19-year-old Celebrini, the top pick in the 2024 NHL draft, scored with 2: 35 remaining in the first period. That gave him 24 points this season, matching the most by a teenager in his team’s first 16 games.
