NHL roundup: Celebrini breaks team record in Sharks demolition of Jets

[p]That was [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/celebrini-macklin/I7wgduSQ/"]Macklin Celebrini[/a], who found the back of the net and provided two helpers as the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/san-jose-sharks/E588Co9j/"]San Jose Sharks[/a] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/san-jose-sharks-E588Co9j/winnipeg-jets-r3L8pAaJ/?mid=MNlLg7AL"]cruised to a 6-1 defeat[/a] of the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/winnipeg-jets/r3L8pAaJ/"]Winnipeg Jets[/a].[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/koepke-cole/xC4Rmllm/"]Cole Koepke[/a] had put the home team in front three minutes and 28 seconds into the contest, but it went downhill from there. Celebrini assisted [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/chernyshov-igor/xf5CPCDJ/"]Igor Chernyshov[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/smith-william/vmahuod7/"]William Smith[/a] later in the period to give the Sharks a lead going into the first intermission.[/p][p]The second frame saw [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/graf-collin/EezxffR5/"]Collin Graf[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/misa-michael/O2JBNrMm/"]Michael Misa[/a], and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/eklund-william/UaqiMxql/"]William Eklund[/a] add to the goals for San Jose as they went up 5-1. Then, 74 seconds into the final frame, Celebrini took a shot from point blank range that beat [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/comrie-eric/WGsr6Kyi/"]Eric Comrie[/a] to complete the scoring.[/p][embed guid="330b2757-6f75-4561-ad32-74c81f2c6da5" url="https://x.com/i/status/2044958429060452672" social-type="twitter" /][p]It was the 19-year-old's 115th point of the season, breaking the record for the most in a single season for the Sharks. He completed the year with 45 goals and 70 assists, becoming just the second teenager to score at least 40 goals and 70 assists in a regular season.[/p][p]The Sharks end the year on 86 points, four points out of the second wildcard spot in the playoffs. The Jets suffered a fourth loss in a row, finishing 12th in the Western Conference.[/p][p]San Jose were not the only ones to prevail 6-1 that night, as the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/edmonton-oilers/Mg0qoxeI/"]Edmonton Oilers[/a] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/edmonton-oilers-Mg0qoxeI/vancouver-canucks-YiOrnTV9/?mid=ELTanP2e"]won by the same scoreline[/a] versus the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/vancouver-canucks/YiOrnTV9/"]Vancouver Canucks[/a].[/p][p]Having lost their last two heading into the game, the Oilers had a fast start in the clash. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/savoie-matthew/jwQhxQS8/"]Matthew Savoie[/a] netted a first period hat-trick, which was the first of his career, as they went up 4-1 at the intermission.[/p][embed guid="f6e20486-3439-4ec9-87be-dac7c75cc3a7" url="https://x.com/EdmontonOilers/status/2044956204095737899?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]The Canucks, who went on to concede a whopping 316 times this season, had no answer for Edmonton's relentlessness as they were outshot 54-19 in the match.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/samanski-joshua/GMfO9uJT/"]Joshua Samanski[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/nugent-hopkins-ryan/h85tUf7g/"]Ryan Nugent-Hopkins[/a], and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/dach-colton/88TWk7mr/"]Colton Dach[/a] were the other scorers for the home side, who finished second in the Pacific Division. They will face the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/anaheim-ducks/4CM4ojpD/"]Anaheim Ducks[/a] in the opening round of the playoffs.[/p][p]Speaking of the Ducks, they edged the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/nashville-predators/QV0K6kn4/"]Nashville Predators[/a] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/anaheim-ducks-4CM4ojpD/nashville-predators-QV0K6kn4/?mid=fmmopjq2"]5-4 at the Bridgestone Arena[/a]. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/terry-troy/GKerOq26/"]Troy Terry[/a] scored the winning goal with a little less than three minutes left in regulation to lift the guests to the win. [/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/forsberg-filip/rHO2BcBm/"]Filip Forsberg[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/stamkos-steven/hz2mWvws/"]Steve Stamkos[/a] got two each for the Preds, who will miss out on the playoffs after a disappointing year. It proved not to be enough in what was a back-and-forth contest, which went the Ducks' way.[/p][p]Anaheim will go into the playoffs having won the second fewest regular season games of the Western teams who made the playoffs.[/p][p]Elsewhere, the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/calgary-flames/EZekktRt/"]Calgary Flames[/a] topped the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/los-angeles-kings/CIDo8i2o/"]Los Angeles Kings[/a] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/calgary-flames-EZekktRt/los-angeles-kings-CIDo8i2o/?mid=IgziloYr"]3-1[/a], while [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/thomas-robert/8bU4IVJ2/"]Robert Thomas[/a] netted a hat-trick for the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/st-louis-blues/KSAayVoi/"]St. Louis Blues[/a] [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/st-louis-blues-KSAayVoi/utah-mammoth-hnwxhtVp/?mid=AeVX7gy9"]in their 5-3 victory[/a] at the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/utah-mammoth/hnwxhtVp/"]Utah Mammoth[/a].[/p][p]The last game of the night - as well as the regular season - saw [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/colorado-avalanche/hACAnvBa/"]Colorado Avalanche[/a] come out on top [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/colorado-avalanche-hACAnvBa/seattle-kraken-MibYQ5nU/?mid=r9Tu6X5L"]2-0[/a] against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/seattle-kraken/MibYQ5nU/"]Seattle Kraken[/a].[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/nhl/"]Follow all of the NHL on Flashscore as the playoffs start very soon.[/a][/b][/p]
