Sharks Dominate Kings 7-2, Celebrini Shines

Rookie Macklin Celebrini led the San Jose Sharks to a dominant 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, marking their most decisive win of the season. Celebrini, the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft, scored two goals and added an assist during a five-goal third period for the Sharks. This victory ended a three-game losing streak for San Jose, which had struggled recently, winning only two out of their last eight games. Yaroslav Askarov, also a rookie, shined in his first home start, making 22 saves. Despite the Kings' brief lead in the second period, the Sharks' explosive third period, including goals from Timothy Liljegren, Alexander Wennberg, and Luke Kunin, secured the win. Celebrini's performance highlights a promising youth movement within the Sharks as they continue their season with an upcoming game against the Ottawa Senators.
