Macklin Celebrini put the San Jose Sharks on his back Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks, registering four points to engineer a dramatic 4-3 comeback victory.

The 19-year-old scored the equalizer with 1:39 left in regulation before setting up Alexander Wennberg's game-winner just over a minute later.

The game-tying goal was Celebrini's 40th of the campaign, making him the 10th teenager in NHL history to reach the mark.

Celebrini is now up to 105 points on the season - the second most in Sharks history behind Joe Thornton (114 in 2006-07). Erik Karlsson's 101 points in 2022-23 were previously the second most in team history.

The win was a crucial one for the Sharks, who are now just one point back of the Los Angeles Kings for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
