Four points in four meetings make New York a familiar matchup.
Macklin Celebrini enters the matchup against the New York Islanders needing just one more scoring contribution to reach 200 career NHL points. At 20 years and 149 days old, the San Jose Sharks forward has a chance to become the fifth-youngest player in league history to achieve that mark.
Only Sidney Crosby, Wayne Gretzky, Jimmy Carson and Mario Lemieux reached the milestone at a younger age. Joining those names would put Celebrini in distinguished company just months after turning 20.
His pace also puts him close to another historical achievement. After 169 career games, he could become the fifth-fastest active player to reach 200. Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Kirill Kaprizov are the only active players ahead of him.
Celebrini enters the matchup with a three-game scoring streak. He has recorded two goals and two assists across four career meetings with New York, giving him a familiar opponent as he approaches the milestone.
