"Macklin Celebrini is only through the preliminary round of the Milan Cortina Games, and he's already made history while nearing a San Jose Sharks record for most points by a player in any one Winter Olympics. Celebrini had two goals, including one on a penalty shot, and an assist on Sunday as Canada routed France 10-2 at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena to close out play in Group A with a 3-0-0-0 record."
"On Sunday, Celebrini was awarded a penalty shot after he was hooked on a breakaway by French defenseman Florian Chakiachvili at the 17:16 mark of the second period. Celebrini made no mistake, beating Julian Junca for what was then his third goal of the Games. With the goal, Celebrini became the first NHL player to score on a penalty shot in the Olympics."
"Celebrini, 19, had four goals and two assists in three preliminary round games, and his six points in this tournament so far are just one shy of the Sharks' Olympic record of seven, set by Dany Heatley at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Heatley had four goals and three assists in seven games that year to help Canada win the gold medal."
