The San Jose Sharks kicked off a big night with a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks, and their young star Macklin Celebrini stole the show.

Celebrini wasted no time tying the game at 151 in the first period with his own goal.

Just three minutes later, he set up Adam Gaudet perfectly.

Then he capped it off with helpers to Will Smith and John Klingberg, all while logging 17 minutes and 38 seconds of ice time running.

The offense.

This game meant extra for Celebrini since he grew up in Vancouver cheering for the Canucks.

Sharks coach Ryan Warsawski knew that fire was there and gave him the green light to take over.

The home crowd ended up cheering plenty as the Sharks pulled away.

Now Celebrini ties Demi Carson for fourth place on the list of most four-point games by a teenager in NHL history.

Wayne Gretzky holds the top spot with 14, Sidney Crosby has 8, and Dale Howarchuk sits at 7.

With his birthday coming up on June 13, he's chasing that ladder fast.

Celebrini stayed humble after, just thrilled to play where it all started.

He's proving the Sharks won't wait long for this talent to peak, much like Crosby and Gretzky did early on.
