San Jose Sharks rookie Mackin Celebrini is quickly figuring out the NHL. With NHL EDGE player and puck tracking, some numbers suggest he's already ascending to the league's top.

Celebrini scored one on a 35-foot slap shot that beat Kings goalie David Rittich 63 seconds into the third period for a 3-2 Sharks lead. He added another on a one-timer from near the faceoff dot at the 3:43 mark – and also assisted on Fabian Zetterlund’s second-period even-strength goal that tied the game 2-2.

Celebrini has four goals in his past three games, and Smith has three straight multipoint games (two goals, five assists) for the Sharks (8-13-5), who are 2-2-1 in their past five. Ethan Cardwell scored his first NHL goal in his fourth game, and Vitek Vanecek made 26 saves.

Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith are the San Jose Sharks' two most important young players. How are their rookie seasons going thus far?
