  • Celebrini Breaks Thornton’s Record, Hart Talk!
    Apr 20 2026

    Join Paul and Aaron for episode 285 of The Fin Factor as we close the books on the 2025-26 San Jose Sharks season and what a way to end it. Macklin Celebrini made history on April 16, scoring his 45th goal of the season to pass Joe Thornton's franchise record with 115 points in a single season. At 19 years old, he now trails only Gretzky and Crosby for points in a teen season in NHL history. We break down the Sharks' final three games with a road win in Nashville, a collapse in Chicago, and a dominant 6-1 blowout in Winnipeg where the record fell, plus a full look at where Celebrini ranks in the Hart Trophy conversation heading into the offseason. We also take your questions and comments live!
