Macklin Celebrini
Every MVP race needs a compelling storyline, and Macklin Celebrini has provided one of the most fascinating narratives of the season. The rookie standout has recorded 81 points (fourth in the NHL) and had 67 points at the midseason checkpoint, ranking third at that time.
Celebrini’s even-strength production has drawn comparisons to some of the most famous rookie seasons in NHL history. When measured against the legendary debut campaigns of Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin in 2005–06, his numbers remain impressive.
