WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) --- Macklin Celebrini had a goal and two assists to
break Joe Thornton's San Jose record for points in a season with 115, helping

The 19-year-old Celebrini had 45 goals and 70 assists in 82 games in his second
NHL season. Thornton had 114 points in 2006-07, also playing 82 games. Last

The Jets were 35-35-12 to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2021-22.
They are the fifth NHL team to win the Presidents' Trophy for the best
regular-season record and not qualify for the playoffs the following season.

goal and an assist, Collin Graf, Igor Chernyshov and Michael Misa also scored,
