Collin Graf called it.
Not his game-opening goal for the Sharks on Sunday, 33 seconds in, leading the way to a 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, which Macklin Celebrini, who was incredible in all three zones in a three-point night, had a lot to do with.
“Honestly, I didn’t really see it at first. I was going to the net, and it hit me on the tape,” Graf said of his centerman’s pass. “Pretty impressive.”
Instead, it was something that the mature-beyond-his-years winger said after the Sharks’ 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Friday, when asked what San Jose did right in the middle part of that tilt, to hang tough with Cup-contending Dallas.
