Macklin Celebrini ’s historic sophomore season has earned him a historic contract extension.

Celebrini and the San Jose Sharks have agreed to a five-year, $94-million contract extension, the team announced Wednesday.

Celebrini had one year remaining on his three-year, $2.925-million entry-level contract before signing the deal that keeps him locked up with the Sharks through the 2031-32 season.

The $18.8-million average annual value of the deal that Celebrini reached with general manager Mike Grier and owner Hasso Plattner is the richest in NHL history, topping the $18 million a year Leo Carlsson got when Anaheim matched a five-year offer sheet from Philadelphia.
