Sharks rookie Celebrini out at least 2 more weeks
Written by I Dig SportsSan Jose Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NHL draft, will miss at least two more weeks with a lower-body injury.
Sharks general manager Mike Grier provided the timeline update for the 18-year-old forward Monday. Celebrini has not played since tallying a goal and an assist in the Oct. 10 season opener against the St. Louis Blues.
Celebrini's goal just 7:01 into that game was the second-fastest in history by a No. 1 pick making his NHL debut, bested only by Mario Lemieux's tally 2:59 into his first game with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1984.
Celebrini claimed the 2023-24 Hobey Baker Award during his one-year stint at Boston University, where he helped the Terriers reach the NCAA Frozen Four and finished with 64 points (32 goals, 32 assists) in 38 games.
