Macklin Celebrini, the top pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, is currently undergoing evaluation for a lower-body injury, causing him to miss practice. Coach Ryan Warsofsky is uncertain about Celebrini's availability for the upcoming game against the Anaheim Ducks.

In his NHL debut, Celebrini made an impressive impact by scoring a goal and assisting in a thrilling 5-4 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues. His debut goal ranks as the second-fastest for a No. 1 pick, following only Mario Lemieux.
