Macklin Celebrini, the San Jose Sharks' rookie forward, is currently day-to-day due to a lower-body injury sustained during a preseason game against the Utah Hockey Club. The injury occurred when he tripped over an opponent's stick and crashed into the boards.
Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky indicated that Celebrini was pulled from the game as a precaution, and while his status for the remainder of the preseason is uncertain, he has not been ruled out for the opening night.
Celebrini, selected first overall in the draft, is seen as crucial for the Sharks' future, especially after the team struggled last season.
