Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini to miss at least 2 more weeks

San 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.

General manager Mike Grier provided the timeline update for the 18-year-old forward on 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.
