Overview

• Macklin Celebrini, the Sharks' first overall draft pick, will return after a 12-game absence due to a lower-body injury.
• Celebrini scored a goal and an assist in his NHL debut before being sidelined and is set to center the top line.
• Ty Dellandrea, acquired from the Stars, will also rejoin the lineup after missing four games with a hand injury.
• San Jose has managed a 3-8-2 record without Celebrini, but recently improved by winning three of their last four games.
• The Sharks need to make roster adjustments to activate Celebrini and Dellandrea from injured reserve.
