The Sharks won the 2024 NHL draft lottery, marking a pivotal turn for the franchise with the selection of highly-touted forward Macklin Celebrini.

The San Jose Sharks clinched the first overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, a first in the franchise's history.
Macklin Celebrini, the expected top pick, is celebrated for his exceptional performance at Boston University and winning the Hobey Baker Award.
The draft event will be hosted at the Sphere in Las Vegas, introducing the venue's first major sports event.
