Sharks' Top Pick Macklin Celebrini Sidelined for Two More Weeks

The rookie forward's recovery from a lower-body injury impacts San Jose's early season performance.

Macklin Celebrini, the San Jose Sharks' No. 1 draft pick, will remain out for at least two more weeks due to a lower-body injury.
Celebrini has been absent since his impressive NHL debut on October 10, where he scored a goal and an assist against the St. Louis Blues.
The 18-year-old forward is utilizing his recovery time to focus on building his physical strength, which could benefit his long-term development.
San Jose Sharks are struggling without Celebrini, currently holding a 0-4-2 record with a significant goal deficit.
Despite the setback, Celebrini has resumed skating individually and is expected to return stronger to face top defensive pairs in the league.
