Celebrini participated in warmups for the Sharks, but prior to puck drop the team announced that their star forward would not play because of the injury.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, he didn’t play tonight,” Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said. “We’ll evaluate tonight and tomorrow and see where he’s at.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He’s still being evaluated.”<\/p>\n
When asked whether Celebrini’s presence with the other scratches could be a positive sign, Warsofsky said, “I mean, he’s here in the building, so he’s with the team.”<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old had picked up right where he left off last season for San Jose (2-1-0). He had three assists in a 4-3 overtime win against the Florida Panthers on Thursday before following that up with two assists in a 5-4 overtime win against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Last season, Celebrini ranked fourth in the NHL with 115 points (45 goals, 70 assists) in 82 games.<\/p>\n
Selected by the Sharks with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, Celebrini has 183 points (70 goals, 113 assists) in 154 games.<\/p>\n
San Jose’s next game is at the St. Louis Blues on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; Disney+, HULU, ESPN+, SN+).\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We’ll see (about moving forward without Celebrini),” Warsofsky said. “We’ll get through tonight and tomorrow and go from there.”<\/p>\n
