San Jose Sharks prospect Macklin Celebrini talks with the media after day one of development camp on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, in San Jose, Calif. No, Macklin Celebrini didn’t skate coast-to-coast with the puck, deke five defenders and score a bar-down goal for the San Jose Sharks on Friday.
Playing his first game in nearly four months, the 18-year-old Celebrini scored a third-period power-play goal and finished with five shots in the Sharks’ 3-2 win over the Utah Hockey Club at the Toyota Performance Center. Celebrini’s goal came at the 5:42 mark of the third. He started the sequence by winning a faceoff inside the Utah zone before he drifted back to the blue line, collected the puck, skated along the wall, and fed it back to defenseman Luca Cagnoni.Cagnoni then skated along the blue line before he passed it back to Celebrini, who faked a one-timer, took a stride, and fired the puck past Utah goalie Anson Thornton.
All eyes, though, were on Celebrini, who became the first player to be taken No. 1 overall by the Sharks at the NHL Draft in Las Vegas in June.
