NHL: San Jose Sharks play first game since Macklin Celebrini was placed on injured reserve (lower body)
San Jose Sharks’ Will Smith skates with the puck against the Anaheim Ducks during the first period at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024. SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks goalie Vitek Vanecek was solid in his first NHL start in over eight months.Vanecek made 28 saves, but Isac Lundestrom’s goal at the 11:00 minute mark of the third period turned out to be the winner as the Anaheim Ducks handed the Sharks a 2-0 loss before an announced crowd of 17,016 at SAP Center.
Vanecek’s last NHL start came on Feb. 10 when he made 31 saves for the New Jersey Devils in a 1-0 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Vanecek was later put on injured reserve and traded to the Sharks for goalie Kaapo Kahkonen and underwent groin surgery in the spring. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky described Celebrini as being week-to-week. He will have to remain off the active roster for at least seven days, which will cause him to miss at least the next two games – Tuesday in Dallas and Thursday in Chicago.
