Macklin Celebrini did not disappoint in his debut with the San Jose Sharks.
The center, selected No. 1 by the Sharks in the 2024 NHL Draft, was dominant at times and scored a third-period goal in a 3-2 win against the Utah Hockey Club in the 2024 Rookie Faceoff at Toyota Sports Performance Center on Friday.
The 18-year-old said it didn’t take him long to feel at home with the Sharks.
“It felt really good,” Celebrini said. “Especially getting changed before the game and [skating] in warmups. Putting the jersey on, it kind of became real.”
