SJHN Daily: Friedman Says Sharks Interested in Sherwood, Celebrini’s Olympic Fate Revealed Wednesday Morning
Macklin Celebrini only has to wait two more days to find out if he’s made the Olympics at 19 years old.
The Canadian Olympic Committee announced that it will reveal the men’s hockey roster on Wednesday, Dec. 31 at 9 a.m. PT.
Celebrini and other young phenoms Matthew Schaefer and Connor Bedard, are among those potentially on the bubble of Hockey Canada’s plans for Milano Cortina, while Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, and Connor McDavid are all veteran locks.
Through 39 games played in his sophomore season, the San Jose Sharks superstar has 21 goals and 60 points (and counting), placing him third in the NHL points race, behind McDavid (68) and MacKinnon (64).
