Preseason Preview/Lines #1: Celebrini Will Make Sharks Debut Tonight

It’s just preseason, but it will still be Macklin Celebrini’s San Jose Sharks’ debut.

It will also be his first game at SAP Center. When Celebrini played with the Jr. Sharks in 2019-20, he never caught a game there.

So it’s still a special affair. Celebrini reported that his dad Rick Celebrini, director of sports medicine and performance with the Golden State Warriors, will be in attendance.

The 2024 first-overall pick will center Tyler Toffoli and Klim Kostin, his line through the first three days of camp.

Celebrini joked, of his growing chemistry with veteran sniper Toffoli, “I don’t know if we’re the Sedin brothers yet, but hopefully we can get there.”

Celebrini was also featured on the top power play unit at morning skate with William Eklund, Mikael Granlund, Tyler Toffoli, and Luca Cagnoni.

San Jose Sharks (0-0-0)

Defense looks like Dickinson-Ceci, and not sure about Ferraro, Thompson, Thrun & Cagnoni, but they're part of the game group. Ferraro-Thompson did play together frequently in scrimmages
