Sharks’ Macklin Celebrini remains week-to-week with injury

San Jose Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini remains sidelined week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

General manager Mike Grier told reporters that the team will re-evaluate Celebrini’s status in two weeks.

Celebrini was injured after making his regular-season debut where he recorded a goal and assist.

The 18-year-old Celebrini was picked first overall in June and is being counted on to help spark a rebuild in San Jose. He was hampered in the pre-season with a lower-body injury.

Celebrini became the youngest player in NHL history to record two points in the first period of his debut, according to Sportradar, doing it at 18 years, and 119 days. Shane Doan held the previous mark of 18 years, 362 days, when he had two points for Winnipeg against Dallas in 1995.

He also scored the second-fastest first goal ever for a No. 1 pick, with his goal 7:01 into the opener trailing only Mario Lemieux, who scored 2:59 into his debut against Boston on Oct. 11, 1984.

Celebrini had 64 points in 38 games as a freshman at Boston University last season, when he won the Hobey Baker Award as the top college player.
