Last night Macklin Celebrini made his debut against the St. Louis Blues. Before even taking the ice in a game Celebrini already racked up a fine from the NHL. In the game, Macklin Celebrini was as good as advertised. Early on in his debut Macklin Celebrini got on the scoresheet by burying a puck past Joel Hofer.
Later in the game, Macklin Celebrini would add an assist to continue his hot start. Unfortunately, his efforts would not be enough as the San Jose Sharks would fall to the St. Louis Blues 5-4. Now less than a day after making his NHL debut a worrying report from San Jose Sharks head coach David Warsofsky seems to indicate Macklin Celebrini is hurt.
