The San Jose Sharks have announced that rookie Macklin Celebrini will be returning to team activities on Thursday, following a nearly three-week absence due to a lower-body injury. Celebrini, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the NHL draft in June, had an impressive debut with a goal and an assist in an overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues before being sidelined.
According to the team statement, Celebrini has shown positive progress during his recovery period. Coach Ryan Warsofsky stated that Celebrini's status is currently listed as week to week, with ongoing monitoring of his condition. However, there is no specific timeline for his return to game action at this time.
