Celebrini is the real deal, and he's already made the Sharks a more exciting team in 2024-25 than they were for much of 2023-24. |

Celebrini scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings. - The star prospect scored his fourth goal of the season, and while there will be many more to come in his career, this is likely the most important one so far. He has four goals in eight games as an 18-year-old rookie, and while there will be growing pains and some consistency issues as he navigates his first year in the league, there's no question Celebrini is as talented as advertised. |

Celebrini (lower body) told reporters he was going to be back in the lineup against Columbus on Tuesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. - Celebrini was back in his first-line center role at Monday's practice session and should link up with the No. 1 power-play unit as well. Prior to getting hurt, the 18-year-old rookie played in just one game but was stellar with one goal and one assist. With his injury woes hopefully behind him, Celebrini should still be capable of challenging for the 60-point threshold. |

Celebrini (lower body) will not be with the Sharks for their upcoming three-game road trip, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Monday. - Given his placement on injured reserve, Celebrini's absence for this three-game trip shouldn't come as a surprise. It's a tough blow for the 18-year-old center, especially considering how impressive he was in his NHL debut, racking up a goal and an assist versus the Blues. Whenever the 2024 first-overall pick is cleared to play, he should reclaim his spot on the first line and No. 1 power-play unit. |

Celebrini scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues. - Celebrini's first period of NHL play went about as well as it could. He scored on his first shot, opening the scoring at 7:01 of the first period. Just over 10 minutes later, he set up Tyler Toffoli's goal, securing a multi-point debut for Celebrini. The No. 1 overall pick from 2024 will have every opportunity to put up big numbers as the new centerpiece of the Sharks' offense. Fantasy managers who can stomach a plus-minus rating that's likely to be in the red should not hesitate to deploy Celebrini on a regular basis. |

Celebrini (lower body) is doing well but will miss Friday's preseason game against Anaheim, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now on Thursday. - Celebrini might still be fine for next Thursday's Opening Night against St. Louis. The 2024 NHL Draft's No. 1 overall pick is going into the season as a likely contender for the Calder Trophy, and the rebuilding Sharks are expected to lean on him heavily. Connor Bedard averaged 19:47 of ice time, including 3:22 with the man advantage, as a rookie with Chicago last season, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Celebrini receive a similar workload with San Jose. |

Celebrini is listed as day-to-day due to his lower-body injury, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - Celebrini's status as day-to-day should bring a collective sigh of relief to Sharks fans after the 18-year-old rookie was forced to leave Tuesday's matchup with Utah early. At this point, it seems likely the team will take a cautious approach with it's prized, No. 1 overall wunderkind, so fantasy players should probably consider him a doubt ahead of preseason matchups with Anaheim and Vegas on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Barring any setbacks, Celebrini remains poised to fill the first-line center role for Opening Night against the Blues on Oct. 10. |
