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. |

He was ruled out at the start of the third period. The No. 1 overall pick is a virtual lock for the Sharks' roster if he is able to recover from this injury by Opening Night on Oct. 10 versus the Blues. |
