The San Jose Sharks placed rookie Macklin Celebrini on the injured reserve list on Saturday with a lower-body injury. The move came two days after Celebrini made an impressive debut by recording a goal and an assist in an overtime loss to the St.
Louis Blues on Thursday. 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 preseason with a lower-body injury. Coach Ryan Warsofsky said Celebrini is week to week. Players on injured reserve must miss seven days from the last game they played in.
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, 119 days.
