SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini will not play in Friday’s preseason game against the Vegas Golden Knights, and coach Ryan Warsofsky said he would be OK if the 19-year-old also didn’t dress in the team’s exhibition finale on Saturday, either.
Celebrini, who missed time at the start of camp with an undisclosed illness, once again skated without any restrictions on Friday morning at the team’s practice facility. The Sharks are expected to dress a mostly NHL-caliber lineup on Saturday in Salt Lake City against the Utah Mammoth. Still, Warsofsky said he wasn’t sure whether Celebrini would be available.
Celebrini’s recovery from his illness cost him a chance to dress for any of the Sharks’ first four preseason games. The Sharks played their final home exhibition game on Wednesday, dressing a mostly NHL-caliber lineup, in a 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
Celebrini said earlier this week that he wanted to play in at least one preseason game before the regular season begins next week. The Sharks begin the year with a three-game homestand, starting with their season-opener on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights.
“Every guy wants to play,” Warsofsky said. “We’re at that moment where, especially our veterans, they’re over training camp. They’re over the exhibition games. They want the live bullets.
“I know (Celebrini) hasn’t played yet. We know that. If he doesn’t play, we’re comfortable. If he does, I know he’ll act like it’s game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals. And that’s the mentality we want. So we’ll see.”
