The Anaheim Ducks prepare to face the San Jose Sharks, featuring Macklin Celebrini, who missed prior matchups due to injury. Following a tough 3-2 loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Ducks look to regain momentum. Celebrini impresses Ducks' coach Greg Cronin with his competitive nature and unique spatial awareness on the ice. Both teams comprise young talents with a history of rivalry, making this clash significant for player development and team dynamics. Cutter Gauthier, familiar with Celebrini from their collegiate days, acknowledges the importance of maintaining a fast, physical game.
"(Celebrini is) a dynamic player, he's extremely competitive... he sees the ice at a 360° view... Heâs gonna be a really good player."
"He kind of does it all, he plays a really good defensive game as a younger player... Heâs a threat every time heâs on the ice and weâve gotta be aware of that tonight."
"We haven't played (the Sharks) in a while, so it'll be a fun test... Theyâre a good young team, kind of similar to us."
"Heâs a shooter, he can shoot and he led the nation in goals last year, so he can score as well."
