With significant contributions, these three rookies are viewed as central to the Sharks’ future success, surpassing challenges and showcasing their growth within the league.
Great effort for all those three guys. They already are great players, but they're going to be even better players in this league in the future.
Just trying to get better every night. I can make plays.
Celebrini lived another dream Monday night as he took the opening faceoff against Crosby, his childhood hero and one of the NHL's most decorated players.
After some rough patches, Smith now has 21 points, fifth most among all rookies.
