"It sucked playing one game and then having to sit out for a bit," Celebrini said in his first media availability since opening night. "But it was the right thing to do, I'm feeling great right now and can't wait to get back out there."
Macklin Celebrini says that he hurt his hip during an Oct. 1 preseason match with Utah Hockey Club, when Kevin Stenlund tripped him. "It was feeling really good and then re-aggravated it during the first game, first shift," he reported.
The rookie admitted that he pushed himself maybe more than he should have. "I didn't want to not play in that game, so I kind of stuck through it. But at the end of the game, something didn't feel right," Celebrini said, confirming that the injury worsened throughout the Sharks' 5-4 OT loss to the St. Louis Blues.
