"It didn't take long for San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini to make an impact for Team Canada at the Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina. Stationed in front of the net in the opening period of Canada's first game, Celebrini redirected defenseman Cale Makar's shot from the point past goalie Lukas Dostal with just 5.7 seconds left before intermission, giving Canada a 1-0 lead over Czechia on Thursday at Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena."
"Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid retrieved the puck inside the Czechia zone and sent a cross-ice pass to Makar. The Colorado Avalanche defenseman's shot was just below shoulder height, and Celebrini reached out with his stick and directed it down past Dostal, who plays with the Anaheim Ducks. MACKLIN CELEBRINI GOAL. CALE MAKAR ASSIST. Team Canada grabs their first goal of the Winter Olympics!"
"At 19, Celebrini is the youngest NHL player in the men's hockey tournament in Milan. He began the tournament on Canada's top line alongside McDavid and Tom Wilson of the Anaheim Ducks. Canada later took a 2-0 lead on a goal by Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone with 13:20 left in the second period."
