San Jose Sharks star rookie Macklin Celebrini has a hip injury.

That's what multiple sources tell San Jose Hockey Now.

"Didn't sound alarming," one source said. "Opening night, he played through it."

The Sharks announced Saturday morning that the 2024 No. 1 overall draft pick had been placed on injured reserve with what they called a week-to-week lower body injury. Celebrini will be out at least one week, and the Oct. 18 game at the Winnipeg Jets will be the earliest date that he'll be eligible to return.
