SAN JOSE — Macklin Celebrini didn’t take long at all to pick up his first career NHL goal.
The San Jose Sharks’ rookie No. 1 overall pick took just 7:01 to put the Sharks up 1-0, getting the puck past St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer on a deflected pass in the crease. Celebrini’s goal was assisted by William Eklund and Jake Walman.
