San Jose Sharks rookie forward Macklin Celebrini is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, the team said Wednesday.
Celebrini's status had been in question after he left a 3-1 preseason loss to the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday. Celebrini was on a breakaway when he skated toward the Utah net and fired a close-range shot with Utah forward Kevin Stenlund closing in on the play.
Celebrini tripped over Stenlund's stick after the shot, and he appeared to roll his left ankle and lose his balance before crashing into the boards with 13:13 remaining in the second period. Celebrini needed a few seconds to get up before finishing the rest of his shift.
