Assisted by Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci, it was the first overtime goal of Celebrini’s young NHL career.
Celebrini’s overtime heroics – like his NHL debut goal – are the exact glimpses that have the 18-year-old positioned as one of the league’s most promising players.
San Jose’s No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NHL Draft is up to four goals and one assist in eight games played this season.
Early on, an injury limited Celebrini’s time on the ice, but the rookie has done his part to flash his gifted skills when given the chance.
