"San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini shed his non-contact jersey for Wednesday's practice, taking the next step in his recovery from an undisclosed illness and opening the possibility of him playing in one of the team's final two preseason games. Celebrini skated in an orange non-contact jersey on Tuesday and has, in recent days, remained out of the team's most physical drills."
"Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky has said Celebrini would need to practice without any restrictions before he could play in a game. Obviously good to get the orange jersey off, Warsofsky said, and we'll see how he progresses. He looks like a Ferrari out there."
"Celebrini will not play in Wednesday's preseason against the Anaheim Ducks, but should be an option to dress for either Friday's game in Vegas against the Golden Knights or Saturday's game in Salt Lake City against the Utah Mammoth. It sucks being out, not participating as much as I wanted to. Things happen, and you've just got to kind of deal with it, Celebrini said Wednesday. But I'm excited for the start of the year and can't wait to actually start playing games."
