San Jose Sharks star center Macklin Celebrini was scratched from Monday's game against the Dallas Stars due to a lower-body injury. The team announced the change just before puck drop, noting that the recently named captain participated in warmups but left the ice early. Former Stars forward Ty Dellandrea made his season debut in Celebrini's place.
Celebrini, the 20-year-old face of the franchise, had assisted on Igor Chernyshov's overtime goal Saturday to improve San Jose's record to 2-0. The injury comes shortly after Celebrini signed a five-year, $94 million contract extension over the summer.
