NHL: San Jose Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini says he’s ready to face the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena

San Jose Sharks standout rookie Macklin Celebrini suffered a lower-body injury against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

The goalie returns to Pittsburgh after being placed on waivers Jan. 15 and assigned to the AHL once he cleared. Joel Blomqvist, a 23-year-old rookie goalie, was sent to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in a corresponding move after allowing six goals on 33 shots in the Penguins’ 6-5 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs on Sunday.
