Macklin Celebrini came into the NHL with a ton of fanfare as the top pick in the draft and the immediate face of the franchise for the San Jose Sharks. He has a sidekick in Will Smith, another blue chip prospect and hope for the future of the organization who also doubles as his roommate on the road.

Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith are starting to find their groove a quarter of the way into their first season in the NHL with the San Jose Sharks

Celebrini, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, had seven points (four goals, three assists), including two game-winning goals, to help the Sharks (9-13-5) go 3-1-0 in four games. This came one day after he was named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for November, when he led first-year players in goals (seven) and points (12) in 14 games.
