Macklin Celebrini has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas with a lower-body injury. The Sharks have not announced a timeline for his return.

Celebrini cannot score from the press box, and his three-game week goes to zero for as long as he is out. His 3:40 a night on the first power-play unit opens up for teammates.
