San Jose Sharks rookie centerman Macklin Celebrini idolized Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby as a young kid. He owned a Crosby jersey and a Crosby stick and remembers seeing him hoist the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in both 2016 and 2017.
Saturday night, Celebrini saw Crosby score career NHL goal No. 599 early in the second period to give the Penguins a three-goal lead. But he also saw the Sharks respond for the second time in five days by scoring three straight goals to tie the game.
