San Jose Sharks captain Macklin Celebrini was a late scratch for Monday's game against the Dallas Stars due to a lower-body injury, the team announced.
Celebrini was on the ice for pregame warmups but left early. It's unclear how he sustained the injury.
The 20-year-old has posted five assists in two games this season. He finished fourth in Hart Trophy voting last season after racking up 115 points in 82 games as a sophomore.
Ty Dellandrea entered the lineup for Celebrini, while Alexander Wennberg took the captain's place centering the first line.
