Save our Soulebrini

Writer Rachel Greenstein argues that San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky is overworking Macklin Celebrini following a 4-3 road loss to the Dallas Stars. Greenstein criticizes the coaching staff for relying too heavily on the 20-year-old captain amid the Sharks' five-game losing streak. She points out that Celebrini logged over 28 minutes of ice time against Dallas, warning that such excessive usage creates a severe risk of burnout and injury.

Greenstein notes that Celebrini leads San Jose with 21 points in 17 games, but contends the team possesses sufficient young talent, including Will Smith and William Eklund, to distribute the workload. The writer urges Warsofsky to utilize the roster's depth rather than permitting Celebrini to continually double shift.
