Macklin Celebrini’s car reportedly got hit by Rangers' team bus

In one of the young phenom's worst losses of the season, San Jose star Macklin Celebrini did not record one point against the New York Rangers. Additionally, his car reportedly got hit by the Rangers team bus when leaving the arena Saturday night.

Imagine getting blown out at home, you’re exhausted, and need to get on a plane for a back-to-back game the next day, and you find out a bus hit your parked car. And that bus was full of the guys who beat your team 6-1.

That is reportedly the situation San Jose Sharks' second team-leader Macklin Celebrini had to endure on Saturday night. To say it was not Celebrini's best night would be an understatement. At only 18-years-old, Celebrini is already the second team-leader on the Sharks — only one point away from tying William Eklund. Celebrini currently has 53 points for 21 goals and 32 assists.

But against the Rangers, netminder Jonathan Quick stopped all four his shots on goal. In fact, Quick tallied an incredibly impressive statline — 22 SA, 1 GA, 21 SV, .955 SV% on the evening. To be more specific, Quick left Celebrini shaking his head after a point-blank save in the third period.

But back to Celebrini, talk about a bad night — his team got blown out by a team on their final stop in their West Coast road trip and he couldn't record a single point. To top it all off, his car got hit by the Blueshirts' bus while the Rangers were on there way out.

Not a fun day for the Sharks, but really not a fun day for the 18-year-old.

Editor's Note — The NHL, New York Rangers, San Jose Sharks and Macklin Celebrini have all not released official statements on this matter.
