Sidney Crosby asked to play with Macklin Celebrini.
That’s what Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Dean Evason, who coached Crosby and Celebrini at the 2025 World Championships, said on Tuesday at Blue Jackets’ morning skate.
“Said a lot when Crosby came over [for Worlds], we asked him who would you like to play with? He said Celebrini,” Evason said.
Alex Nedeljkovic will start.
Nick Leddy will come in for the injured Shakir Mukhamadullin (day-to-day).

Vincent Desharnais (upper-body) and Adam Gaudette (lower-body) are close, but still day-to-day.
Mukhamadullin (upper-body) is also considered day-to-day and has been placed on IR.
Also, Michael Misa is officially back on the San Jose Sharks’ 23-man roster, in place of Mukhamadullin. He has two games left before the Sharks have to decide whether they will burn the first year of his entry-level contract.
