Don't Forget The Top Two 2024 NHL Draft Picks Play In Sharks v. Blackhawks Matchup
The hockey world will be interested in Macklin Celebrini vs. Connor Bedard when the San Jose Sharks host the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.
Celebrini vs. 2024 NHL Draft No. 2 overall pick Artyom Levshunov is an underrated storyline that isn’t being talked about.
Unlike Celebrini, Levshunov didn’t start with his NHL team and only recently made his debut for the Blackhawks on March 10th against the Colorado Avalanche.

Celebrini and Levshunov both went the NCAA route for their draft seasons. Levshunov attended and played for Michigan State University. The d-man wasn’t nominated in the 2024 top ten for the Hobey Baker award as the NCAA’s best player.
That season, the nominees included Celebrini, Will Smith, and Collin Graf. Celebrini won the award and became the youngest player to win it at 17.
