Racking up points and cracking the Canadian Olympic roster at just 19, Macklin Celebrini is drawing comparisons to the NHL's best. But the leader of Canada's next generation is a player all his own, writes @SachdevaSonny. sportsnet.ca/nhl/longform/i…

In fleeting moments, you see it — the truth in the lofty comparisons being drawn between Macklin Celebrini and Sidney Crosby. But the teenager is a star all his own. An inside look at the meteoric ascent that made Canada's Celebrini impossible to ignore: sportsnet.ca/nhl/longform/i…

There were signs on Monday night that the Penguins have found new life in 2025-26. It starts with the 18-year-old who seemed to find himself in the centre of the fray every time he took the ice: Ben Kindel. (@SachdevaSonny) sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/am…

The pain of answering the difficult questions year after year is one side of the coin — the other is the possibility of what it all would look like if these Leafs were able to break through. "It's a privilege to play under pressure." (@SachdevaSonny) sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/ma…
