Macklin Celebrini is about to get even with Sharks teammate Will Smith.

In January, because Celebrini’s Boston University lost a weekend series to Smith’s Boston College, Celebrini was forced to wear Smith’s BC jersey to a Sharks game.

“He made sure it was the one that he beat us in,” Celebrini noted.

Both star rookies were in college last year, when the Eagles beat the Terriers in the Hockey East Championship.

Celebrini and Smith continued their friendly wager last week, when BU and BC met in the Beanpot final.

This time, Celebrini came out on top, as the scrappy Terriers shut down the high-flying Eagles 4-1.
