Ceci produced an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Ceci has two helpers and 13 blocked shots over his last six games. The 30-year-old defenseman is filling a top-four role and should continue to block a lot of shots, but he doesn't add much in hits, PIM or plus-minus rating. For the season, Ceci has three helpers, 23 shots on net, 32 blocks, 20 hits and a minus-6 rating over 17 contests.

Sharks' Cody Ceci: Puts up assist
Rotowire
Ceci logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Ceci has two helpers through 12 contests this season. The 30-year-old has received a big opportunity in San Jose -- he's seeing top-four minutes, to the tune of 22:35 of ice time per game, his largest share since 2018-19. Ceci doesn't have a lot of scoring upside, though he's topped the 25-point mark on four occasions in his first 11 NHL seasons. This year, he's added 17 shots on net, 20 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating.

Sharks' Cody Ceci: Garners helper Friday
Rotowire
Ceci logged an assist in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Jets.
Ceci picked up his first point as a Shark on a goal by Luke Kunin in the second period. Through five games, Ceci has added eight hits, six blocked shots, six shots on goal, four PIM and a minus-3 rating. His non-scoring production can be reliable, but even with a top-four role in San Jose, he's unlikely to score enough to be an option in most fantasy formats.

Sharks' Cody Ceci: Flipped in salary dump
Rotowire
Ceci was traded to the Sharks from the Oilers on Sunday, along with a 2025 third-round pick, in a swap for Ty Emberson.
Ceci is carrying a $3.25 million cap hit while Emberson will now cost the Oilers just $950,000, a move that will likely allow Edmonton to re-sign one or both of Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway. For his part, the 30-year-old Ceci should slot into a top-four pairing for his new club, where he figures to offer 20-25 points while dishing out 100-plus hits and blocks.

He's under contract for 2024-25, but with that being the last year on his deal, the Oilers may shop him around if they want to remodel their blue line.

Oilers' Cody Ceci: Registers assist in win
Rotowire
Ceci notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Sabres.
Ceci snapped a seven-game point drought with his helper on Connor Brown's goal late in the third period.

He's at 19 points, 80 shots on net, 73 hits, 95 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 67 outings this season. With his physical play on the decline this year, Ceci has less appeal in deeper fantasy formats since his scoring hasn't changed much.
