Ceci logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
This was Ceci's second helper in his last four contests. The 30-year-old defenseman has filled a shutdown role in the Sharks' top four this season, so most of his offense will be by virtue of playing big minutes. He's at a modest four assists with 25 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 22 hits and a minus-6 rating over 20 appearances, averaging 22:36 of ice time.

Rotowire
Ceci logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

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.

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.
