Manages assist Saturday Ceci notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.

Ceci is at seven points, 32 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 19 hits and a minus-2 rating, a level of production that offers little fantasy interest.

He's produced a goal, five assists, 19 shots on net, 10 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 21 appearances. Ceci should push for the 20-point mark again, but his relatively modest overall production doesn't make him a particularly strong fantasy blueliner.
