Macklin Celebrini

Celebrini averages 3.5 shots per game in his recent work, so the six he put on net Saturday show the kind of volume that drives his production. He skates 21:12 a night and leads San Jose skaters with 3:40 of power-play time per game. Three games remain for the Sharks this week, on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday.

His recent averages show 0.44 goals and 0.75 assists per game, with 0.36 power-play points mixed in. He adds 0.5 hits and 0.6 blocks per game, though he posted no hits against Dallas. The process grade of 72 out of 100 suggests his point totals reflect his underlying play rather than shooting luck or percentages.

What to do

• Keep Celebrini rostered in all formats as a first-unit center averaging nearly 1.2 points per game.

• Start him in his three remaining games this week on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday.

• Expect more games like this one given his shot volume and 21-plus minutes a night.
