Macklin Celebrini sets up three goals in Sharks overtime win

Celebrini's three-assist night matches his high production rate, but fantasy managers already knew what they had in the talented center.

Macklin Celebrini recorded three assists and seven shots in 22:57 of ice time as the Sharks beat the Panthers 4-3 in overtime on Thursday, October 1. The center finished plus-one with one blocked shot in the victory.

The big night reflects the production level Celebrini already brings, not a sudden upgrade. His recent averages sit at 1.19 points per game with 3.5 shots a night, and his underlying play grades 72 out of 100 among forwards in a model that weighs shots, scoring chances and ice time.

Macklin Celebrini

Celebrini averages 0.44 goals and 0.75 assists per game in his recent sample, and he leads the Sharks in power-play time among all skaters at 3:40 a night on the first unit. His 21:12 of total ice time per game places him in a feature role at even strength as well. The seven shots against Florida matched his ability to generate volume, a key reason his process score ranks well above average.

The Sharks play twice more this week, on Saturday and Monday, then three times next week. Celebrini remains a hold at his current production level rather than a trade or waiver target, as his value was established before this three-assist game. His 0.36 power-play points per game and strong shot rate support steady fantasy output across formats.

What to do

• Keep Celebrini active in all formats for his two remaining games this week.

• Treat this performance as typical for his production level, not a reason to buy high.

• Value his shot volume and power-play role as much as the three assists.
