Trevor Zegras To Miss Six Weeks Following Knee Surgery

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras has undergone successful knee surgery and is expected to miss approximately six weeks of action. The exciting forward has already sat out three games with a torn meniscus in his right knee. Zegras has had a difficult campaign, and the injury is another setback for him. But it's good to know he will be out for weeks, not months. The 23-year-old has recorded four goals and 10 points in 24 outings this season. Brett Leason has joined the top-six group during Zegras' absence, but he isn't a reliable source for fantasy value.

Leo Carlsson Returns From Six-Game Absence

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson (upper body) will return from a six-game absence on Wednesday against Ottawa. The Swedish pivot suffered an upper-body injury a couple of weeks ago just as he was enjoying a good offensive spell. Carlsson re-enters the lineup on Wednesday with five points (two goals, three assists) posted in his last seven appearances. He's on six goals and 11 points in 20 games for the season. Carlsson is expected to skate with Cutter Gauthier and Alex Killorn. Mason McTavish will play a smaller role in the Ducks attack with Carlsson back.

Troy Terry Nets Two Goals In Losing Effort

Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry scored two goals on six shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout defeat against Montreal. His second goal of the night came in a power-play situation. The two-goal effort gives Terry eight markers for the season, with half of them having come on the power play. He's on a team-high 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) through 26 outings. After enjoying an eight-game point streak in October, Terry has been inconsistent offensively, but he's the runaway leader in scoring on the team. The next best Duck, Frank Vatrano, sits on 13 points. Only two teams are averaging fewer goals than Anaheim, which impacts everybody's offensive output in the squad.

Jacob Trouba Traded To Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks have acquired defenseman Jacob Trouba from the New York Rangers. Defenseman Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) and a conditional 2025 fourth-round pick went in the other direction. The trade was agreed only a couple of hours after the Rangers planned to keep their captain out of Friday's contest against Pittsburgh for "roster management purposes." It was speculated that the club might waive him. Anaheim took on Trouba's entire contract, which carries an $8 million average annual value through the 2025-26 season. Trouba has had a couple of tough campaigns in New York, but he now gets a fresh start and can prove his worth again. The 30-year-old has registered three assists, 46 shots, 68 blocks, and 39 hits across 24 appearances this season.

Trevor Zegras Suffers A Lower-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras suffered a lower-body injury in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Vegas. He was hurt early in the second period and had to be helped off the ice. Zegras might now face a third lengthy absence because of an injury in just over a year. He lost 31 games last season to a broken ankle and a groin injury. The 23-year-old has recorded 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 24 outings this campaign. Anaheim was already without Leo Carlsson (upper body) on Wednesday, so the top-six group has recently taken a couple of rough blows. The injuries might give Cutter Gauthier a chance to nail down a spot on a scoring line.

Cam Fowler Returns To Ducks Lineup

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler (upper body) will return to the lineup on Wednesday against Vegas. The veteran has missed a month of action due to an upper-body injury. Fowler's return will send Pavel Mintyukov to the press box as a healthy scratch. Having earned his lone points via two assists in 12 appearances this season, Fowler has been a disappointment for fantasy managers. The Ducks will need a lot more from him going forward. Fowler will join Radko Gudas on the first defensive pairing for Wednesday's game.

Leo Carlsson Remains Out On Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson (upper body) will miss a fourth straight game on Wednesday versus Vegas. Carlsson has contributed six goals and five assists in 20 games this season. Mason McTavish is set to continue as the first-line center on Wednesday. He's yet to find his feet after returning from an upper-body injury, posting one assist in four appearances with a minus-four rating. McTavish is capable of much more, as shown by his season total of nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 17 outings.

Troy Terry Amasses Three Assists In Victory Over Senators

Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry recorded three assists and scored in the shootout as the team beat Ottawa 4-3 on home ice Sunday. Terry assisted Frank Vatrano on two goals, including once on the power play, and linked up with Vatrano to help Jackson LaCombe get a goal. Terry's night included a whopping nine shots on goal. Despite being very active in front of the net, Terry failed to register a goal, but that has been the story of his season. He's netted just six times with 57 shots on goal. Luckily for fantasy managers, Terry has been a steady source for assists, particularly in recent games. The 27-year-old has put together a four-game point streak with seven assists. He's got 13 assists and 19 points in 23 games for the campaign.

Leo Carlsson Day-To-Day With An Upper-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson (upper body) is considered day-to-day by the team. The 19-year-old talent was hurt on Monday versus Seattle and didn't play in Wednesday's rematch between the two teams. Mason McTavish replaced Carlsson on the first line, bagging an assist on a Trevor Zegras goal late in a 5-2 win. McTavish will have additional fantasy value until Carlsson can make it back into the lineup. The Ducks return to action on Friday afternoon against the Los Angeles Kings.

Mason McTavish Returns To Ducks Lineup Monday

Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish (upper body) will be welcomed back to the lineup on Monday versus Seattle. He has been removed from Injured Reserve ahead of the contest, signaling that McTavish is ready to return from a six-game absence. McTavish was on a three-game point streak before getting injured and has recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) in 13 games for the season. He's done most of his scoring with the man advantage and should see a good amount of power-play time again on Monday. During even-strength play., McTavish will likely be used in a bottom-six role.

John Gibson Busy In Overtime Loss

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson surrendered three goals on 32 shots in their overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday evening. The Ducks got out to a two-goal lead, but the Sabres evened the score late in the second frame with goals by Alex Tuch and Jason Zucker. Then, in overtime, Jiri Kulich sealed the victory for Buffalo. Since making his season debut on November 10, Gibson has carried a solid .906 SV% and 2.71 GAA with a 3-0-1 record. Given his strong play, fantasy managers should expect Gibson and Luka Dostal to continue to split time in the crease, with the veteran likely seeing the slight edge in playing time. After getting out to an impressive start, Dostal has now posted a .890 SV% over his past five games. Gibson's next start tentatively will be on Monday when the Ducks welcome the Seattle Kraken.

Mason McTavish Remains Out On Friday

Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish (upper body) will be sidelined for a sixth consecutive game on Friday against Buffalo. The 21-year-old has rejoined practice and will be re-evaluated on Sunday, so it looks like he is on the cusp of returning. However, Friday's game comes too soon for McTavish, who has recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) in 13 games this season. With McTavish's return, Isac Lundestrom will likely be bumped back to the fourth line. Lundestrom started out well on the third line, scoring a goal in a 4-2 win over Columbus on Nov. 10., but he hasn't added to his points tally since then.

Brett Leason Tallies Three Points In Win Over Stars

Anaheim Ducks right wing Brett Leason produced a three-point outing as the team shocked the Dallas Stars with a 4-2 victory on Monday. Leason potted Anaheim's second goal and collected two assists, including one with the man advantage. The 25-year-old has only recently started to log regular power-play time because the Ducks attack has lost Robby Fabbri (knee) and Mason McTavish (upper body). He has jumped on the third line and has been highly effective, amassing six points (two goals, four assists) in the past four games. Leason sits on seven points (two goals, five assists) in 12 games for the campaign. He's not known as a scorer and likely won't be able to keep up his current form for much longer, but Leason gets a good matchup on Tuesday against the struggling Blackhawks.

Brock McGinn Exits Win With Injury

Anaheim Ducks left wing Brock McGinn sustained a lower-body injury in Monday's 4-2 win at Dallas. He had to leave after eight shifts when McGinn crashed into the boards. The 30-year-old has recorded six points (three goals, three assists) in 17 appearances this season and sits second on the team with 44 hits. Anaheim is back on the ice Tuesday night against Chicago, giving McGinn very little time to recover, and he should be regarded as questionable for the game.

Mason McTavish Lands On Injured Reserve

Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The 21-year-old has been out for three games and doesn't appear to be ready to return in the upcoming games. Despite missing time, McTavish remains Anaheim's third-highest scorer this season, with eight points (two goals, six assists) amassed in 13 outings. Isac Lundestrom has seen an uptick in minutes during McTavish's absence, but he's more of a defensive-minded center and doesn't provide anything for fantasy managers. Lundestrom is on three points (two goals, one assist) with 14 games played this campaign.

Cam Fowler  • D  •  Ducks

Cam Fowler To Miss 2-4 Weeks

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler (upper body) is expected to miss 2-4 weeks. He has already been out for four games, and it looks like we won't be seeing him until December. The veteran defenseman has been limited to two assists in 12 games with 10 shots. However, he's averaged close to two blocks per game, and the Ducks will surely miss Fowler's defensive ability. Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) stepped into the lineup to cover for Fowler, but he has also suffered an injury. Drew Helleson was the next man up against Detroit on Friday. He tallied two assists in his season debut. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a repeat of the performance because Helleson is mainly seen as a physical presence on the team.

Robby Fabbri  • LW  •  Ducks

Robby Fabbri Out Six Weeks Following Surgery

Anaheim Ducks forward Robby Fabbri (knee) is expected to miss six weeks of action. According to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, Fabbri had meniscus surgery on Friday morning. He will miss a second consecutive game when the Ducks face Detroit on Friday. After joining from the Red Wings in the summer, Fabbri has badly struggled on his new team, posting two goals in 14 games. Brett Leason has moved up to the third line. Leason had two assists in the new role in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Vegas, but he isn't known for producing offense and should be ignored by fantasy managers.

Urho Vaakanainen  • D  •  Ducks

Urho Vaakanainen Out On Friday

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Urho Vaakanainen (undisclosed) will not be available for Friday's clash with Detroit. He missed Thursday's practice and is expected to be replaced in the lineup by Drew Helleson, who was called up from the minors earlier in the week. Vaakanainen has skated in five contests with the Ducks this season, recording one assist with three shots and seven blocks. Helleson has seen action in only a handful of NHL games so far, featuring three times in 2022-23. He has zero points with 14 penalty minutes in 12 AHL appearances this season. The 23-year-old is expected to provide physicality on the third defensive pairing.

Cam Fowler Placed On Injured Reserve

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler (upper body) was placed on Injured Reserve Tuesday. He's set to miss a third consecutive game on Wednesday versus Vegas. Even when he was healthy, Fowler struggled to make an impact and has only two assists in 12 games to his name, with 10 shots and 20 blocks. Urho Vaakanainen has secured a spot in the lineup with Fowler out. He's only seeing third-pairing minutes and shouldn't be on fantasy managers' radars. Pavel Mintyukov has had an uptick in minutes lately, but he's been out of form this season.

Robby Fabbri Lands On Injured Reserve

Anaheim Ducks forward Robby Fabbri (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. Fabbri has skated in all 14 games this season but is now looking at a spell on the sidelines. The 28-year-old has been quiet in 2024-25, recording two goals and zero assists with 13 shots on goal. Mason McTavish (upper body) is also dealing with an injury, meaning Anaheim's attack might have a significantly different look against Vegas on Wednesday. The injuries could give Cutter Gauthier a chance to move up from the fourth line.
