Frank Vatrano Ready To Rejoin Ducks Lineup On Sunday
Anaheim Ducks forward Frank Vatrano (personal) will be back in the lineup on Sunday versus Los Angeles. He missed Friday's matchup against Colorado due to the birth of his child. Vatrano was activated from the non-roster list on Saturday and will likely be reunited with Ryan Strome and Troy Terry on the third line. The trio has a lot of offensive upside, but they haven't quite clicked yet. Vatrano has recorded only one point in three games this season and hasn't found the back of the net, despite lighting the lamp 37 times last term.
Anaheim Ducks forward Frank Vatrano (personal) will not play against Colorado on Friday after he was added to the non-roster list. He will miss the contest to attend the birth of his third child. Vatrano was Anaheim's top scorer last season with 60 points (37 goals, 23 assists) in 82 games but is off to a quiet start in 2024-25. Through three games, Vatrano sits on zero goals and one assist. The team has recalled Jansen Harkins from the minors, and he could make his season debut in Friday's contest. Harkins has never been productive offensively at this level and should be ignored by fantasy managers.
Anaheim Ducks left wing Frank Vatrano scored two goals in Monday's 4-3 victory against the Sabres. Vatrano scored a pair of goals in under three minutes during the second period, while the 29-year-old established a personal career-high in goals for a single season with the multi-goal performance. Vatrano has scored in three consecutive games with six points over that span and carries season totals of 26 goals and 44 points through 55 games to lead the Ducks on the offensive end.
Anaheim Ducks forward Frank Vatrano sparked back into life with a three-point effort in Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Sharks. He scored two of the team's goals and logged an assist. Following a red-hot start to the campaign, which included multiple hat tricks in October, Vatrano had gone scoreless in three of four games before Sunday's matchup. Despite the recent barren spell, Vatrano's stat line is still very impressive, as the 29-year-old has struck 11 goals in 14 games with four assists. The goals have come with a ridiculous 23.4 shooting percentage, meaning Vatrano's productivity in front of goal should take a major dip at some point. He's been a 10.7 percent career shooter.
Anaheim Ducks forward Frank Vatrano, who is among the league's top goal-scorers with nine markers, left the hard work to others on Sunday and finished a 4-2 victory over the Golden Knights with two assists. He had a power-play assist when Adam Henrique sparked a third-period comeback for the Ducks, and Vatrano set up Mason McTavish in an even-strength situation for the game-winning goal 3:40 from the end of regulation. Vatrano has been playing the best hockey of his life so far in 2023-24, averaging over a point per game with 12 points (nine goals, three assists) collected in 11 outings. He's skating with McTavish and Ryan Strome, who have also been highly productive early in the year.

Anaheim Ducks forward Frank Vatrano had a historic outing on Sunday against the Hurricanes, becoming the first player in franchise history to score a hat trick in the team's home opener. The 29-year-old helped the Ducks secure a 6-3 victory by scoring in each period. He completed his fourth career hat trick with an empty-net goal near the end of regulation. Vatrano had a career year last term with 41 points in 81 games, producing his second 20-goal campaign with 22 markers. Based on Sunday's effort, Vatrano looks ready to do even better in 2023-24. He was truly like a man on a mission against Carolina, leading all skaters with six shots on goal and four blocked shots while also handing out two hits.
Anaheim Ducks forward Frank Vatrano scored twice in a 5-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche Sunday. Vatrano also had four shots on goal and was on goal plus-1. Been a rough season in Anaheim, but Vatrano has had a decent season, with 22 goals and 19 assists in 79 contests. With just three games left, the winger will likely stay on the team's first line and the point on the second power-play unit.
Anaheim Ducks winger Frank Vatrano (personal) will be back in the lineup for Monday's clash with the Avalanche. He became a father over the weekend and didn't play Saturday against St. Louis. The 29-year-old has scored in both of his last two appearances, and it's been a solid season in general for Vatrano, who has tallied 18 goals and 36 points in 72 games. He's also made an impact without the puck, registering 80 hits and 68 blocks.
Anaheim Ducks winger Frank Vatrano won't play Saturday against St. Louis for personal reasons. The 29-year-old is dealing with a family matter and will drop out of the lineup after scoring in back-to-back games. The Ducks haven't had a lot of reasons to cheer about in 2022-23, but they will be happy with Vatrano's contribution over the course of the season, as the former Panther has tallied 18 goals and 18 assists in 72 games. Vatrano needs to add just four more points to his tally to set his new scoring record. He is expected to be back Monday versus Colorado. Max Comtois will assume his duties on Saturday.
Anaheim Ducks winger Frank Vatrano factored in two goals during Friday's 6-3 defeat to Los Angeles, notching an assist on a Kevin Shattenkirk marker and providing the team's final goal. Times are difficult in Anaheim, but Vatrano has had some joy lately, posting seven goals and three assists across his past nine appearances. He had managed 14 goals and 14 assists in 56 games overall this season. Vatrano's ugly minus-23 rating likely puts off many fantasy managers, but he's actually gone plus-three during his recent hot spell and looks like a decent pickup in his current form.
Anaheim Ducks left wing Frank Vatrano played a crucial role in leading his team to a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in overtime on Tuesday. Vatrano contributed by scoring the game-winning goal while registering one shot on net, one blocked shot, and one hit in the contest.

The Ducks were 3-1 down before Vatrano's second goal of the night helped to spark a comeback late in the second period. He completed his third career hat trick with an empty-net goal inside the final minute. The Ducks have struggled badly all season and it's also had a negative effect on Vatrano's number. He has managed only 11 goals and 23 points in 49 games, carrying a minus-22 rating. Five of Vatrano's points have come across the last two games, so he's hit some hot form, but it's unlikely that it will last for long.
New York Rangers winger Frank Vatrano needed just 18 seconds to score twice in the opening period in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win against Buffalo. He opened the scoring 3:59 into the period and managed to get the two fastest goals by a Rangers player since Jaromir Jagr netted twice inside 15 seconds on Nov. 12, 2005. The 28-year-old sniper has now scored in back-to-back games, making it four goals in six games overall for the team. He's moved up to the top line and it's given his fantasy stock a big boost. Fantasy managers should check if Vatrano is available as the Rangers start a nice four-game week on Tuesday.
New York Rangers winger Frank Vatrano is expected to join the first line for Friday's matchup against Pittsburgh. He will skate with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad, which puts the former Panther in very good company. Vatrano has started life in New York with one goal in four games. It was an empty-netter in a 2-0 win over Carolina, so Vatrano hasn't quite got going yet in his new surroundings. Andrew Copp is set for second-line duty on Friday and Alexis Lafreniere drops down to the third line.
Florida Panthers winger Frank Vatrano was traded to the New York Rangers on Wednesday for a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. The Panthers cleared up over $2.5 million of cap room with the move, while the Rangers add a winger who is nearing 100 career goals. Vatrano failed to establish himself as a top-six forward as a Panther, but he generates a lot of shots and it's helped him to get nine goals and 19 points this season despite averaging only 12:11 of ice time. His career numbers stand at 93 goals and 157 points through 379 appearances. The 28-year-old sniper could be an intriguing fantasy piece if he finds a way to stick in the top six in New York.

He scored a power-play goal to take the game into the extra frame and tallied an assist as Alex Wennberg ended the contest 1:25 into overtime. Noel Acciari notched the team's opener. The Panthers are currently without a number of key forwards, but they still managed to get the job done. Vatrano, who had a game-high six shots on Thursday, scored his 11th goal of the season, which put him tied for the fifth spot on the team's goals list. The 26-year-old is a pure sniper who now has 104 shots to his name in 37 games. He will finish off the week against Columbus in a back-to-back set over the weekend.

Frank Vatrano Finishes Off Superb Panthers Comeback

The Cats found themselves 2-0 down entering the final six and a half minutes of play but pulled off an improbable victory with Alexander Barkov and Anton Stralman starting the scoring. Vatrano had a busy night with three shots, four hits, and one block in 14:32 of ice time. He now has five goals and seven points for the year. Vatrano averaged close to 0.5 points per game over the past couple of seasons, so 2020-21 hasn't been great for him so far, but the Panthers are a high-scoring team and the 26-year-old gets some power-play time, so he should improve his production as the season goes on.
