Isac Lundestrom Day-To-Day With A Lower-Body Injury
Anaheim Ducks center Isac Lundestrom (lower body) is considered day-to-day. The Swedish forward was injured against Florida on Saturday and is expected to miss Tuesday's rematch between the teams. Lundestrom has been limited to four goals and seven points in 44 games this season, so Anaheim will not lose much offensively with him out. Brett Leason, who has picked up 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 37 games, is projected to replace Lundestrom on the fourth line Tuesday night.
Anaheim Ducks center Isac Lundestrom (upper body) is ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday against San Jose. He has been on the shelf for a couple of games because of an upper-body injury. Lundestrom has been limited to a fourth-line role this season, registering one goal in three games with three shots. However, he is projected to move up to the third line to join Trevor Zegras and Alex Killorn. With more talent around him, Lundestrom will be in a better position to perform well offensively. This is also a favorable matchup for the Ducks versus a team that allows over four goals per game (4.17).
Anaheim Ducks center Isac Lundestrom (upper body) will not be available for Friday's meeting with the Avalanche. He got hurt Wednesday night versus Utah and is considered day-to-day. The 24-year-old has worked as Anaheim's fourth-line center this season, scoring one goal in three games. With Frank Vatrano (personal) also absent on Friday night, Ross Johnston and Jansen Harkins look set to enter the lineup. The two will add muscle to the Ducks team, but they cannot be counted on to contribute offensively.
Anaheim Ducks center Isac Lundestrom sustained an apparent upper-body injury in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win against Utah. He exited the game after absorbing a high hit from Nick Schmaltz. The Swedish centerman needed assistance to leave the ice. Lundestrom logged 11:18 of ice time in the contest and registered one shot and one block. Anaheim has used Lundestrom as a fourth-line center this season. He scored a goal in the season opener but has been held without a point since then. Ross Johnston is in line to replace Lundestrom in the lineup if he's unavailable for Friday's matchup against Colorado. Johnston is a big physical presence but rarely provides any offense, so he belongs to the waiver wire in fantasy hockey.
Anaheim Ducks center Isac Lundestrom has been ruled out until January after undergoing surgery for a torn Achilles. He reportedly suffered the injury a few weeks back while running sprints in his native Sweden. Lundestrom also had some injury issues last season and was limited to only 61 games. He totaled 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) as Anaheim's third-line center. Overall, the former first-round pick had managed 26 goals and 58 points in 212 career appearances. Lundestrom will mostly be missed defensively by the Ducks, with the 23-year-old having averaged two minutes of penalty-killing time.
Isac Lundestrom Picks Up An Injury In Sunday's Win
Anaheim Ducks forward Isac Lundestrom suffered a lower-body injury in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win against San Jose, leaving the game after taking only three shifts. The 22-year-old was looking at a chance to play a bigger role after Ryan Getzlaf (lower body) was ruled out for the contest, but an unfortunate turn of events made it impossible for him to do so. He should be considered as day-to-day for now. Lundestrom has been quiet in recent months, but he's enjoyed a solid campaign overall as the third-line center with 25 points in 58 games. With 13 goals to his name, Lundestrom has been Anaheim's fourth-best goal-scorer this season.
Anaheim Ducks forward Isac Lundestrom potted his seventh goal of the season in Thursday's 2-1 shootout win over Columbus, scoring a nice solo goal on a breakaway in the first period. He produced three total shots and blocked two efforts from the opposition in 18:31 of ice time. Lundestrom sat on only 15 career points with 71 games played before the season started, and he's already matched his tally in 28 outings. He's centering the third line for the Ducks, with Derek Grant and Jakob Silfverberg on his wings.
