Adds assist Tuesday Leason recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Leason has collected two goals and five assists over his last five contests. Prior to that, he had been a healthy scratch in five of six games, but it's clear he doesn't want to go back to the press box any time soon. The 25-year-old is at eight points, 14 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 13 appearances this season. Leason probably won't sustain his recent pace -- he typically fills a bottom-six role with fewer chances to produce offense.

Dishes pair of helpers Zegras recorded two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Zegras played an integral role in the win, helping out on third-period goals by Alex Killorn and Leo Carlsson to lift the Ducks to the lead. This was the first multi-point effort of the campaign for Zegras, who has a goal and two assists over his last three outings. The 23-year-old forward is at six points, 34 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 18 appearances, but at least for now, he's trending in the right direction after a slow start over the first month-plus of the season.

Tallies in Tuesday's win Mintyukov scored a goal on three shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Mintyukov has broken free of his early slump, recording three points over his last four games. The 20-year-old defenseman is up to three goals -- one shy of his total from last season -- and five points through 17 outings. He's added 23 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-4 rating. The Ducks' lack of offense is a concern, but Mintyukov can be a multi-category contributor (points, blocks, shots on net) in deeper formats if he can sustain his recent performance.

Nets game-winner Tuesday Carlsson scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Carlsson's tally came at 9:38 of the third period. He's scored six times this season, and four of them have been game-winners. He's tied for the second in the league in the category, even with Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl and one behind Minnesota's Matt Boldy. Carlsson has four points over his last five contests, giving him 10 points, 28 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 18 outings overall in a top-line role.

One of each in win Killorn scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, logged four hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Killorn picked up an assist for the fourth straight game, and he also snapped a seven-game goal drought with the equalizer at 5:10 of the third period. The 35-year-old forward hadn't recorded a multi-point effort this season prior to Tuesday. He's now at three goals, five helpers, 26 shots on net, 20 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 18 appearances.

Earns third win Gibson stopped 18 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact The Blackhawks weren't able to get much going on offense outside of a pair of Jason Dickinson goals. Gibson faced his lightest workload of the season to earn his third straight win, and he's allowed a total of eight goals on 85 shots so far. The 31-year-old netminder has alternated started with Lukas Dostal since Gibson was activated from injured reserve, and that pattern seems likely to continue. It could benefit both netminders by helping them avoid being overworked. The Ducks' next two games are at home -- they play the Sabres on Friday and the Kraken on Monday.

Returns to AHL Hinds was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Hinds came on the Ducks' road trip to serve as an extra defenseman, but he was sent back to the AHL before the second half of a back-to-back when it was clear his services wouldn't be needed. The 21-year-old will have to wait for another opportunity to make his NHL debut.

Out again Tuesday Vaakanainen (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Blackhawks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Vaakanainen is set to miss his third contest with this injury. The 25-year-old defenseman does not have a clear timeline to return. His next chance to play is Friday versus the Sabres.

Unable to play Tuesday McGinn (lower body) won't suit up for Tuesday's game versus the Blackhawks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Impact McGinn was injured in the second period after falling into the boards when he was tripped by Thomas Harley. Sam Colangelo will replace McGinn on the Ducks' fourth line. McGinn's next chance to play is Friday versus the Sabres.

Starting in Chicago Gibson will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Greg Boysen of CHGO Sports reports.
Impact Gibson will get the second half of a back-to-back after Lukas Dostal picked up a 4-2 win over the Stars on Monday. Through two starts this season, Gibson has been solid, winning both outings while allowing six goals on 65 shots. The Blackhawks are a soft matchup, but the Ducks don't tend to score a lot either, so they could struggle to offer sufficient support.

Posts assist in win Mintyukov recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Impact Mintyukov has two helpers over his last three contests. He's turning things around after a 10-game slump, though it helps that he's in a larger role while Cam Fowler (upper body) is sidelined. Mintyukov has four points, 20 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 16 outings.

Produces assist in win Gudas notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Impact Gudas has earned his three helpers this season over the last five games. He also has 10 PIM, 16 hits and 11 blocked shots in that span. The defenseman is up to 54 hits, 47 blocks, 14 PIM, 15 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while filling a top-four role as a defensive specialist for the Ducks.

Shines in win over Dallas Leason posted one goal and two assists, including one in the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Impact Leason was the undisputed star in Monday's huge win for the Ducks, as he got involved in three of the team's four goals. He doubled Anaheim's lead to two goals with a snap shot less than six minutes into the first period, and then provided set-ups in the goals scored by Cutter Gauthier and Jackson LaCombe. The three points in a single game were a season-best mark for the 25-year-old winger, who's trending in the right direction following a slow start to the season. He has two goals and four assists in his last four appearances.

Closes out scoring in win LaCombe scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Impact The 23-year-old blue-liner notched his second goal of the season in the final stages of Monday's contest, taking advantage of set-ups from Brett Leason and Cutter Gauthier to fire the puck home past Casey DeSmith. LaCombe has four points this season, but he's trending in the right direction after recording three of those tallies (two goals, one assist) in his last four contests.

Scores opening goal Monday Zellweger recorded a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Impact Zellweger didn't waste any time to make his presence felt and found the back of the net just 56 seconds into the game to give the Ducks a lead they'd never relinquish. Zellweger has eight points this season, tallying four points and four assists, but he's accounted for 50 percent of that total haul in his last two appearances. The 21-year-old defenseman is certainly trending in the right direction and has shown signs of progressing after posting nine points in 26 games as a rookie in 2023-24.

Scores, assists vs. Dallas Gauthier recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Monday's 4-2 win over Dallas.
Impact Gauthier found the back of the net in the powerplay to give the Ducks a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, and he also assisted in the fourth goal, courtesy of Jackson LaCombe, with 5:28 left in the final frame. This was Gauthier's second multi-point game of the season, and he seems to be gaining steam of late with points in three of his last four appearances.

Snaps losing streak Monday Dostal stopped 34 of 36 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Impact Dostal earned his first win since Oct. 29, when he stopped 40 of 41 shots in a 3-1 victory over the Islanders. Between both wins, the 24-year-old Czech netminder had gone 0-4-1 with a 3.79 GAA and a disappointing .895 save percentage. The Ducks are playing in the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday against the Blackhawks, so Dostal is likely to be rested in favor of John Gibson.
