Jackson LaCombe - Garners power-play helper LaCombe notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and six blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact LaCombe missed the first four games of the year due to an illness, so he's still getting up to speed. He picked up his first point of the year Tuesday by setting up Troy Terry's second-period marker. Over two contests, LaCombe has added four shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He should be in contention for a top-four role and power-play time moving forward, though he could still be an occasional healthy scratch as the Ducks balance having four young blueliners on their NHL roster.

Mason McTavish - Posts power-play assist McTavish notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact McTavish was listed as the fourth-line center Tuesday, but he led all Ducks forwards with 17:50 of ice time. The 21-year-old has had a bit of slow start to the campaign with three helpers over six contests, and his assist Tuesday was his first power-play point. McTavish has added eight shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-1 rating. It's safe to assume he'll rarely be limited to fourth-line usage, but fantasy managers likely want a bit more offense than he's displayed in the early going.

Cutter Gauthier - First multi-point effort Gauthier logged a pair of power-play assists and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Gauthier opened his 2024-25 account by helping out on goals from Troy Terry and Leo Carlsson. The 20-year-old Gauthier is still looking for his first NHL goal, but he remains in a top-line role for the Ducks after a lineup shuffle Tuesday. The rookie winger has picked up just the two assists to go with 13 shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM over six appearances this season.

Alex Killorn - Fills empty cage Killorn scored an empty-net goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Killorn struck from distance to put the game out of the Sharks' reach. After beginning the season with little success on the top line, Killorn was shuffled down to a third-line role alongside Trevor Zegras and Isac Lundestrom in this contest. Through six contests, Killorn has one assist, six shots on net, three hits, two blocked shouts, four PIM and a plus-1 rating. Fantasy managers can wait to see if the 35-year-old finds more consistency on offense before snagging him off the waiver wire.

Leo Carlsson - Scores game-winner on power play Carlsson scored a power-play goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Carlsson's tally restored the Ducks' lead just 41 seconds after Mikael Granlund tied the score at 1-1. The 19-year-old Carlsson had a quiet first two games this season, but he's since picked up three goals and an assist over his last four outings. His tally Tuesday was his first power-play point and second game-winning goal of the young campaign. He's added 14 shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating while playing on the Ducks' top line.

Troy Terry - Stays warm with power-play tally Terry scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Terry stretched his point streak to five games (four goals, one assist), with his only goose egg this year coming on Opening Night. The winger's tally Tuesday opened the scoring in the second period. He's added 15 shots on net and three blocked shots through six appearances. Terry is seeing steady middle-six minutes and remains a reliable points-and-shots option for fantasy purposes.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Dostal - Sharp in Tuesday's win Dostal stopped 27 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Dostal continues to win the games he should, with two of his three victories this year coming against the Sharks. His shutout bid was broken up by Mikael Granlund in the third period, but Leo Carlsson quickly restored the Ducks' lead. Dostal is 3-1-1 with 11 goals allowed on 172 shots over five appearances. John Gibson (abdomen) is expected to travel on the Ducks' upcoming four-game road trip, so Dostal may not be the unquestioned no. 1 goalie for much longer, but he's played well enough to warrant his fair share of starts going forward.

Isac Lundestrom - Ready to rock Lundestrom (upper body) will play Tuesday versus the Sharks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lundestrom will occupy a bottom-six role following his two-game absence, but he is projected to be flanked by offensive players Trevor Zegras and Alex Killorn. The 24-year-old Lundestrom has one goal, three shots on net and five blocked shots in three outings this campaign. His return will relegate Ross Johnston to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Frank Vatrano - Back with team Vatrano (personal) participated in the morning skate, according to Patrick Present of The Hockey News, and will be available to play Tuesday against San Jose.

Impact Vatrano missed Monday's practice to attend the birth of his daughter. He will probably occupy a middle-six role and get time on the top power-play unit versus the Sharks. Vatrano has two assists, six shots on goal, five blocked shots and six hits in four appearances this campaign.

Ryan Strome - Set to play Tuesday Strome (illness) was on the ice for Tuesday's game-day skate, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll be in the lineup to face San Jose.

Impact Strome wasn't able to practice Monday but appears to be good to go for Tuesday's tilt. The 31-year-old center should remain in his second-line center role while also seeing minutes with the No. 1 power-play unit. Heading into the matchup with the Sharks, Strome is riding a three-game point streak during which he has registered two goals on seven shots and one helper.

Lukas Dostal - Guarding home crease Tuesday Dostal will tend twine against the Sharks on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dostal will draw his fifth start of the 2024-25 season, and he's been very solid as Anaheim's top goaltender while John Gibson recovers from an appendectomy. Dostal has posted a 2-1-1 record, .930 save percentage and 2.48 GAA through four appearances. The 24-year-old will face a reeling San Jose club Tuesday -- the Sharks are 0-4-2 while averaging 2.00 goals for per game, which is tied for last in the NHL.

Pavel Mintyukov - Back at practice Mintyukov (illness) participated in Monday's practice, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Mintyukov should be available to play Tuesday against San Jose after missing Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. He has compiled two goals, three shots on net, six blocked shots and three hits in four appearances this campaign. With Mintyukov likely to play, Olen Zellweger might be a healthy scratch against the Sharks.

John Gibson - Expected to travel with team Head coach Greg Cronin said Monday that he anticipates Gibson (abdomen) accompanying the Ducks on their upcoming road trip, which begins Saturday against the Rangers, Derek Lee of...

Impact Gibson has missed the first few weeks of the regular season while recovering from an appendectomy, but he appears to be closing in on a return. While it's not yet clear when he could be back in game action, it's encouraging that he'll travel with the team for the upcoming four-game road trip. Once Gibson is able to return, he'll likely compete with Lukas Dostal for the starting goaltender job.

Frank Vatrano - Absent from practice Vatrano didn't practice ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Sharks while awaiting the birth of his child, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Vatrano hasn't found the back of the net in four games this season but did pick up helpers in each of his last two outings. If the 30-year-old winger isn't available against San Jose, the team may have to bring up a player from the minors unless Isac Lundestrom (upper body) is cleared to play.
