Cam Fowler - Supplies power-play assist Fowler notched a power-play assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Fowler finished the campaign on a five-game assist streak. The 32-year-old dealt with some challenges as the most veteran member of a young defense corps, but he came away with 39 points, 109 shots on net, 119 blocked shots and a minus-36 rating. Fowler remains productive on offense and a minutes-eater defensively, though his fantasy utility varies by format, and that's likely to remain true in 2024-25.

Impact Zegras put together a strong finish with two goals and six helpers over his last eight games. The 23-year-old's injury-plagued fourth season saw him post 15 points, 73 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 31 appearances. He saw time at center and on the wing, so it's unclear where he might play to begin 2024-25, but he should be able to maintain a top-six role.

Leo Carlsson - Pockets helper Carlsson posted an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Carlsson had five points over seven outings in April to salvage a positive finish to an eventful rookie year. He was strong with 29 points, 109 shots on net and a minus-11 rating, but between workload management and injuries, he ended up playing just 55 games. Carlsson figures to be the Ducks' top-line center in 2024-25, though the team around him will need to be stronger to help him build up his production.

Ryan Strome - Dishes pair of helpers Strome logged two assists, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Strome ended 2023-24 on a 19-game goal drought, earning just five assists in that span. He was far from consistent this season, but he had a much stronger first half of the campaign. Overall, the 30-year-old forward produced 11 goals, 30 helpers, 131 shots on net, 64 hits, 86 PIM and a minus-20 rating over 79 appearances in a middle-six role.

Jackson LaCombe - Two points in Thursday's win LaCombe scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

He produced 17 points, 55 shots on net, 129 blocked shots, 50 hits and a minus-24 rating in 71 appearances while filling a top-four role most of the time.

Frank Vatrano - Ends career year with hat trick Vatrano recorded a hat trick in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Vatrano opened the scoring with a power-play tally in the second period, then added an even-strength goal and a shorthanded empty-netter to finish the hat trick in the third. It's a fitting finish to the campaign for the 30-year-old, who broke out in a big way this season with 37 goals and 60 points over 82 contests. He added 272 shots on net, 156 hits, 78 blocked shots, 85 PIM and a minus-20 rating. Vatrano figures to be a veteran leader and mentor for the Ducks in 2024-25, the final year of his current three-year contract.

Lukas Dostal - Wins over Vegas in finale Dostal stopped 32 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

The 23-year-old ends the season at 14-23-3 with a 3.33 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 44 appearances. Dostal is set to fill a similar role for the Ducks next season, though that could change if the team can find a taker for John Gibson's $6.4 million cap hit.

Impact The lower-body injury ended Mintyukov's season early, as the rookie defenseman missed the final eight games. He had 28 points, 85 hits, 65 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating over 63 appearances.

The center had 42 points, 130 shots on net, 67 hits and 86 PIM over 64 appearances. As long as he doesn't need surgery, he should have a good chance to be ready for the start of 2024-25.

Lukas Dostal - Gets starting nod in finale Dostal will guard the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Dostal will end up having played in seven of the Ducks' final eight games. He's gone 2-3-1 with 18 goals allowed over his last six outings. The Golden Knights still have playoff positioning to play for, so this is likely to be a challenging season finale for Dostal in his 44th outing of the campaign.
