GAME LOG

Bo Groulx - Falls out of favor in February Groulx was scratched for the Ducks' last six games in February.
Impact Groulx saw semi-regular playing time in January, but that dried up with the Ducks getting closer to full health in February. Brett Leason has also emerged from a similar stint in the press box, though Groulx's grittier playing style fits in a bottom-six role better than Leason's. Groulx has just two assists with 27 shots on net, 66 hits and 23 blocked shots over 32 appearances this season, so he's not really an option in fantasy even if he can stick in the lineup.

Gustav Lindstrom - Provides helper Thursday Lindstrom notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Lindstrom saw decent ice time Thursday, but was occasionally skipped in the rotation with Cam Fowler's (face) exit on the first shift of the game leaving the Ducks short on the blue line. The helper was Lindstrom's second in his last four outings. The 25-year-old blueliner has six points, 20 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-8 rating over 25 appearances between the Ducks and the Canadiens this season. His limited role with no power-play time makes the Swede a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Radko Gudas - Manages helper in win Gudas notched a shorthanded assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Gudas led the Ducks with 28:14 of ice time after Cam Fowler (face) left the game on the opening shift. The helper, which came on a Brett Leason shortie in the first period, snapped a nine-game point drought for Gudas. The 33-year-old is up to 14 points with 74 shots on net, 100 PIM, 121 blocked shots, 189 hits and a plus-14 rating through 53 appearances. Gudas would likely handle a significant increase in defensive duties if Fowler has to miss time.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Pavel Mintyukov - Picks up assist Thursday Mintyukov notched a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Mintyukov earned the first shorthanded point of his career when he set up Brett Leason's first-period tally. The 20-year-old Mintyukov topped 20 minutes of ice time for the first time since Dec. 5 with Ilya Lyubushkin getting scratched for a trade and Cam Fowler (face) exiting the game after one shift. Mintyukov is up to 24 points, 67 shots on net, 66 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 48 appearances this season. Mintyukov would likely slot onto the first power-play unit if Fowler's injury costs him playing time.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Jackson LaCombe - Pressed into action LaCombe notched a pair of power-play assists and two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact The Ducks dealt Ilya Lyubushkin to the Maple Leafs right after the game started, forcing LaCombe to play with the veteran scratched for the trade. The 23-year-old LaCombe responded with his second multi-point effort of the campaign, snapping a five-game skid. The rookie blueliner has 11 points, 45 shots on net, 40 hits, 92 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating through 52 outings this season. With the Ducks' blue line thinned by the trades of Jamie Drysdale and Lyubushkin, LaCombe should see something close to an everyday role down the stretch.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Strome - Contributes two power-play helpers Strome notched a pair of power-play assists and two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Strome has picked up three helpers over his last five contests, all on the power play. The 30-year-old has seen most of his time in February as the third-line center on a line with Isac Lundestrom and Jakob Silfverberg. Strome is up to 33 points (13 on the power play), 98 shots on net, 69 PIM, 42 hits and a minus-15 rating through 56 appearances this season. Without top-six minutes or access to the Ducks' burgeoning young talent, Strome is a risky fantasy play.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Isac Lundestrom - Fills empty net Lundestrom scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Lundestrom has scored in consecutive games after beginning February with no points over seven appearances. The 24-year-old forward is up to four goals, six points, 21 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-3 rating through 23 outings overall. He's seeing steady third-line usage, but his limited offense makes him unlikely to be helpful to most fantasy managers.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Brett Leason - Nets shortie Thursday Leason scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Leason has three points over two games since he returned from a six-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old's tally Thursday gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead in the first period. Leason is far from a lock for the lineup, though he could benefit if the Ducks offload forwards at the trade deadline -- as long as he's not one of the players on the move. Leason is up to eight goals, 15 points, 65 shots on net, 49 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 45 appearances. His tally Thursday was his first career special-teams point.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Leo Carlsson - Rediscovers goal column Carlsson scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Carlsson hadn't scored since Dec. 5, a span of 22 contests without a goal. He missed time with a knee injury in there, adding nine assists and 38 shots on net during the goal drought. The rookie center is up to nine tallies, 23 points, 79 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 40 outings overall. Carlsson figures to see ample ice time in a top-six role down the stretch.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Frank Vatrano - Finds twine on power play Vatrano scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Vatrano helped stem off a Sharks rally with a power-play marker late in the second period. The winger had gone two contests without a point entering Thursday, his longest drought since mid-January. Vatrano is up to 27 goals, 46 points, 182 shots on net, 116 hits, 62 blocked shots, 69 PIM and a minus-19 rating over 59 appearances. While his shooting percentage is still lofty at 14.8 percent, it's come down throughout the campaign with little impact on his role or production. Vatrano should continue to see top-six minutes and power-play time.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Killorn - Goal, assist in win Killorn scored a goal on four shots, supplied an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Killorn set up a Leo Carlsson tally in the first period before scoring a goal of his own in the second. This was Killorn's first multi-point effort since Jan. 15, though he missed nine games in that span with a knee injury. The 34-year-old forward has seen top-six usage when healthy in 2023-24, picking up eight goals, 15 helpers, 93 shots on net, 45 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-16 rating through 40 appearances.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Henrique - Erupts for three points Henrique scored a power-play goal, dished two assists, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Henrique earned his first multi-point effort in eight contests, leading the Ducks' offense in the high-scoring game. The 34-year-old crossed the 40-point mark Thursday -- he's now at 17 goals, 24 helpers, 10 power-play points, 109 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 58 appearances. With a quarter of the season left, Henrique has time to get back to the 50-point mark for the first time since 2017-18, though it's unclear if he'd get as many premium minutes if the Ducks decide to trade him to a contender.

John Gibson - Escapes San Jose with win Gibson stopped 24 of 28 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact The Sharks' top six and power play did plenty of damage, but the Ducks were up the task of matching it. Gibson ended February with three wins in seven appearances, allowing 22 goals in the month. For the season, the 30-year-old is at 13-20-2 with a 3.15 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 39 appearances. Those aren't great numbers, and the Ducks' trade of Ilya Lyubushkin to the Maple Leafs takes experience off the blue line, which could lead to Gibson facing more shots late in the season. The Ducks are at home Friday versus the Devils, with Lukas Dostal likely to start that contest.

Cam Fowler - Exits Thursday's contest Fowler took a puck to the face and won't return to Thursday's game versus the Sharks, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Impact Fowler was hit in the chin early in the first period. The defenseman was bleeding heavily as he left the ice, and it's apparently a significant enough injury to keep him out of the rest of the contest. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Devils.
