Brett Leason - Gets on scoresheet with assist Leason produced an assist and two hits in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Leason needed that point -- he'd been scratched in three of the last five games amid scoreless stretch dating back to Oct. 28. The winger is up to four points, 21 shots on net, 20 hits, 10 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-1 rating through 18 appearances. Even when he plays, he rarely sees more than fourth-line minutes, so Leason does not make for a strong option in most fantasy formats.

Urho Vaakanainen - Adds helper in loss Vaakanainen notched an assist in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Vaakanainen snapped a five-game point drought with the assist. The 24-year-old defenseman has played in 17 straight contests after he was scratched for the first four games of the campaign. He's still not adding much offense with four helpers, 18 shots on net and a plus-3 rating this season. He's also logged eight hits, 15 blocked shots and two PIM while serving in a bottom-four role.

Jakob Silfverberg - Logs helper Sunday Silfverberg registered an assist in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Silfverberg snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. He's logged three assists through 12 contests in November, but his last goal was versus the Penguins on Oct. 30. The winger continues to be a depth forward for the Ducks with six points, 28 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 21 outings.

Pavel Mintyukov - Garners assist in loss Mintyukov notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Mintyukov's scoring pace has slowed a bit with just two assists over his last seven outings, though they've come in his last three games. The 20-year-old defenseman has racked up eight hits in that span. He's at 12 points, 36 shots on net, 32 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Max Jones - Scores both goals in loss Jones scored twice and added four hits in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Jones' goals both came in the first period, but that was all the Ducks could muster against Stuart Skinner in this blowout loss. Jones has four points over his last six games, providing effective scoring depth in a bottom-six role. He's at three tallies, three helpers, 30 shots on net, 38 hits, 15 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 18 appearances this season.

John Gibson - Needed in relief Gibson stopped eight of 10 shots in relief of Lukas Dostal in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact The Oilers backed off a bit after chasing Dostal, though Gibson's numbers weren't pretty either. Gibson has lost his last four decisions and allowed 16 goals over his last five outings, erasing a large portion of his strong start to the campaign. The 30-year-old is now at a 2.69 GAA and a .911 save percentage with a 4-8-0 record through 14 outings. The Ducks have another tough road matchup ahead when they visit the Canucks on Tuesday.

Lukas Dostal - Pulled in second period Dostal allowed six goals on 16 shots in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Dostal was pulled after Zach Hyman's second goal of the game at 7:20 of the second period, with John Gibson stepping in for a relief appearance. This ended up being Dostal's third straight loss, and he's allowed 19 goals in that span. His strong October is a distant memory, and with the Ducks now on a six-game losing streak, there's a chance Alex Stalock could soon be summoned from AHL San Diego if Dostal can't right the ship. Overall, Dostal is 5-4-0 with a 4.30 GAA and an .878 save percentage across nine outings.

Leo Carlsson - Out Sunday Carlsson (undisclosed) will not dress against the Oilers on Sunday.

Impact Carlsson has been given periodic rest so far this season but it's unclear if he's dealing with an injury this time around or not. The rookie center has six goals and nine points through 16 games but has been held to two assists over his last five appearances. Anaheim's next game will be in Vancouver on Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Dostal - Guarding cage Sunday Dostal will get the starting nod in Edmonton on Sunday.

Impact Dostal will make his first appearance since coughing up eight goals on 38 shots against the Avalanche on Nov. 15. He's taken a loss in his last two games, yielding 13 goals on 73 shots during that span. Despite his 5-3-0 record, the 23-year-old is sporting an unsightly .893 save percentage and 3.77 GAA through eight outings.

Ryan Strome - Notches assist Friday Strome posted an assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Strome ended his five-game point drought with the helper. While he remains on the second line, he hasn't kept pace with the success of linemates Frank Vatrano and Mason McTavish over November, with Strome accumulating only four assists over his last 10 outings. The forward is at two goals, 13 helpers, 37 shots on net, 16 PIM, 12 hits and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances this season.

Troy Terry - Supplies assist in loss Terry notched a power-play assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Terry snapped a four-game point drought by helping out on Alex Killorn's third-period marker. Since his hat trick Nov. 1 versus the Coyotes, Terry has mustered just four assists over his last 10 contests. The 26-year-old is at 13 points (four on the power play), 45 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 20 appearances. At this pace, he'll have a tough time getting to the 60-point mark for a third consecutive campaign.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Frank Vatrano - Adds helper Friday Vatrano notched an assist, three shots on goal, four PIM and five hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Vatrano has continued his early surge to the quarter-pole of the season, racking up eight points over his last seven games. The 29-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, seven helpers, 69 shots on net, 38 hits, 31 PIM, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 20 contests this year. He seems like a lock to remain in a top-six role -- he's averaging a career-high 18:31 of ice time and has made the most of the increased usage.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mason McTavish - Registers power-play assist McTavish notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact McTavish set up an Alex Killorn tally in the third period. Over his last three games, McTavish has three goals and two helpers. He's also taken a trip to the penalty box in five of the last six contests, as that remains an issue in his game, though not one that's cost him playing time. The 20-year-old is up to 21 points, 57 shots on net, 26 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 20 appearances.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Radko Gudas - Pots goal Friday Gudas scored a goal on three shots, added four PIM, levied two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Gudas had cooled off after a recent three-game point streak, but he's still had a productive November. The defenseman has three goals and three helpers over 11 contests this month, accounting for all but one of his points through 20 outings overall. He's added 55 hits, 46 blocked shots, 37 PIM, 27 shots on net and a plus-6 rating while averaging 19:10 of ice time, his most since 2016-17.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Killorn - Scores on power play Killorn scored a power-play goal on four shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact The goal was Killorn's first of the season, coming in his 10th game since he returned from a broken finger. The 34-year-old was always likely to slow down on offense after posting point totals of 59 and 64 in the last two seasons with the Lightning, as a move to the Ducks was a downgrade. He's bounced around the lineup so far, picking up four points, 20 shots on net and a minus-6 rating.
