ANAHEIM DUCKS NEWS

Mason McTavish - Distributes two assists McTavish notched two assists, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact McTavish's line with Frank Vatrano (hat trick) and Ryan Strome (three points) was once again the Ducks' best forward trio. During his four-game point streak, McTavish has two goals and three helpers. He earned one of his assists on the power play Saturday, his first point with the man advantage this season. The 20-year-old center is up to three goals, five helpers, 20 shotso n net and a plus-4 rating through eight contests.

Brett Leason - Tallies in win Leason scored a goal, dished out two hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Leason has scored twice over the last three games. The 24-year-old fourth-liner saw a season-high 13:46 of ice time Saturday, and it appears he's building some security to stay in the lineup as the Ducks work with managing Leo Carlsson's build-up into a full-time NHLer. Leason has three points, 13 shots on net, 14 hits and an even plus-minus rating through eight contests.

Trevor Zegras - Finds twine on power play Zegras scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Zegras has started slow this season, and that included getting benched for part of Tuesday's game in Columbus. His goal Saturday was his first of the season. The 22-year-old has bounced between center and left wing depending on if rookie center Leo Carlsson is in or out of the lineup. Zegras has two points, 24 shots on net, seven blocked shots, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating through eight appearances.

Adam Henrique - Two points in Saturday's win Henrique scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Henrique snapped a three-game slump with his first multi-point effort of the season. The 33-year-old has held down a middle-six role -- he was at center with Benoit-Olivier Groulx out of the lineup Saturday, but Henrique has often played on the wing. Through seven appearances, he's racked up a goal, three helpers, seven shots on net, seven hits, six blocked shots and a minus-1 rating.

Ryan Strome - Three-point effort against Philly Strome scored his second goal of the season and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact He opened the scoring for the Ducks just 58 seconds into the first period, setting the tone for the wild afternoon contest. Strome has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight, and he's exploded out of the gate with 10 points in eight games. He has set a dazzling pace, but he has never scored more than 59 points over a full season.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Frank Vatrano - Pops for second hat trick of season Vatrano scored three goals -- one shorthanded, one on the power play, and one at even strength -- in Saturday's 7-4 victory over the Flyers.

Impact He lit the lamp in each period as he produced his fifth career hat trick and his second already in 2023-24. Vatrano has eight goals in total through eight games this season on only 29 shots, which is a pace that would be impossible to maintain over a full season. Still, Vatrano is too hot to ignore for fantasy purposes at the moment.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Dostal - Plenty of support in third win Dostal made 27 saves in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact The Ducks surged out to a 4-0 lead just before the midway point of the second period, but Dostal had his work cut out for him making sure Philly didn't claw its way back into the game. The 23-year-old is 3-1-0 to begin the season with a 2.75 GAA and a .915 save percentage while splitting starts with John Gibson, but Dostal has been the better goalie so far. If the strict timeshare continues, it will be Gibson between the pipes Monday in Pittsburgh.

Urho Vaakanainen - Puts up first assist Vaakanainen notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Vaakanainen was able to get on the scoresheet against his old team, setting up defense partner Radko Gudas on the opening goal. This was Vaakanainen's third straight game in the lineup, albeit in a third-pairing role. The 24-year-old has one assist, four shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating over three contests. He'll be competing with Robert Hagg and Tristan Luneau for playing time until Jamie Drysdale (lower body) returns.

Sam Carrick - Offers helper in overtime win Carrick recorded an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Carrick helped out on a Leo Carlsson tally late in the third period that sparked the Ducks' comeback. While he's been on the fourth line this season, Carrick has held a steady spot in the lineup. Carlsson will be scratched on occasion, but for games he plays, Carrick, Benoit-Olivier Groulx and other bottom-six forwards may be at risk of a trip to the press box. Carrick has two points, seven shots on goal, nine hits and 12 PIM through seven outings.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jackson LaCombe - Provides assist Thursday LaCombe recorded an assist, three hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact LaCombe picked up the secondary helper on Mason McTavish's overtime tally. It's a good sign for LaCombe that he's been trusted with minutes in the 3-on-3 session. The rookie defenseman has handled a top-four role so far, picking up two helpers, five shots on net, 10 blocked shots, five hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances. His ice time may drop once Jamie Drysdale (lower body) returns.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pavel Mintyukov - Helpers in consecutive games Mintyukov notched an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and three hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Mintyukov set up Troy Terry on the game-tying goal with 15 seconds left in the third period. This was Mintyukov's second straight game with a helper. The rookie defenseman is up to a goal, three assists, 12 shots on net, 15 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through seven appearances. It seems unlikely he'll be heading back to the junior ranks given his early success at the NHL level.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Strome - Adds pair of assists Strome logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Strome put up his second multi-point effort of the year with secondary helpers on goals by Radko Gudas and Troy Terry. Strome's picked up four points over his last three games, putting him at one goal, six helpers, 12 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through seven contests overall. His steady play on offense is a welcome sight after he struggled to 41 points and a minus-30 rating in 82 outings last season.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Radko Gudas - Scores rare goal Gudas scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Gudas opened the scoring with five minutes left in the first period. The 33-year-old blueliner has not topped five goals in any of the last six seasons, so he shouldn't be expected to put up much offense. His tally Thursday was his first point to go with 16 hits, 15 blocked shots and 22 PIM through seven contests.

Mason McTavish - Scores in overtime McTavish scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Considering the Ducks trailed by two goals with less than two minutes left in the third period, McTavish almost didn't have a chance to play hero. The 20-year-old has two goals and an assist over his last three contests. He's up to six points, 17 shots on net, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating through seven outings overall.
