Playing time shaky after trade Meyers played in 14 of the Ducks' final 20 games after he was traded from the Avalanche.

Impact A reunion with head coach Greg Cronin, who worked with Meyers at AHL Colorado in previous seasons, was not enough to spark the winger's offense. The 25-year-old has not accumulated enough games in his career to remain a restricted free agent, so he'll be a Group 6 unrestricted free agent this summer. Meyers has eight points over 67 career NHL appearances.

Impact Meyers has a helper in each of the last two games after spending two contests in the press box as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old forward is still limited to fourth-line duties, but he's making a stronger case to stay in the lineup over Benoit-Olivier Groulx. Meyers has three points, 12 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-3 rating over 16 games between the Ducks and the Avalanche this season.

Impact Meyers has played in six of the Ducks' eight games since he was acquired via trade from the Avalanche.

Impact Meyers slotted in at wing on the second line, which had been Tomas Tatar's spot until Colorado traded him to Seattle on Friday. Saturday's ice time was his most in three games since being called from AHL Colorado. It's unclear if Meyers will remain in a top-six role going forward. It could last as long as it takes for Artturi Lehkonen (back) to return, which is currently projected as the first week of January.

Impact Meyers' first-period tally was a bit fluky, as he didn't get off a good shot, but an Oiler helped it into the net behind Stuart Skinner. The 24-year-old Meyers has three goals over his last four contests and four tallies through 38 outings overall. If the Avalanche don't get an injured forward back for the start of the playoffs, Meyers could continue to fill in for a bottom-six job.
