The 25-year-old winger is up to three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-4 rating through 16 appearances.

Adds assist Tuesday Leason recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Leason has collected two goals and five assists over his last five contests.

The 25-year-old is at eight points, 14 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 13 appearances this season. Leason probably won't sustain his recent pace -- he typically fills a bottom-six role with fewer chances to produce offense.

He doubled Anaheim's lead to two goals with a snap shot less than six minutes into the first period, and then provided set-ups in the goals scored by Cutter Gauthier and Jackson LaCombe. The three points in a single game were a season-best mark for the 25-year-old winger, who's trending in the right direction following a slow start to the season. He has two goals and four assists in his last four appearances.

Impact Leason has struggled this season -- he earned an assist Opening Night versus the Sharks and then went scoreless over seven outings.

Leason has two points, nine shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating through nine outings. When the Ducks are healthy up front, he's likely to compete with Ross Johnston for the last spot in the lineup.

Impact Leason begins 2024-25 in a fourth-line role that saw him rack up 11 goals, 11 assists, 91 shots on net and 79 hits over 68 appearances in 2023-24. He's off to a positive start after helping out on an Isac Lundestrom tally in the third period.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Hands out helper Sunday Leason notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Impact Leason has earned six points over 12 contests in March, providing a bit more offense than what would be expected for a bottom-six forward on a weak team. The winger also has 11 hits, 15 blocked shots and 13 shots on net this month. For the season, he's up to 21 points, 78 shots on net, 60 hits, 54 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating. Leason doesn't have great offense, but he adds a little bit of everything despite his limited role.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

The 24-year-old has more often been in a bottom-six role this season, though he's occasionally been listed on the second line as well. He has four points over his last five outings and 16 points, 67 shots on net, 52 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 48 contests overall.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

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

Checks in with two points Leason scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

Impact Leason had been scratched for six straight games, and he played like he didn't want to go back to the press box any time soon. The 24-year-old helped out on Isac Lundestrom's second-period tally before scoring a goal of his own in the third. Leason has been okay for a bottom-six forward with 14 points, 61 shots on net, 48 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 44 appearances this season. He was in the lineup due to Troy Terry (upper body) being held out. Leason likely won't do enough to help in fantasy, but he could push Ross Johnston or Max Jones out of the lineup.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Saturday Leason (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday against San Jose, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Leason missed the Ducks' previous two games. He has six goals, 12 points, 37 hits and 30 blocks in 36 outings in 2023-24. Leason is projected to serve on the third line in his return while Benoit-Olivier Groulx will be a healthy scratch.

Unavailable Monday Leason (upper body) won't play Monday versus the Panther, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Leason will miss at least one game after being injured in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay. He has six goals, 12 points, 49 shots on net , 30 blocked shots and 37 hits across 36 appearances this season. Leo Carlsson (knee) will replace Leason in the lineup.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains upper-body injury Leason (upper body) won't finish Saturday's game versus the Lightning.

Impact Leason was checked hard by Emil Martinsen Lilleberg in the second period, which ended the Anaheim winger's night. Leason has 12 points over 36 outings in a middle-six role this season. If he can't suit up Monday versus the Panthers, Brock McGinn will likely replace Leason in the lineup.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Pockets assist in loss Leason notched an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Leason helped out on an Isac Lundestrom tally in the second period. The 24-year-old Leason has moved around the lineup a bit this season, though he's mainly been in a bottom-six role. He has a career-best 12 points with 49 shots on net, 37 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 35 appearances. Leason is a good fit on a checking line, but he's not productive enough to help most fantasy managers.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
