Ross Johnston - Garners assist in overtime lossJohnston posted an assist and four hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
ImpactJohnston has picked up four points while playing in all nine of the Ducks' games in November. The winger typically doesn't have that much scoring success -- he's already matched his scoring output from 68 appearances in 2023-24. Johnston has added seven shots on net, 16 PIM and 49 hits over 13 appearances in 2024-25 while filling a fourth-line role.

Olen Zellweger - Offers helper FridayZellweger produced an assist and two hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
ImpactZellweger has been hot lately with five points over his last four games. The 21-year-old defenseman is up to nine points through 18 appearances, matching his scoring output from 26 contests a year ago. He's added 17 blocked shots, 42 shots on net and a plus-1 rating. While the Ducks don't score a lot, Zellweger's role as a top-four option at even strength and a power-play quarterback gives him a decent amount of upside for fantasy.

Trevor Zegras - Supplies assist FridayZegras registered an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
ImpactZegras set up a Drew Helleson tally in the first period. With a goal and three helpers over his last four contests, Zegras appears to be breaking out of the slump that has plagued him for much of the first quarter of the campaign. The 23-year-old forward has seven points, 36 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-4 rating over 19 games this season.

Leo Carlsson - Adds helper in overtime lossCarlsson logged an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
ImpactCarlsson has two goals and three assists over his last six games. It's worth noting he has just three shots on net in that span -- while the reduced shot volume isn't a great sign, he had seven shots on net during a four-game slump that preceded this uptick in offense. The talented center is up to 11 points, 28 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 19 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Drew Helleson - Pots goal in overtime lossHelleson scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
ImpactHelleson opened the scoring at 4:02 of the first period. The 23-year-old blueliner has three points over four outings since he was recalled from AHL San Diego. He's been limited to a third-pairing role, but he's holding his own and could make a case for more playing time even once Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) is ready to return. Helleson has added a plus-2 rating, six blocked shots, four PIM and three shots on goal.

Isac Lundestrom - Tips in goalLundestrom scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
ImpactLundestrom tipped in a Ross Johnston shot for the Ducks' second goal. This was Lundestrom's third goal of the campaign, with two of them coming over the last six games. The 25-year-old is at four points, 17 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 17 appearances. He's filling a defense-first role in the bottom six, so don't expect him to string together many point streaks this season.
