Ready to rock Lundestrom (upper body) will play Tuesday versus the Sharks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lundestrom will occupy a bottom-six role following his two-game absence, but he is projected to be flanked by offensive players Trevor Zegras and Alex Killorn. The 24-year-old Lundestrom has one goal, three shots on net and five blocked shots in three outings this campaign. His return will relegate Ross Johnston to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Won't play Friday Lundestrom (upper body) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Colorado and is considered day-to-day.

Impact There was no update on Lundestrom's status after the game. The 24-year-old forward has filled a fourth-line role this season. If Lundestrom can't play Friday in Colorado, Ross Johnston could draw into the lineup, while Brett Leason would liekly move over to center.

Tallies game-winner Saturday Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.

Impact Lundestrom suffered a minor injury at Thursday's practice but was able to shake it off before the season opener. The 24-year-old has seen his role diminished to begin 2024-25 thanks to the Ducks' influx of young talent. He's likely to spend most of the season as a fourth-line center, though Lundestrom's defensive instincts should keep him in the lineup regularly. He was limited to 11 points, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating over 46 appearances in 2023-24 while averaging 14:20 of ice time per game.

Impact Lundestrom sustained a lower-body injury during Anaheim's practice session Thursday. The 24-year-old has moved past the injury and will center the fourth line while seeing time on the penalty kill. Lundestrom banked 11 points in 46 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Suffers injury at practice Lundestrom sustained an apparent lower-body injury during Thursday's practice session, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lundestrom needed assistance getting off the ice and to the dressing room after sustaining his injury, and the severity of the issue isn't yet known. He'll have a few days to recover before the Ducks face the Sharks on Saturday, but Ross Johnston could see a role for Anaheim if Lundestrom is unavailable.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Lands one-year deal Lundestrom signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Ducks on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Lundestrom didn't make his season debut until January and was limited to 46 games. He tallied 11 points while averaging 14:20 of ice time. The 24-year-old should maintain a bottom-six role next season.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Sends assist in loss Lundestrom notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact Lundestrom has gone seven games without a goal, but he has four assists in that span, which is more than he usually contributes. The 24-year-old remains in a defensive role on the third line, which has limited his offense since the team around him isn't particularly deep. He's at 11 points, 35 shots on net, 50 hits, 24 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 44 appearances.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Two helpers in shootout loss Lundestrom notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blues.

Impact This was Lundestrom's second multi-point effort of the campaign. The 24-year-old has four points over his last six outings, as his offense remains limited in a third-line role. For the season, the Swede has managed five goals, five assists, 32 shots on net, 48 hits and 21 blocked shots through 42 appearances.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs assist Sunday Lundestrom notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Lundestrom had a rough March on offense, but he picked up two points over the last three games of the month to show a spark. The 24-year-old forward has routinely seen third-line minutes this season, which gives him little upside in a weak offense. He's at eight points, 29 shots on net, 43 hits, 21 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 39 outings, but he's unlikely to score enough to help fantasy managers.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies shortie Thursday Lundestrom scored a shorthanded goal, added four hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Lundestrom scored the first of two goals on the same penalty kill early in the third period. The tally was Lundestrom's first point in March, ending a 13-game slump. The 24-year-old forward is up to five goals, two helpers, 29 shots on net, 40 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 37 appearances. He has six career shorthanded goals, all of which have come over the last three seasons.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Fills empty net Lundestrom scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.

Impact Lundestrom has scored in consecutive games after beginning February with no points over seven appearances. The 24-year-old forward is up to four goals, six points, 21 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-3 rating through 23 outings overall. He's seeing steady third-line usage, but his limited offense makes him unlikely to be helpful to most fantasy managers.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Lights lamp in loss Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

Impact The goal was Lundestrom's first point over eight outings in February. The 24-year-old is not known for big scoring numbers, instead playing a more defensive role on the Ducks' third line. He's split time between center and wing this season, most recently playing on Ryan Strome's left side. Lundestrom has five points, 20 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-2 rating over 22 appearances.

Opens scoring Wednesday Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Lundestrom tallied 2:12 into the game after a strong initial play by Mason McTavish created a second chance. This was Lundestrom's second goal and fourth point over 14 contests this season. The 24-year-old missed nearly half of the campaign with an Achilles injury, and he's returned to a third-line role. His spot in the Ducks' lineup is safe, but he likely won't score enough to carry much fantasy value.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes pair of helpers Lundestrom notched two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

Impact Lundestrom set up goals by Urho Vaakanainen and Jakob Silfverberg in this contest. These were Lundestrom's first helpers of the season, and it was also his first multi-point effort in 12 outings in 2023-24. The 24-year-old has three points, 11 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Lundestrom is a solid defensive forward, though he's rarely seen time above the third line in his career, and that's where he's been since making his season debut Jan. 3 following Achilles surgery.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Pots first goal of season Lundestrom scored his first goal of the season in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The 24-year-old got the Ducks on the board early in the second period, banging home a rebound just 25 seconds into the frame. Lundestrom had been held off the scoresheet completely in his first four games after joining the roster at the beginning of January following his recovery from an Achilles injury, but an injury-ravaged Anaheim squad needs all the healthy forwards it can get. Lundestrom did score a career-high 16 goals and 29 points in 80 games two seasons ago, so he could provide a bit of secondary scoring in a middle-six role.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Set to make season debut Wednesday Lundestrom (Achilles) is slated to make his season debut Wednesday versus Toronto, per Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune. He was on the non-roster injured reserve.

Impact Lundestrom had four goals and 14 points in 61 contests this season. Now that the 24-year-old is healthy, he's likely to serve in a middle-six role, but he probably won't see time on the power play.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom out with torn Achilles The 23-year-old forward has had surgery to repair the tendon and the club said the present timetable for a return is January.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Suffers Achilles injury Lundestrom sustained an Achilles injury while training in Sweden and underwent surgery, according to Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune.

Impact Lundestrom is projected to be out for around six months, which would translate to him missing the entirety of the Ducks' schedule before the All-Star Game. He had four goals and 14 points in 61 contests with Anaheim last season. When Lundestrom recovers, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six role.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stuck in slump Lundestrom is stuck in a 16-game point drought.

Impact In that span, Lundestrom has gone minus-8 with 12 shots on goal, 10 blocked shots and seven hits. Playing in a bottom-six role for a low-scoring team means he'll have his droughts, but this is the worst one he's experienced. The 23-year-old is at 14 points, a minus-12 rating and 55 shots on net through 56 outings overall.

Ducks snap Blackhawks' 5-game win streak with 4-2 victory

Lundestrom is up to four goals, 14 points, 43 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 40 outings this season. His offense isn't that significant, but he's a fixture on the Ducks' third line and could have some appeal in deep fantasy formats.
