Tristan Luneau - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Heads to AHL Luneau was reassigned by the Ducks on Friday.

Impact Luneau has no points, two PIM, six shots, five hits and nine blocks while averaging 16:33 of ice time across six appearances this year. He's been a healthy scratch in four of Anaheim's past five games, and a move to AHL San Diego would give the 20-year-old an opportunity to play regularly, which would likely be beneficial to his development.

Set for Rookie Faceoff Luneau (knee) is expected to participate in the Rookie Faceoff from Sept. 12-16.

Impact Luneau had one goal and two assists in seven regular-season appearances with the Ducks in 2023-24. However, he didn't return to the ice after being diagnosed with a knee infection shortly after being loaned to Canada for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship. Luneau will get a chance to get back on track in the Rookie Faceoff before attending training camp with the Ducks. He could start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL San Diego if he doesn't land a spot on the NHL roster.

Likely done for season Luneau (illness) will likely not play again during 2023-24, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Luneau was forced to miss the World Junior Championship due to a viral infection, and the recovery from that has kept him out of QMJHL Gatineau's lineup ever since. The Ducks are more interested in getting the 20-year-old defenseman to 100 percent for 2024-25, so shutting him down makes sense. He'll likely have a good chance to make the Ducks' roster out of training camp in the fall after logging three points over seven NHL appearances this season.

Won't play in WJC Luneau, who was loaned from Anaheim to Team Canada on Dec. 9, will not play in the World Junior Championship because of a viral infection. Mark Masters of TSN reports Saturday.

Missing out on the tournament will cost the 19-year-old an opportunity to play a lead role against some of the best prospects in the world. Luneau might return to the Ducks, but because Anaheim was using him sparingly, it's also possible he'll be reassigned to QMJHL Gatineau where he'd log big minutes.

Impact Luneau has a goal and three points in seven contests with Anaheim in 2023-24. He'll likely earn a major role with Team Canada for the highly competitive tournament, which should prove to be beneficial to the 19-year-old's long-term development. Anaheim was using Luneau somewhat sparingly, so it remains to be seen if he'll return to the Ducks after the tournament or report to QMJHL Gatineau.

Checks off multiple milestones Luneau scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Luneau recorded his first goal and multi-point effort in Thursday's defeat. He tallied at 1:49 of the first period and helped out on a Brock McGinn marker in the third. The 19-year-old Luneau has three points, seven shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through five appearances this season.
