Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Slings helper in win
Frank Vatrano logged an assist, three shots on goal, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.Vatrano snapped a four-game slump with his helper on an Isac Lundestrom empty-netter. As expected, Vatrano has endured significant regression to begin 2024-25, though the Anaheim Ducks as a team are not generating much offense. The winger is at five points, 40 shots on net, 27 hits, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances. Despite being well behind his 60-point pace from last season, Vatrano should continue to see steady middle-six minutes.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Finds twine Friday
Frank Vatrano scored a goal on seven shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason shootout win over the Sharks.Vatrano has two goals over three preseason outings. The 30-year-old had a career year in 2023-24 with 37 goals, 60 points, 156 hits and 272 shots on net over 82 games. He also shot 13.6 percent, which isn't outrageous for him, but is still likely to lead to some regression. It won't help that the additions of Cutter Gauthier and Robby Fabbri are set to eat into some of Vatrano's minutes both on the power play and at even strength. Vatrano can still offer decent category coverage, but he'll be most helpful in formats that don't play with plus-minus rating.
