Strome (illness) was on the ice for Tuesday's game-day skate, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll be in the lineup to face San Jose.
Strome wasn't able to practice Monday but appears to be good to go for Tuesday's tilt. The 31-year-old center should remain in his second-line center role while also seeing minutes with the No. 1 power-play unit. Heading into the matchup with the Sharks, Strome is riding a three-game point streak during which he has registered two goals on seven shots and one helper.

Rotowire
Strome didn't practice Monday due to an illness, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Strome has recorded points in three consecutive appearances, including goals in his last two outings. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Sharks due to his illness. If he's sidelined, Brett Leason could see additional work for the Ducks.

Rotowire
Strome scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
Strome ended David Rittich's shutout bid at 18:16 of the third period, but the Ducks' comeback ultimately fell short.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Scores in overtime loss
Rotowire
Strome scored a goal in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
This was his first goal of the 2024-25 campaign. Strome tallied late in the first period to give the Ducks a 2-0 lead. The veteran center has added an assist, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across four appearances. Strome is playing on the Ducks' third line, though the team's offense has been spread out fairly well over the top-nine forwards. Still, that usage on a team that's not out of a rebuild yet will make Strome a tough sell for fantasy managers.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Nabs assist
Rotowire
Strome provided an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
Strome set up a Troy Terry goal in the first period. Those two forwards have skated alongside Frank Vatrano on a veteran third line for the Ducks, while the team's top prospects have played in top-six roles. Strome has one assist, 10 shots on net, two PIM and a minus-1 rating through three contests. He's also playing on the second power-play unit. He's reached the 40-point mark in five straight seasons and often is above average in PIM production, but there are likely better centers available in standard fantasy formats.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Dishes pair of helpers
Rotowire
Strome logged two assists, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Strome ended 2023-24 on a 19-game goal drought, earning just five assists in that span. He was far from consistent this season, but he had a much stronger first half of the campaign.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Provides two assists in win
Rotowire
Strome registered two assists, four hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Strome has three helpers over his last two contests, though that increased production follows a 14-game drought. The 30-year-old has lacked consistency this season, posting 39 points through 76 contests. He's added 127 shots on net, 62 hits, 84 PIM and a minus-20 rating in a middle-six role with power-play time. Strome still has a chance to match his 41-point effort from last year, but both of his first two seasons with the Ducks are well below what he was able to do over four years with the Rangers.

Rotowire
Strome scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.
Strome got the Ducks on the board in the second period and set up Alex Killorn's tally in the third. The 30-year-old Strome has scored in back-to-back games, and he has 12 points over 13 contests since the All-Star break. He should continue to see top-six minutes with Adam Henrique dealt to Edmonton earlier in the week. Strome is at 36 points (14 on the power play) with 103 shots on net, 71 PIM, 47 hits and a minus-15 rating through 60 appearances.

Rotowire
Strome scored a goal and added two PIM in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Senators.
Strome had picked up three assists during his seven-game goal drought, which came to an end when he potted the equalizer early in the second period.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Contributes two power-play helpers
Rotowire
Strome notched a pair of power-play assists and two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Strome has picked up three helpers over his last five contests, all on the power play. The 30-year-old has seen most of his time in February as the third-line center on a line with Isac Lundestrom and Jakob Silfverberg. Strome is up to 33 points (13 on the power play), 98 shots on net, 69 PIM, 42 hits and a minus-15 rating through 56 appearances this season. Without top-six minutes or access to the Ducks' burgeoning young talent, Strome is a risky fantasy play.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Manages power-play assist
Rotowire
Strome provided a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.
Strome has earned five of his last seven points on the power play. The 30-year-old forward has moved down to center the third line after spending much of the first half of the campaign as a top-six winger, but the on-paper demotion hasn't hurt his offense. He's at 31 points, 96 shots on net, 67 PIM and 41 hits through 54 appearances.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Reaches 20-assist mark
Rotowire
Strome recorded two power-play assists in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators.
This was Strome's second multi-point effort in the last three games. The 30-year-old has three power-play points in that span. He's been strong on the top line in recent weeks, which has helped to get his offense back on track. Strome is still more of a supplementary scorer with 28 points (nine on the power play), 89 shots on net, 63 PIM, 40 hits and a minus-12 rating over 50 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Strome scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Strome snapped a six-game slump with his game-tying goal in the third period. The 30-year-old forward has had some streakiness in his game after a great first month of the campaign. He's produced six goals, 24 points, 79 shots on net, 61 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 46 outings, so his fantasy value is not particularly strong in standard formats.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Unavailable Friday
Rotowire
Strome (upper body) isn't expected to play Friday against Winnipeg, coach Greg Cronin told Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune.
Strome is set to miss his second straight game. He did participate in Friday's optional skate, though, so perhaps the 30-year-old might still play Sunday against Detroit. He has three goals, 20 points and 55 PIM in 35 contests this campaign. Adam Henrique logged 20:11 of ice time Wednesday and should continue to be leaned on heavily during Strome's absence.
