Ducks' Mason McTavish: Posts power-play assist
Rotowire
McTavish notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
McTavish was listed as the fourth-line center Tuesday, but he led all Ducks forwards with 17:50 of ice time.

McTavish has added eight shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-1 rating. It's safe to assume he'll rarely be limited to fourth-line usage, but fantasy managers likely want a bit more offense than he's displayed in the early going.

Ducks' Mason McTavish: Generates pair of helpers
Rotowire
McTavish notched two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
McTavish helped out on second-period tallies by Robby Fabbri and Pavel Mintyukov. This was McTavish's first game on the scoresheet this season, and he's added five shots on net, three hits and four PIM across three contests. The 21-year-old center has played on the second line between Fabbri and Trevor Zegras to begin the season, a role that should lead to fairly consistent offense throughout the campaign.
