Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Leads offense in return
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal on four shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.
Carlsson ended up missing 11 games after undergoing a procedure to address a Morel-Lavallee lesion on his left thigh. He logged 17:16 of ice time in this contest. With the injury behind him, Carlsson should be able to recapture the early-season form that made him look like a breakout star.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Moves to IR
Rotowire
Carlsson (thigh) was placed on injured reserve by the Ducks on Sunday, according to the NHL media site.
This move doesn't really change much about the timeline for Carlsson, who has missed the last nine games due to a thigh injury and has already been ruled out for the Olympics. In a corresponding move, Troy Terry (upper body) will return to the lineup for the Ducks against the Golden Knights on Sunday. Carlsson has 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) in 44 games on the season.
Carlsson (lower body) will not be an option against Los Angeles on Friday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
The Ducks haven't offered much in the way of an update for Carlsson, with head coach Joel Quenneville telling reporters they will "know more sooner than later." In the meantime, Mason McTavish and Mikael Granlund will continue to fill the top-six center roles. With the team headed into a back-to-back, Carlsson should probably be considered a heavy doubt to face the Kings on Saturday.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Out 3-5 weeks after procedure
Rotowire
Carlsson (thigh) underwent a procedure Friday to address a Morel-Lavallee lesion on his left thigh and will miss 3-5 weeks.
The procedure endangers Carlsson's participation for Sweden at the Olympics. If he's able to return on the short end of that timeline, he could still suit up during the tournament, though that decision will likely be up to Carlsson and his doctors. While Carlsson is out, look for Mason McTavish and Mikael Granlund to handle larger roles in the Ducks' offense.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Finds twine Thursday
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
Carlsson responded to the Islanders' three-goal first period with a tally of his own to put Anaheim on the board. Thursday's twine finder raised his season totals up to 17 goals, 39 points and 80 shots on net through 31 games. He has continued to show the hockey world that his jump to stardom wasn't an early-season fluke, as he has maintained his scoring pace with 13 points in his last 12 games. The 20-year-old center ranks just outside the NHL's top 10 skaters in points and has shown no signs of slowing down soon. Carlsson has been a large reason for the Ducks' leap forward this year, and he should continue to provide elite value in fantasy going forward.
Carlsson scored two goals, including one on the power play, and fired four shots on net in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Carlsson tallied late in the second period and early in the third to leave his mark on this blowout win. He had gone two games without a point following the end of a seven-game point streak. The 20-year-old remains highly productive on the Ducks' top line, racking up 16 goals, 38 points (11 on the power play), 76 shots on net, 23 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 29 appearances. He's four goals and seven points shy of matching his totals from 76 outings in 2024-25.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Earns two points Monday
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Carlsson helped the Ducks extend their lead in the third period, scoring at 5:58 of that frame before setting up Chris Kreider's empty-netter. This performance extended Carlsson's point streak to seven games (three goals, seven assists). The 20-year-old center is up to 14 goals, 22 helpers, 64 shots on net, 23 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 26 appearances. That's a pace that would see him end up over the 100-point threshold if he's able to maintain his production and health. He could regress a bit, as he's shooting 21.9 percent, but his importance to the Ducks is obvious.
Carlsson scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.
The 20-year-old center continued his breakout campaign, tying the game at 4-4 inside the final two minutes of the third period by rattling home a feed that came from behind the net by Jackson LaCombe. Carlsson extended his current point streak to five games with the performance. This season, he's erupted for 13 goals and 33 points in just 24 games, tying him with Connor Bedard for fourth place in the early race for the Art Ross Trophy.
