Lundestrom scored an empty-net goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Lundestrom was able to seal the win for the Ducks after Kirill Marchenko pulled the Blue Jackets within one at 16:57 of the third period.

The 25-year-old forward is up to three points, 12 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 12 appearances this season. He's likely to spend most of the campaign in a bottom-six role as a defensive center.

Rotowire
Lundestrom (upper body) will play Tuesday versus the Sharks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

The 24-year-old Lundestrom has one goal, three shots on net and five blocked shots in three outings this campaign. His return will relegate Ross Johnston to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Exits with injury
Rotowire
Lundestrom sustained an apparent upper-body injury in Wednesday's game versus Utah, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
There was no update on Lundestrom's status after the game. The 24-year-old forward has filled a fourth-line role this season. If Lundestrom can't play Friday in Colorado, Ross Johnston could draw into the lineup, while Brett Leason would likely move over to center.
Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Lundestrom suffered a minor injury at Thursday's practice but was able to shake it off before the season opener. The 24-year-old has seen his role diminished to begin 2024-25 thanks to the Ducks' influx of young talent. He's likely to spend most of the season as a fourth-line center, though Lundestrom's defensive instincts should keep him in the lineup regularly. He was limited to 11 points, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating over 46 appearances in 2023-24 while averaging 14:20 of ice time per game.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Sends assist in loss
Rotowire
Lundestrom notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
Lundestrom has gone seven games without a goal, but he has four assists in that span, which is more than he usually contributes. The 24-year-old remains in a defensive role on the third line, which has limited his offense since the team around him isn't particularly deep. He's at 11 points, 35 shots on net, 50 hits, 24 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 44 appearances.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Two helpers in shootout loss
Rotowire
Lundestrom notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blues.
This was Lundestrom's second multi-point effort of the campaign. The 24-year-old has four points over his last six outings, as his offense remains limited in a third-line role. For the season, the Swede has managed five goals, five assists, 32 shots on net, 48 hits and 21 blocked shots through 42 appearances.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Nabs assist Sunday
Rotowire
Lundestrom notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Lundestrom had a rough March on offense, but he picked up two points over the last three games of the month to show a spark. The 24-year-old forward has routinely seen third-line minutes this season, which gives him little upside in a weak offense. He's at eight points, 29 shots on net, 43 hits, 21 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 39 outings, but he's unlikely to score enough to help fantasy managers.

The 24-year-old forward is up to four goals, six points, 21 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-3 rating through 23 outings overall.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Lights lamp in loss
Rotowire
Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.
The goal was Lundestrom's first point over eight outings in February. The 24-year-old isn't known for big scoring numbers, instead playing a more defensive role on the Ducks' third line. He's split time between center and wing this season, most recently playing on Ryan Strome's left side. Lundestrom has five points, 20 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-2 rating over 22 appearances.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Opens scoring Wednesday
Rotowire
Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.
Lundestrom tallied 2:12 into the game after a strong initial play by Mason McTavish created a second chance. This was Lundestrom's second goal and fourth point over 14 contests this season. The 24-year-old has missed nearly half of the campaign with an Achilles injury, returning to a third-line role Jan. 3 against Toronto. His spot in the Ducks' lineup is safe, but he likely won't score enough to carry much fantasy value.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Contributes pair of helpers
Rotowire

Lundestrom set up goals by Urho Vaakanainen and Jakob Silfverberg in this contest. These were Lundestrom's first helpers of the season, and it was also his first multi-point effort in 12 outings in 2023-24. The 24-year-old has three points, 11 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Lundestrom is a solid defensive forward, though he's rarely seen time above the third line in his career, and that's where he's been since making his season debut Jan. 3 following Achilles surgery.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Pots first goal of season
Rotowire
Lundestrom scored his first goal of the season in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
The 24-year-old got the Ducks on the board early in the second period, banging home a rebound just 25 seconds into the frame. Lundestrom had been held off the scoresheet completely in his first four games after joining the roster at the beginning of January following his recovery from an Achilles injury, but an injury-ravaged Anaheim squad needs all the healthy forwards it can get. Lundestrom did score a career-high 16 goals and 29 points in 80 games two seasons ago, so he could provide a bit of secondary scoring in a middle-six role.

Rotowire
Lundestrom (Achilles) is slated to make his season debut Wednesday versus Toronto, per Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune. He was previously on the non-roster injured reserve.
Lundestrom had four goals and 14 points in 61 contests last season. Now that the 24-year-old is healthy, he's likely to serve in a middle-six role, but he probably won't see time on the power play.

Rotowire
Lundestrom sustained an Achilles injury while training in Sweden and has undergone surgery, according to Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune.
Lundestrom is projected to be out for around six months, which would translate to him missing the entirety of the Ducks' schedule before the All-Star Game.

Rotowire
Lundestrom is stuck in a 16-game point drought.
In that span, Lundestrom has gone minus-8 with 12 shots on goal, 10 blocked shots and seven hits. Playing in a bottom-six role for a low-scoring team means he'll have his droughts, but this is the worst one he's experienced. The 23-year-old is at 14 points, a minus-12 rating and 55 shots on net through 56 outings overall.
