Leason provided an assist and two hits in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Leason begins 2024-25 in a fourth-line role that saw him rack up 11 goals, 11 assists, 91 shots on net and 79 hits over 68 appearances in 2023-24. He's off to a positive start after helping out on an Isac Lundestrom tally in the third period. Leason has a bit of sneaky offense and can kill penalties, but given his limited role in a weak offense, he's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy.

Rotowire
Leason logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
Leason snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old has been able to stay in the lineup while Max Jones (upper body) has been out of action. Leason is up to 22 points, 84 shots on net, 69 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 62 appearances this season. He'll likely close out 2023-24 in a bottom-six role.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Hands out helper Sunday
Rotowire
Leason notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.
Leason has earned six points over 12 contests in March, providing a bit more offense than what would be expected for a bottom-six forward on a weak team. The winger also has 11 hits, 15 blocked shots and 13 shots on net this month. For the season, he's up to 21 points, 78 shots on net, 60 hits, 54 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating. Leason doesn't have great offense, but he adds a little bit of everything despite his limited role.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Gathers helper in win
Rotowire
Leason provided an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Senators.
With the Ducks missing a number of key forwards, Leason served on the second line and actually saw ice time in line with that assignment (17:41). The 24-year-old has more often been in a bottom-six role this season, though he's occasionally been listed on the second line as well. He has four points over his last five outings and 16 points, 67 shots on net, 52 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 48 contests overall.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Nets shortie Thursday
Rotowire
Leason scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Leason has three points over two games since he returned from a six-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old's tally Thursday gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead in the first period. Leason is far from a lock for the lineup, though he could benefit if the Ducks offload forwards at the trade deadline, as long as he's not one of the players on the move. Leason is up to eight goals, 15 points, 65 shots on net, 49 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 45 appearances. His tally Thursday was his first career special-teams point.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Checks in with two points
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.
Leason had been scratched for six straight games, and he played like he didn't want to go back to the press box any time soon. The 24-year-old helped out on Isac Lundestrom's second-period tally before scoring a goal of his own in the third. Leason has been okay for a bottom-six forward with 14 points, 61 shots on net, 48 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 44 appearances this season. He was in the lineup due to Troy Terry (upper body) being held out. Leason likely won't do enough to help in fantasy, but he could push Ross Johnston or Max Jones out of the lineup.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Sustains upper-body injury
Rotowire
Leason (upper body) won't finish Saturday's game versus the Lightning.
Leason was checked hard by Emil Martinsen Lilleberg in the second period, which ended the Anaheim winger's night. Leason has 12 points over 36 outings in a middle-six role this season. If he can't suit up Monday versus the Panthers, Brock McGinn will likely replace Leason in the lineup.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Pockets assist in loss
Rotowire
Leason notched an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Leason helped out on an Isac Lundestrom tally in the second period. The 24-year-old Leason has moved around the lineup a bit this season, though he's mainly been in a bottom-six role. He has a career-best 12 points with 49 shots on net, 37 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 35 appearances. Leason is a good fit on a checking line, but he's not productive enough to help most fantasy managers.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Opens and closes scoring
Rotowire
Leason scored two goals, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Leason has maintained a middle-six role in recent weeks, earning four goals and three assists over his last 12 games. The 24-year-old opened the scoring at 3:23 of the first period Wednesday, then added the last goal late in the second period. Leason is up to six tallies, a career-high 11 points, 44 shots on net, 34 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 30 appearances. He may have some fantasy value in deep formats.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Produces assist in win
Rotowire
Leason managed an assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Leason has three points over his last four games while taking on a larger role in the Ducks' middle six. The 24-year-old winger spent much of the first two months of the season on the fourth line. Leason is up to nine points, 38 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-2 rating through 27 appearances. He's still unlikely to produce enough offense to be helpful in standard fantasy formats.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Opens scoring Friday
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal on six shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers.
Leason opened the scoring at 13:30 of the first period, but that was the only goal the Ducks put past Jonathan Quick. With four points over his last seven games, Leason has made good on a promotion to a middle-six role after beginning the campaign on the fourth line. He's at eight points, 38 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-2 rating through 25 contests. The Ducks will likely shuffle lines again when Mason McTavish (upper body) and Trevor Zegras (lower body) return, which is likely to cause Leason to drop down the lineup once more. Still, the 24-year-old Leason has probably done enough recently to stay out of the press box once the team returns to full strength.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Adds apple in loss
Rotowire
Leason notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
Leason helped out on Adam Henrique's second-period marker. The 24-year-old Leason has been trusted with more ice time lately, playing no less than 12:43 in any of his last six outings. He's at seven points, 32 shots on net, 29 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 24 outings overall. With no clear path to a power-play role, Leason's still not doing enough to be considered in most fantasy formats.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Two points against old team
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
Leason was a leader on offense for the Ducks on Thursday, though he wasn't able to contribute to a win over his former team. The 24-year-old has three points over his last two games, which may help him gain traction in a fourth-line spot. Leason is up to six points, 24 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-1 rating through 19 contests overall.
