Leason managed an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
Leason helped out on a Brock McGinn tally in the third period. Over the prior six games, Leason had been limited to one goal. The 25-year-old winger has held onto a middle-six role for much of the season, and that's come with power-play time since mid-November. He has a total of 10 points, 29 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 20 appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Tallies in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Leason has three goals and five assists over his last eight games. He hasn't been scratched since Nov. 8, and it appears he's secured a middle-six spot in the lineup. The 25-year-old winger is up to three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-4 rating through 16 appearances. That's enough offense and physical play to be an option in deep fantasy formats.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Adds assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Leason recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Leason has collected two goals and five assists over his last five contests. Prior to that, he had been a healthy scratch in five of six games, but it's clear he doesn't want to go back to the press box any time soon. The 25-year-old is at eight points, 14 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 13 appearances this season. Leason probably won't sustain his recent pace -- he typically fills a bottom-six role with fewer chances to produce offense.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Shines in win over Dallas
Rotowire
Leason posted one goal and two assists, including one in the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Leason was the undisputed star in Monday's huge win for the Ducks, as he got involved in three of the team's four goals. He doubled Anaheim's lead to two goals with a snap shot less than six minutes into the first period, and then provided setups in the goals scored by Cutter Gauthier and Jackson LaCombe. The three points in a single game were a season-best mark for the 25-year-old winger, who's trending in the right direction following a slow start to the campaign. He has two goals and four assists in his last four appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Provides pair of helpers
Rotowire
Leason logged two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Leason has three points over his last two games while filling in for Mason McTavish (upper body). The 25-year-old Leason was on the third line Wednesday and saw a season-high 15:02 of ice time. He has four points, 10 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating over 10 appearances. He'll likely continue to fill a bottom-six role and offers little scoring upside -- fantasy managers can find better depth options on the waiver wire.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Breaks slump with goal
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Leason has struggled this season -- he earned an assist Opening Night versus the Sharks and then went scoreless over seven outings. Lately, that lack of offense has cost him his spot in the lineup, but he checked back in Sunday due to Mason McTavish (upper body tightness) being unavailable. Leason has two points, nine shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating through nine outings. When the Ducks are healthy up front, he's likely to compete with Ross Johnston for the last spot in the lineup.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Nabs assist in win
Rotowire
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 signed a one-year, $1.05 million deal with Anaheim on Monday.

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.

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.

Rotowire
Leason picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over Chicago.
Leason extended Anaheim's lead to 2-0 midway through the second period, beating Arvid Soderblom with a wrister on the rush before adding an assist on Alex Killorn's tally later in the frame. Leason had gone scoreless in his previous four games after scoring a pair of goals on March 12 against the same Blackhawks team. The 24-year-old winger is up to 11 goals and 20 points through 56 games this season in a bottom-six 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.
