Zegras recorded two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Zegras played an integral role in the win, helping out on third-period goals by Alex Killorn and Leo Carlsson to lift the Ducks to the lead. This was the first multi-point effort of the campaign for Zegras, who has a goal and two assists over his last three outings. The 23-year-old forward is at six points, 34 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 18 appearances, but at least for now, he's trending in the right direction after a slow start over the first month-plus of the season.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Tallies on power play
Rotowire
Zegras scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Zegras snapped a five-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 23-year-old is off to an abysmal start this season with just four points through 16 contests despite routinely seeing top-six minutes. This was his first power-play point of the campaign, and he's added 29 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 10 hits and a minus-6 rating. Not much has gone right for the Ducks on offense, but Zegras struggling out of the gate for the second year in a row is a significant concern.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Ends drough with assist
Rotowire
Zegras notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Zegras had gone six games without a point before he set up an Alex Killorn tally in the first period. The slump has cost Zegras his top-six role -- he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in each of the last two games while playing alongside Killorn and Cutter Gauthier on the third line. Zegras is off to another slow start in 2024-25 with three points, 21 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 10 appearances. While he still has talent, he is in real danger of getting lapped by younger prospects in the Ducks' system, which does nothing to squash trade rumors that have circled him in recent months.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Earns 100th career assist
Rotowire
Zegras registered an assist and five shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
Zegras set up linemate Robby Fabbri's second-period tally, which tied the game at 2-2. Through three games, Zegras has a goal, an assist, nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating. His helper Wednesday was the 100th of his career, a milestone he reached in 214 regular-season appearances. Zegras looks poised to be a top-six fixture this year as he attempts to bounce back from a disappointing 2023-24 campaign.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Zegras scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Zegras helped secure the season-opening win for the Ducks with his tally at 18:25 of the third period. The forward started the game at right wing -- he's a left-handed shooter but was playing alongside fellow lefties Robby Fabbri and Mason McTavish at even strength. The Ducks have some flexibility with as many as four potential top-six centers, though Zegras' creativity may be better suited to a winger spot. He struggled with 15 points over 31 games in an injury-riddled 2023-24, but he's poised for a bounce-back year if he can stay healthy.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Delivers assist in win
Rotowire
Zegras notched an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Zegras put together a strong finish with two goals and six helpers over his last eight games. The 23-year-old's injury-plagued fourth season saw him post 15 points, 73 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 31 appearances. He saw time at center and on the wing, so it's unclear where he might play to begin 2024-25, but he should be able to maintain a top-six role.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Buries goal Saturday
Rotowire
Zegras scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.
Zegras broke up David Rittich's shutout bid with a goal at 11:18 of the third period. With two goals and five assists over his last seven contests, Zegras has seemingly returned to form to close out 2023-24. The 23-year-old has 14 points, 72 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 30 appearances in an injury-riddled campaign, but his recent performance lends some optimism for 2024-25.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Adds helper in loss
Rotowire
Zegras notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
Zegras set up a Frank Vatrano tally in the third period. After an injury-plagued campaign, Zegras is showing off his talent with a goal and five assists over his last six contests to finish the year strong. The 23-year-old is at 13 points, 67 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 29 outings overall, playing mainly in a top-six role.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Tallies in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Zegras scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
The third-period goal was Zegras' first since he returned from a broken ankle. He's earned a goal and four assists over his last five contests after taking a while to get back up to speed. The 23-year-old center has five goals, 12 points, 64 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 28 outings this season. He should be safe in a top-six role to close out the year since Mason McTavish (knee) is unlikely to recover in time to play before the Ducks' final game April 18 versus the Golden Knights.

Rotowire
Zegras produced two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blues.
Zegras helped out on both of Frank Vatrano's tallies in the contest. With four assists over his last four games, Zegras is getting comfortable again, though he hasn't scored in seven outings since returning from a broken ankle.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Provides helper in loss
Rotowire
Zegras notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
This was Zegras' first point in four games since he returned from a a broken ankle. The 23-year-old has endured an injury-riddled campaign while earning just eight points with 56 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 24 appearances. Zegras should continue to see top-six minutes, but fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect much out of him in April.

Zegras suffered a broken ankle Jan. 9 versus Floirda and subsequently underwent surgery to repair the damage.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Could begin skating soon
Rotowire
Zegras (ankle) is nearing a return to the ice, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Zegras required surgery on a broken ankle he sustained Jan. 9 versus the Predators. He is working on regaining mobility and flexibility. He may still need a handful of practice sessions once he's cleared to resume skating. There's no reason for the cellar-dwelling Ducks to rush Zegras back, so he'll likely be out for at least a week to begin March.

Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Will miss time with injury
Rotowire
Ducks head coach Greg Cronin said Zegras will miss some time after sustaining a lower-body injury during Tuesday's 5-3 win over Nashville, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Zegras exited the contest after colliding with the Predators' Juuso Parssinen in the first period. The 22-year-old has recorded four goals and seven points in 20 outings this season. Zegras appears safe to rule out for Thursday's game at Carolina, but the full extent of his injury isn't known yet, so his timetable remains uncertain beyond that point.

Zegras (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Predators.
Zegras collided with Juuso Parssinen in the first period and came away worse for wear, needing assistance to get to the locker room. Zegras was ruled out at the start of the second period.
