Ducks' Ryan Strome: Collects two helpers Sunday
Strome notched a pair of assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Senators.
Strome has earned three points over the last two games to bounce back from being held off the scoresheet in his previous four outings. The 31-year-old center looks to have some chemistry with Frank Vatrano and Troy Terry -- the trio was involved in all three of the Ducks' goals Sunday. Strome is up to 12 points, 46 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 23 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Ducks' Troy Terry: Distributes three assists Sunday
Terry logged three assists, nine shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Senators.
Terry helped out on both of Frank Vatrano's goals as well as a Jackson LaCombe marker. In the shootout, Terry had one of the Ducks' two tallies to help secure the win in what was one of his best games of the season. The 27-year-old winger has accumulated seven assists over his last four games, and he ended a drought of six contests without a power-play point on the Ducks' first goal. Terry has six tallies, 13 helpers, 57 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 23 outings overall.

Ducks' Jackson LaCombe: Buries goal in win
LaCombe scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Senators.
LaCombe went to the net and followed up a rebound before scoring on a backhand. He ended a five-game point drought with a strong display of stick work. The 23-year-old defenseman is seeing steady top-four minutes, though he lost his power-play role during November. He's up to three goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 17 appearances.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Racks up three points in win
Vatrano scored twice on three shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Senators.
Vatrano's first tally came on the power play. The power winger earned his second multi-point effort of the season in this contest, and he has picked up five points over his last four games. Overall, the 30-year-old is up to six goals, six helpers, 73 shots on net, 62 hits, 20 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating across 22 appearances.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Secures shootout win
Dostal stopped 28 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Senators.
The Ducks briefly held one-goal leads on three occasions, but the Senators were quick to respond each time. Dostal held firm and stopped all three shootout attempts to earn just his second win in seven outings since the start of November. The 24-year-old goalie has given up at least three goals in six of those games. Dostal is now 6-7-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 15 contests. He's been losing work to John Gibson lately, so it's not clear which goalie will get the starting nod at home versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Unavailable Sunday
Carlsson (upper body) won't suit up Sunday versus Ottawa.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: In blue paint versus Ottawa
Dostal will be between the pipes for Sunday's home matchup against the Senators, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Dostal will look turn the page in December after posting a 1-5-0 record, .890 save percentage and 3.71 GAA over six appearances in November. The 24-year-old will face an Ottawa club that's on the second half of a back-to-back after losing 5-2 in Los Angeles on Saturday. The Senators have generated 72 goals through 23 games.

Ducks' Tyson Hinds: Dropped to minors
Hinds was assigned to AHL San Diego on Saturday.
Hinds was a healthy scratch in Anaheim's last two games. He hasn't logged any playing time in the NHL this season yet. Hinds has two goals and one assist in 16 AHL outings during the 2024-25 campaign. If Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) remains unavailable, Hinds could be recalled from AHL San Diego ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Ottawa.

Ducks' Drew Helleson: Sends helper in loss
Helleson posted an assist and two hits in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.
Helleson has a goal and three assists over seven NHL appearances during this stint with the Ducks. The 23-year-old has proven himself capable of handling third-pairing minutes. He's added three shots on net, a plus-2 rating, six hits and 10 blocked shots. Helleson's production probably isn't enough to sway most fantasy managers, especially given the team he's on, but he could be helping his cause to stick in the NHL once Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) is healthy again.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Pots lone goal in loss
Strome scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.
Strome had gone four games without a point entering Friday. He snapped that slump with his first goal since Nov. 15, and his first against a netminder since Oct. 27. The 31-year-old forward has mostly seen top-six minutes this season, but it hasn't done much to help his offense. He's at five goals, five assists, 46 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 22 appearances.

Ducks' John Gibson: Playing like goalie of old
Gibson made 16 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Kings on Friday.
Gibson looks like the Gibson of old since his return from an emergency appendectomy. He's 4-1-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .922 in six starts this season. If he can keep this up, Gibson could find his name thrown about in trade talks despite his $6.4 million cap hit through 2026-27. Until then, he's a solid fantasy play in all formats, including redraft.

Ducks' John Gibson: Gets starting nod Friday
Gibson will start between the pipes in Friday's game against the Kings, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Gibson didn't make his season debut until Nov. 10, but he's been excellent when called upon duty. The 31-year-old has yet to lose in regulation, going 4-0-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .919 save percentage in his five appearances. The Kings rank 16th in the league with 3.00 goals scored per game in 2024-25.

Ducks' Pavel Mintyukov: Records helper
Mintyukov notched an assist, two hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Mintyukov has been solid lately with four points, 10 shots on net, eight hits and 15 blocked shots over his last seven contests. The 21-year-old defenseman has held down a steady top-four role this season, and he's been on the second power-play unit more recently. Mintyukov has six points, 26 shots on goal, 35 blocked shots, 16 hits and a minus-4 rating over 20 appearances.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Garners assist in win
Lundestrom provided an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Lundestrom led all Ducks forwards with 18:00 of ice time in this win. The 25-year-old continues to serve in a defensive capacity on the third line, but his usage Wednesday suggests he has plenty of trust from the coaching staff. He's produced five points, 19 shots on net, 11 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 19 appearances this season.
