Anaheim Ducks
Pacific
Dostal backstopped Anaheim to a 2-1 win, stopping 43 of 44 shots for an impressive .977 save percentage. He remained sharp throughout regulation and overtime, then stood tall in the shootout to seal the victory.
Fantasy Impact: Dostal’s stellar performance showcased his ability to handle a heavy workload. While the Ducks’ defensive support can be hit-or-miss, his potential to post strong save totals makes him a worthy streaming option or second goaltender in many formats. If he continues to earn starts, he could provide sneaky value for fantasy managers.

Dumoulin netted Anaheim’s lone regulation goal, helping the team force extra time before ultimately prevailing in a shootout. He logged 21:09 of ice time—18:33 at even strength and 2:36 on the penalty kill—while chipping in one shot on goal, one hit, and a blocked shot.
Fantasy Impact: Defense typically headlines Dumoulin’s skill set, so any offensive production is a bonus. He won’t frequently fill the scoresheet, but his consistent minutes and willingness to block shots can provide a low-ceiling yet stable floor in deeper formats. Managers needing a defensive specialist might find him useful.

John Gibson delivered a stellar performance in his milestone 500th career game, stopping 26 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars. He allowed only a Colin Blackwell goal in the third period, securing Anaheim’s second straight victory.
Fantasy Impact: Gibson has quietly put together a strong stretch, going 2-3-0 over his last six outings while allowing just 11 goals in that span. His 2.69 GAA and .915 save percentage through 23 appearances show he's reasserting himself in the Ducks’ goaltending rotation alongside Lukas Dostal. With Anaheim getting a few days off before facing the Kings on Saturday, Gibson remains a viable streaming option in favorable matchups.

Trevor Zegras scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over the Stars. He broke a 1-1 tie early in the third period, securing the Ducks' second straight victory.
Fantasy Impact: Zegras has been finding his rhythm in a top-six role, producing two goals and five points over his last seven outings. With six goals, 15 points, and 61 shots through 31 appearances, he's now matched his production from last season. While his minus-8 rating remains a concern, his improved discipline—just 12 PIM—adds value. Zegras remains a solid mid-tier fantasy option, particularly in deeper leagues.

Cutter Gauthier scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against the Stars. The winger opened the scoring late in the first period, securing his ninth tally of the season.
Fantasy Impact: Gauthier has been inconsistent offensively, but he has managed two goals over his last four outings. With 22 points, 107 shots on net, 46 hits, and 31 blocked shots this season, he offers a well-rounded stat line, though his scoring output remains unreliable. He holds value in deeper leagues but isn't a must-roster option in standard formats unless he finds more consistency.

Fantasy Impact: Killorn has been heating up, tallying three goals and three assists over his last six contests. The veteran forward remains locked into a top-six role alongside Zegras and Leo Carlsson, giving him steady opportunities to produce.

Frank Vatrano opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal in the first period of Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the Flames. He finished the game with three shots on net.
Fantasy Impact: Vatrano has been heating up with four goals and an assist over his last five contests, and while this was his first shorthanded point of the season, his offensive role remains secure in Anaheim’s top six. With 15 goals, 29 points, 163 shots, 117 hits, and 39 blocked shots through 50 appearances, Vatrano provides solid category coverage in deeper fantasy leagues. While he’s unlikely to match last season’s 60-point campaign, his volume shooting and physical play make him a reliable depth option.

With 24 points, 90 shots on goal, 76 blocked shots, and a plus-4 rating through 44 games, his well-rounded production makes him a valuable fantasy option in leagues that reward defensive contributions. His steady ice time and growing offensive presence keep him relevant in deeper formats.

Brett Leason tallied two assists and a plus-2 rating in the Ducks' 5-2 victory over the Predators on Saturday, snapping an eight-game scoreless streak.
Fantasy Impact: Leason contributed from his fourth-line role, ending a recent slump with this multi-point performance. Despite his effort, the 25-year-old forward's opportunities for increased ice time remain limited with the Ducks' lineup nearing full health. On the season, Leason has five goals, nine assists, 57 shots, and 45 hits over 40 games. While he offers some depth scoring, his fantasy value is restricted to deeper leagues or formats that reward physicality.

Fantasy Impact: Mintyukov has three points in his last 10 games, maintaining a consistent presence in the lineup despite competition from fellow young defenseman Olen Zellweger. With four goals, seven assists, 49 shots, 48 hits, and 63 blocks through 41 appearances, Mintyukov offers decent peripheral stats for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. However, his production may remain limited as he continues to develop, making him more of a depth option for now.

This recent surge brings his season totals to 11 goals, 24 points, and 94 shots through 43 outings. While his minus-4 rating and limited peripherals may temper his value in some formats, McTavish's scoring streak makes him a strong addition for fantasy managers seeking offensive upside. Keep him active while his hot streak continues.

Ryan Strome tallied an assist in the Ducks' 5-1 victory against the Penguins on Thursday, setting up Frank Vatrano’s third-period goal. The helper was his third in the last four games.
Fantasy Impact: Strome continues to provide steady contributions from his top-six role, with 27 points and 81 shots on net through 48 games this season. While his minus-4 rating and lack of standout production in any single category limit his fantasy upside, his consistent offensive output makes him a serviceable depth option in deeper leagues. Managers can rely on him for steady, if unspectacular, production.

Isac Lundestrom tallied an assist in the Ducks' 5-1 victory over the Penguins on Thursday, marking his first game back after missing one contest due to a lower-body injury.
Fantasy Impact: Lundestrom snapped a six-game point drought with his assist on Alex Killorn's empty-net goal in the third period. Despite the contribution, his offensive production remains limited, with just eight points, 37 shots, and a minus-1 rating across 45 games. Playing in a bottom-six role on a low-scoring team, Lundestrom holds minimal fantasy value outside of the deepest leagues. Managers can likely look elsewhere for more consistent production.

Jacob Trouba recorded two assists, two shots on goal, four hits, and two blocked shots while finishing with a plus-5 rating in the Ducks' 5-1 victory over the Penguins on Thursday. The performance marked his first multi-point game since joining Anaheim.
Fantasy Impact: Trouba has been a reliable two-way contributor this season, providing 11 assists, 75 shots on goal, 101 hits, and 133 blocked shots through 47 games split between the Rangers and Ducks. Since the trade, he’s leaned into a more physical style, bolstering his fantasy value in leagues that reward peripheral stats. While his offensive output remains modest, his ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him a valuable option in deeper formats.

Drew Helleson recorded an assist, three shots on goal, and four hits in the Ducks' 5-1 victory over the Penguins on Thursday. The helper snapped an eight-game point drought for the young defenseman.
Fantasy Impact: Helleson has struggled to find consistent playing time, having been scratched in four of the last five games. With six points, 32 hits, 29 blocks, and 25 PIM across 22 appearances, his production is limited by his part-time role. Helleson is competing alongside other young blueliners like Olen Zellweger and Pavel Mintyukov to solidify a long-term spot in the NHL. While his upside remains capped in deeper leagues, he’s worth monitoring if his role becomes more consistent.

Fantasy Impact: While Gudas isn’t known for offensive contributions, his value lies in his consistent physical play. The veteran defenseman has logged at least two hits in 23 consecutive games and rarely goes without a block. Through 47 appearances this season, he has 11 points, 58 shots on net, 105 blocks, and 154 hits, along with a minus-4 rating. Gudas remains a strong option in leagues that reward hits and blocks, providing reliable multi-category depth for fantasy managers.
