Meyers played in 14 of the Ducks' final 20 games after he was traded from the Avalanche.
A reunion with head coach Greg Cronin, who worked with Meyers at AHL Colorado in previous seasons, was not enough to spark the winger's offense. The 25-year-old has not accumulated enough games in his career to remain a restricted free agent, so he'll be a Group 6 unrestricted free agent this summer. Meyers has eight points over 67 career NHL appearances.

Ducks' Ben Meyers: Bags apple in overtime loss
Rotowire
Meyers notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.
Meyers has a helper in each of the last two games after spending two contests in the press box as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old forward is still limited to fourth-line duties, but he's making a stronger case to stay in the lineup over Benoit-Olivier Groulx. Meyers has three points, 12 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-3 rating over 16 games between the Ducks and the Avalanche this season.

Ducks' Ben Meyers: Gets first point with new team
Rotowire
Meyers recorded an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Meyers has played in six of the Ducks' eight games since he was acquired via trade from the Avalanche. The 25-year-old forward has mostly been limited to a bottom-six role, and that's not great for his fantasy value on a low-scoring team. For the season, he's produced two points, 11 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-5 rating through 15 appearances.

Ducks' Ben Meyers: Flipped for pick
Rotowire
Meyers was acquired by the Ducks from Colorado on Friday in exchange for a 2024 fifth-round selection.
Meyers has been struggling to get into the Avs' lineup this season, logging just nine NHL games in which he recorded one goal on seven shots, 12 hits and a minus-2 rating. Meyers was sent to the minors following the trade to maintain eligibility for the AHL playoffs, per the AHL's transaction list, but he was then promptly recalled by the Ducks, so the 25-year-old should see additional NHL opportunities down the stretch.

Avalanche's Ben Meyers: Takes Tatar's spot
Rotowire
Meyers had four hits over 12:20 of ice time in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.
Meyers slotted in at wing on the second line, which had been Tomas Tatar's spot until Colorado traded him to Seattle on Friday. Saturday's ice time marked Meyers' highest total in three games since being called up from AHL Colorado. It's unclear if Meyers will remain in a top-six role going forward, but he's likely to remain in the lineup at least until the return of Artturi Lehkonen (back), which is currently projected as the first week of January.

Avalanche's Ben Meyers: Scores lone goal in overtime loss
Rotowire
Meyers scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Meyers' first-period tally was a bit fluky, as he didn't get off a good shot, but an Oiler helped it into the net behind Stuart Skinner. The 24-year-old Meyers has three goals over his last four contests and four tallies through 38 outings overall. If the Avalanche don't get an injured forward back for the start of the playoffs, Meyers could continue to fill in for a bottom-six job.
