Ducks' Ross Johnston: Sends helper Sunday
Johnston notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Johnston has played in all four of the Ducks' games in November. He may have some short-term job security while Mason McTavish (upper body) is out, but Johnston is expected to spend much of the campaign competing with Brett Leason for one spot in the lineup. Johnston is up to two assists, three shots on goal, 28 hits and 14 PIM over eight outings this season while filling an enforcer role.

Ducks' Brian Dumoulin: Collects helper in win
Dumoulin notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Dumoulin set up Leo Carlsson's goal at 10:20 of the third period, which was the game-winner. The helper snapped a nine-game slump for Dumoulin. The 33-year-old defenseman is maintaining a top-four role for the Ducks, but he has limited fantasy value since he doesn't score much. Through 14 appearances, he has three assists, 20 shots on net, 16 hits and 28 blocked shots while averaging 19:08 of ice time.

Ducks' Radko Gudas: Assists in consecutive contests
Gudas produced an assist, five hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Gudas has a helper in back-to-back games after going 12 contests without a point to begin the season. He saw a season-high 22:18 of ice time Sunday as Cam Fowler (upper body) remained out of the lineup. Gudas has two assists, 11 shots on net, 10 PIM, 46 hits and 41 blocked shots as a physical force on the Ducks' blue line.

Ducks' Brock McGinn: Puts up helper
McGinn logged an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
McGinn helped out on Isac Lundestrom's empty-netter to close out the scoring. The 30-year-old McGinn continues to be a bottom-six fixture for the Ducks, though he was on the third line Sunday as opposed to his usual fourth-line spot. He's now at five points, 12 shots on net, 40 hits, 20 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances. His lack of offense will keep him out of contention for most fantasy rosters.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Slings helper in win
Vatrano logged an assist, three shots on goal, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Vatrano snapped a four-game slump with his helper on an Isac Lundestrom empty-netter. As expected, Vatrano has endured significant regression to begin 2024-25, though the Ducks as a team are not generating much offense. The winger is at five points, 40 shots on net, 27 hits, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances. Despite being well behind his 60-point pace from last season, Vatrano should continue to see steady middle-six minutes.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Records assist in Sunday's win
Strome notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Strome has been limited to two assists over the last six games, a span in which the Ducks have scored just 13 goals. The 31-year-old is at seven points, 29 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 14 contests overall. Strome's role remains in flux as head coach Greg Cronin continues to shuffle his lines in an attempt to create chemistry, but the veteran forward should see at least middle-six minutes and some power-play time on a regular basis.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Generates helper in win
Gauthier logged an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Gauthier has three helpers over his last seven outings. His ice time has been in decline lately, and he reached a new low with just 9:30 in Sunday's contest. The winger has five assists, 35 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances. It's unclear if the Ducks will prioritize Gauthier's confidence or getting him NHL experience -- if it's the former, he could be a candidate for a stint in the AHL at some point.

Ducks' Troy Terry: Adds helper in win
Terry notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Terry picked up his third helper over the last four games when he helped out on a Jackson LaCombe tally in the second period. While he's still waiting for a multi-point effort, Terry has gotten on the scoresheet in 11 of 14 contests this season, earning five goals, six helpers and 34 shots. He continues to hold down a top-six role and should offer steady offense even though he's not an impact player in non-scoring areas.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Fills empty cage
Lundestrom scored an empty-net goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Lundestrom was able to seal the win for the Ducks after Kirill Marchenko pulled the Blue Jackets within one at 16:57 of the third period. The tally was Lundestrom's second goal of the season and his first point in eight contests. The 25-year-old forward is up to three points, 12 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 12 appearances this season. He's likely to spend most of the campaign in a bottom-six role as a defensive center.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Breaks slump with goal
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' Jackson LaCombe: Nets go-ahead goal Sunday
LaCombe scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
LaCombe has struggled to keep his place in the lineup this season -- he missed the first four games due to an illness and has since been scratched twice. The 23-year-old defenseman saw a season-high 21:52 of ice time Sunday and should have some short-term stability in his role while Cam Fowler (upper body) is out. LaCombe has two points, 13 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating across eight appearances.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Lights lamp in Sunday's win
Carlsson scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Carlsson ended a four-game slump with his tally midway through the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. The 19-year-old center has had to deal with frequent changes in linemates as head coach Greg Cronin looks for combinations to spark an offense that has scored three or more goals just five times in 14 contests. Carlsson is at five tallies, two assists, 26 shots on net and a minus-3 rating this season, and he should continue to be a fixture in the top six and on the power play.

Ducks' John Gibson: Wins season debut
Gibson stopped 38 of 40 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Gibson missed all of the preseason and the first month of the regular season while recovering from an appendectomy. He looked great in his return, though the Ducks' defense didn't make his job any easier. Gibson is no stranger to heavy workloads -- over the last three seasons, the Ducks are tied for the most shots against per game at 35.0, and they're giving up slightly more (35.3) per game to begin 2024-25. Lukas Dostal has handled a starter's workload in Gibson's absence, but this could very well turn into a timeshare, which might yield the best results for both goalies. James Reimer is also on the roster, and the Ducks are under no pressure to waive him until they need an extra skater, as they are far closer to the cap floor than the ceiling. A clearer picture of Anaheim's goaltending plans could come this week as they host the Golden Knights on Wednesday and the Red Wings on Friday.

Ducks' Cam Fowler: Sidelined versus Columbus
Fowler (upper body) won't play in Sunday's home matchup against the Blue Jackets, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Fowler skated in warmups for a second consecutive game, but he's not yet ready to return. The Ontario native has picked up two assists over 12 games this season. The 32-year-old's next chance to suit up will be at home Thursday versus the Golden Knights.

Ducks' Mason McTavish: Missing Sunday's game
McTavish is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and won't suit up for Sunday's tilt against Columbus.
McTavish will miss his first game of the season after being unable to practice Saturday. The 21-year-old has produced two goals and eight assists through 13 contests. Brett Leason or Ross Johnston are likely candidates to be replaced by McTavish in the lineup once the left-shot center is ready to return.

Ducks' John Gibson: Making first start of season
Gibson will be between the pipes for Sunday home's matchup versus Columbus, Derek Lee of The Hockey News relays.
Gibson will make his first appearance of the 2024-25 campaign Sunday after undergoing an appendectomy in September. The 31-year-old could push James Reimer out of the goaltender rotation now that the former is healthy. Gibson went 13-27-2 with an .888 save percentage and a 3.54 GAA over 46 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Ducks' Mason McTavish: Dealing with tightness
McTavish (undisclosed) didn't practice Saturday, and it's unclear if he will play Sunday versus Columbus, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Coach Greg Cronin said McTavish is "dealing with some tightness." The 21-year-old McTavish scored his second goal of 2024-25 in Friday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota. He has eight points, 23 shots on net, eight blocked shots and nine hits through 13 appearances this season.

Ducks' Urho Vaakanainen: Draws assist Friday
Vaakanainen logged an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Vaakanainen stayed in the lineup for the second game in a row since Cam Fowler (upper body) was unavailable. The 25-year-old Vaakanainen has played in three games this season, earning two shots on net, five blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. He'll likely see a fairly limited role when he plays while also being a candidate to be scratched when the Ducks' defense is fully healthy.
