Top Performers in Focus


Leo Carlsson has been nothing short of spectacular for the Ducks, especially highlighted by his performance against the Edmonton Oilers where he netted two goals on just two shots, showcasing a perfect shooting percentage. Over the last three games, Carlsson has accumulated four goals, demonstrating not only his scoring ability but also his efficiency on the ice. His knack for being in the right place at the right time has made him a critical asset for Anaheim.


On defense, Jackson LaCombe has emerged as a playmaker with three assists in a single game against Edmonton, coupled with a remarkable plus-five rating that underlines his defensive prowess alongside offensive contributions. LaCombe's ability to read the game and make crucial plays has been vital for the Ducks' recent performances.
