Brett Leason - NHL News & Rumors

Notches helper Thursday Leason provided an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Leason is the latest forward to get a look on the third line after injuries have sidelined Sam Colangelo (upper body) and Nikita Nesterenko (undisclosed). The 25-year-old Leason continues to be a versatile winger for the Ducks, though they have primarily kept him in the bottom six this year. He has two assists over nine outings in March, and he's up to 17 points, 77 shots on net, 60 hits, 43 blocks and an even plus-minus rating through 58 appearances overall.

Ends drought with assist Leason notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Leason had gone 10 games without a point entering Wednesday, though it's encouraging he stayed in the lineup during the slump. The 25-year-old is limited to a bottom-six role, giving him minimal fantasy appeal, especially when he's cold on offense. For the season, Leason has 16 points, 74 shots on net, 56 hits, 33 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 52 appearances.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up helper Leason notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Kraken.

Leason continues to be a regular in the bottom six, earning 15 points, 60 shots on net, 46 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 41 outings this season.

Distributes two assists Leason provided a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Leason ended his eight-game slump in this performance. He was also scratched for a couple of contests earlier in January and has mainly played on the fourth line with his offense faltering compared to earlier in the season. The Ducks are also as healthy as they'll be for the rest of the campaign at forward, so there's not much of an opportunity for Leason to move up. The 25-year-old has five goals, nine assists, 57 shots on net, 45 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 40 appearances.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Breakaway goal in loss Leason scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Leason got a step on an Edmonton defender and converted on a breakaway in the second period to get the Ducks on the board. The goal snapped a five-game slump for Leason, who has tallied twice and added nine shots on net over seven outings since he was scratched for a pair of games Dec. 18 and 20. The 25-year-old winger has mainly filled a middle-six role this season, accumulating five goals, seven helpers, 48 shots on net, 36 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 31 appearances. Leason's mix of offense and slight physicality could help in deep fantasy formats.

Ties game on power play Leason scored a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.

Impact Leason had been a healthy scratch for the prior two contests. He returned to action in a fourth-line role and snapped an eight-game goal drought with the game-tying tally in the third period. Leason has four goals, 11 points, 41 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-2 rating through 25 appearances. He's averaged 51 seconds per game on the power play this year, but he was out of the mix for time in that situation just before his time in the press box. Without a more prominent spot in the lineup, he lacks upside in most fantasy formats.

Produces assist Friday Leason managed an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact Leason helped out on a Brock McGinn tally in the third period. Over the prior six games, Leason had been limited to one goal.

The 25-year-old winger is up to three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-4 rating through 16 appearances. That's enough offense and physical play to be an option in deep fantasy formats.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Adds assist Tuesday Leason recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Leason has collected two goals and five assists over his last five contests. Prior to that, he had been a healthy scratch in five of six games, but it's clear he doesn't want to go back to the press box any time soon. The 25-year-old is at eight points, 14 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 13 appearances this season. Leason probably won't sustain his recent pace -- he typically fills a bottom-six role with fewer chances to produce offense.

He doubled Anaheim's lead to two goals with a snap shot less than six minutes into the first period, and then provided set-ups in the goals scored by Cutter Gauthier and Jackson LaCombe. The three points in a single game were a season-best mark for the 25-year-old winger, who's trending in the right direction following a slow start to the season. He has two goals and four assists in his last four appearances.

He's off to a positive start after helping out on an Isac Lundestrom tally in the third period.

Impact Leason has three points over two games since he returned from a six-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old's tally Thursday gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead in the first period. Leason is far from a lock for the lineup, though he could benefit if the Ducks offload forwards at the trade deadline -- as long as he's not one of the players on the move. Leason is up to eight goals, 15 points, 65 shots on net, 49 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 45 appearances. His tally Thursday was his first career special-teams point.

The 24-year-old helped out on Isac Lundestrom's second-period tally before scoring a goal of his own in the third. Leason has been okay for a bottom-six forward with 14 points, 61 shots on net, 48 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 44 appearances this season. He was in the lineup due to Troy Terry (upper body) being held out. Leason likely won't do enough to help in fantasy, but he could push Ross Johnston or Max Jones out of the lineup.
