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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact Leason has collected two goals and five assists over his last five contests.

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 has two goals and four assists in his last four appearances.
