Brett Leason - NHL News & Rumors

Snags two-way deal Leason inked a one-year, two-way contract with San Jose on Thursday.

Impact Leason logged just six games for the Capitals last year, failing to register a point while notching 10 hits and one shot. At this point, the 27-year-old winger is more of an organizational depth piece that will help San Jose's minor-league system. As such, fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him to make much of an impact.

Earns three points in Hershey's win Leason scored twice and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 6-3 win over Utica on Wednesday.

Impact Leason had gone 11 games without a goal. He earned seven assists in that span and has been largely productive since rejoining Hershey in mid-January following an NHL stint. The veteran forward has 11 goals, 29 points and a plus-8 rating across 35 appearances with the Bears this season, his most productive AHL campaign yet.

Three points in AHL overtime loss Leason scored twice and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 5-4 overtime loss to Hartford on Tuesday.

Impact Leason continues to do well in the AHL. He's earned 17 points over 21 contests. This was his first game back from a stint in the NHL, where he was held scoreless in six outings. Leason's experienced enough to fill in as a fourth-line option for the Capitals, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy appeal even if he gets another call-up.

Returned to AHL Leason was assigned to AHL Hershey on Sunday.

Impact Leason hasn't earned a point in six NHL appearances this season while posting 10 hits. He has notched six goals and eight assists in 20 AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Tallies twice in AHL win Leason scored two goals in AHL Hershey's 3-2 win over Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Leason has been steady since rejoining the Capitals' organization in October. He debuted with Hershey on Nov. 14 and has earned four goals -- all within his last five games -- and five assists over 10 appearances for the Bears. Leason had 17 points in 62 regular-season outings with the Ducks last year, but he won't have an easy opportunity to get onto the Capitals' NHL roster this year.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signs two-way deal Leason signed a one-year, two-way contract with Washington on Monday.

Impact Leason will be placed on waivers Monday to be assigned to AHL Hershey if he clears. The 26-year-old forward had five goals, 17 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits across 62 appearances with Anaheim during the 2024-25 regular season.

Impact Leason registered five goals, 17 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits through 62 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2024-25. With the NHL regular season just around the corner, he will need to find another place to play quickly.

Inks PTO Leason signed a professional tryout agreement with the Wild on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Leason spent last season with the Ducks, tallying five goals, 12 assists, 79 shots on goal and 64 hits across 62 regular-season games. The 26-year-old will look to secure a spot as a bottom-six forward with Minnesota in training camp.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No qualifying offer Anaheim didn't tender a qualifying offer to Leason on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Impact Leason generated five goals, 17 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits across 62 appearances with the Ducks during the 2024-25 regular season. If Anaheim doesn't circle back to him, he will look to land a bottom-six role with a different team in free agency.

JUNE 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Leason has earned three helpers over the last two games after going eight appearances without a point. The 25-year-old winger helped out on Jackson LaCombe's tally in the second period. 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.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2025 • 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.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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 has held onto a middle-six role for much of the season, and that's come with power-play time since mid-November. He has a total of 10 points, 29 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 20 appearances.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies in Wednesday's win Leason scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Leason has three goals and five assists over his last eight games. He hasn't been scratched since Nov. 8, and it appears he's secured a middle-six spot in the lineup. 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.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shines in win over Dallas Leason posted one goal and two assists, including one in the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Leason was the undisputed star in Monday's huge win for the Ducks, as he got involved in three of the team's four goals. 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.

Provides pair of helpers Leason logged two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Leason has three points over his last two games while filling in for Mason McTavish (upper body). The 25-year-old Leason was on the third line Wednesday and saw a season-high 15:02 of ice time. He has four points, 10 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating over 10 appearances. He'll likely continue to fill a bottom-six role and offers little scoring upside -- fantasy managers can find better depth options on the waiver wire.
