Impact Vatrano has brought his power-forward best with three goals, two assists, 29 shots and 34 hits over his last eight games.

The winger is up to four goals, nine points, 66 shots, 57 hits, 19 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 20 appearances this season. Vatrano should be a lock for top-six minutes moving forward.

Impact Vatrano ended a three-game slump with his go-ahead goal in the second period, though the Ducks couldn't keep the lead. He's also logged at least four hits in four straight contests, providing high-level physicality in his usual top-six role. The veteran winger is at three goals, eight points, 61 shots on net, 51 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 19 appearances this season.

Offers assist Friday Vatrano logged an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Vatrano set up Ryan Strome's empty-netter to seal the win. This was Vatrano's third straight game with a point (one goal, two assists). The winger may be getting back in a groove on offense while playing on the second line. He's picked up two goals, five assists, 49 shots on net, 31 hits and 14 blocked shots over 15 outings this season.

Scores late in loss Vatrano scored a goal on six shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Vatrano has a goal and an assist over his last two contests since he snapped a four-game drought. The winger's tally with 14 seconds left in regulation gave the Ducks a chance to force overtime, but they didn't do it. Vatrano now has two goals, four assists, 46 shots on net, 29 hits, 13 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances. He is unlikely to repeat last year's 60-point campaign, but the 30-year-old could finish around the 40-point mark while seeing middle-six minutes.

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.

Impact 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.

Two-point effort Tuesday Vatrano scored his first goal of the season and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact It's the first multi-point performance of the season for the 30-year-old winger. Vatrano is coming off a career-best campaign in 2023-24, recording 37 goals and 60 points over 82 games, and he's starting to find that form again with four points in his last six contests.

Back with team Vatrano (personal) participated in the morning skate, according to Patrick Present of The Hockey News, and will be available to play Tuesday against San Jose.

Impact Vatrano missed Monday's practice to attend the birth of his daughter. He will probably occupy a middle-six role and get time on the top power-play unit versus the Sharks. Vatrano has two assists, six shots on goal, five blocked shots and six hits in four appearances this campaign.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from practice Vatrano didn't practice ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Sharks while awaiting the birth of his child, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Vatrano hasn't found the back of the net in four games this season but did pick up helpers in each of his last two outings. If the 30-year-old winger isn't available against San Jose, the team may have to bring up a player from the minors unless Isac Lundestrom (upper body) is cleared to play.

Picks up helper in return Vatrano logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Vatrano missed Friday's game versus the Avalanche while welcoming his child into the world. The winger was back in his familiar third-line role Sunday and earned an assist for the second game in a row. He's added six shots on net, six hits and five blocked shots over four appearances this season. Vatrano should continue to be a source of non-scoring production while playing on a checking line, and he's also seeing ice time in all situations.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from non-roster list Vatrano (personal) was activated from the non-roster list Saturday.

Impact Vatrano missed Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado to attend the birth of his child. He will likely occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play combination versus the Kings on Sunday. Vatrano has one assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in three appearances this season. His return will probably bump Ross Johnston from the lineup.

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • SACBEE.COM

Designated as non-roster player Vatrano won't play Friday against Colorado to attend the birth of his child and was placed on the injured non-roster list.

Impact Vatrano's designation allowed the team to bring Jansen Harkins up from the minors while Ross Johnston will also move into the lineup, likely in Vatrano's third-line spot. With the Ducks heading back home to face the Kings on Sunday, it's possible Vatrano will rejoin the team in time for that contest, though he could also watch to return until a matchup with San Jose on Tuesday.

Pockets helper Wednesday Vatrano recorded an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Vatrano helped out on a Troy Terry goal in the first period. The helper was Vatrano's first point to go with five shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM through three contests. The 30-year-old was a huge part of the Ducks' offense last season with 37 goals and 60 points in 82 regular-season games, but that happened with him averaging 18:21 of ice time. He hasn't seen as much action early in 2024-25 as the Ducks look to have prospects fill larger roles.

Finds twine Friday Vatrano scored a goal on seven shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason shootout win over the Sharks.

Impact Vatrano has two goals over three preseason outings. The 30-year-old had a career year in 2023-24 with 37 goals, 60 points, 156 hits and 272 shots on net over 82 games. He also shot 13.6 percent, which isn't outrageous for him, but is still likely to lead to some regression. It won't help that the additions of Cutter Gauthier and Robby Fabbri are set to eat into some of Vatrano's minutes both on the power play and at even strength. Vatrano can still offer decent category coverage, but he'll be most helpful in formats that don't play with plus-minus rating.

Ends career year with hat trick Vatrano recorded a hat trick in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Vatrano opened the scoring with a power-play tally in the second period, then added an even-strength goal and a shorthanded empty-netter to finish the hat trick in the third. It's a fitting finish to the campaign for the 30-year-old, who broke out in a big way this season with 37 goals and 60 points over 82 contests. He added 272 shots on net, 156 hits, 78 blocked shots, 85 PIM and a minus-20 rating. Vatrano figures to be a veteran leader and mentor for the Ducks in 2024-25, the final year of his current three-year contract.
