ISAC LUNDESTROM NEWS

Adds helper in win Lundestrom posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

Impact Lundestrom looked to be at risk of heading to the press box regularly in early November after one scratch, but the Blue Jackets have had enough injuries lately to keep him active. He saw a season-high 16:28 of ice time Monday and snapped a 15-game point drought with the helper. On the year, the 26-year-old defensive forward has three assists, 18 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating through 25 appearances. Fantasy managers can do better than that when looking on the waiver wire.

Picks up first assist Lundestrom logged an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact Lundestrom got on the scoresheet for the first time with the Blue Jackets. In addition to the helper, he had three shots on net, four hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances in a fourth-line role. Lundestrom's defensive work is enough to keep him in the lineup, but he's unlikely to score enough to help fantasy managers.

Inks two-year deal Lundestrom signed a two-year, $2.6 million contract with Columbus on Tuesday, per Pierre LeBrun of TSN.

Impact Lundestrom registered four goals, 15 points, 60 shots on net, 68 blocked shots and 48 hits in 79 regular-season outings for Anaheim in 2024-25. As a member of the Blue Jackets, the 25-year-old forward will likely occupy a bottom-six role.

The 25-year-old was limited mainly to a bottom-six role and will now need to seek out other opportunities after spending the first seven years of his career in Anaheim.

Snags assist in Monday's win Lundestrom notched an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact Lundestrom ended a 13-game point drought when he helped out on the second of Cutter Gauthier's two goals in the second period. The 25-year-old Lundestrom continues to play on the fourth line, so his chances to add to the offense are limited. He's managed 15 points in 74 games this season, both marks being his highest totals in three years. He's added 56 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-10 rating over 74 outings.

Good to go Wednesday Lundestrom (illness) is slated to play Wednesday versus the Bruins, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lundestrom didn't practice Tuesday, but it doesn't look like he'll be forced to miss a game. He's slated to center the fourth line Wednesday. The 25-year-old has 14 points over 67 appearances this season, but he's scoreless in his last seven outings.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Under the weather Lundestrom is contending with an illness and was not available for Tuesday's practice, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Sam Colangelo will draw into the lineup Wednesday against the Bruins if Lundestrom is unable to suit up. The 25-year-old Lundestrom has chipped in four goals and 14 points over 67 appearances in 2024-25.

Pockets helper in win Lundestrom logged an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Lundestrom helped out on Sam Colangelo's empty-net tally in the third period. With five helpers over his last seven contests, Lundestrom is in one of his better stretches of the season, but it won't make him a productive player for fantasy. He's contributed a modest 14 points with 52 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 38 hits and a minus-2 rating over 60 appearances as a reliable defensive forward in the Ducks' bottom six.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Offers helper in loss Lundestrom logged an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Lundestrom has four helpers over his last five games, matching his point output from the previous 34 contests. The 25-year-old won't sustain his recent success over a long stretch, but it looks like his offense is balancing out after a relatively poor start to the season. He has 13 points, 50 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 37 hits and a minus-2 rating through 58 appearances in a bottom-six role.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes pair of assists Lundestrom notched two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Lundestrom helped out on tallies by Cutter Gauthier and Troy Terry. Lundestrom has moved up to the third line as part of the ripple effect of Trevor Zegras' suspension. The larger role seems to agree with Lundestrom, who has three helpers over his last two games after earning his first multi-point effort since April 7, 2024 in Thursday's win. For the season, the Swede has 12 points in 55 outings, surpassing his point total (11) from 46 contests a year ago. He's added 44 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating in 2024-25.

Rare power-play helper in loss Lundestrom logged a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Lundestrom was on the ice late in a power play and helped out on Leo Carlsson's tally in the second period. The assist ended a six-game slump for Lundestrom, and it was his first power-play point of the season. He shouldn't be counted on for offense -- the 25-year-old fills a role as a defensive forward in the bottom six. He's at 10 points, 44 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 34 hits and a minus-2 rating across 54 outings in 2024-25.

Registers assist Tuesday Lundestrom posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Kraken.

Impact Lundestrom has two helpers over his last three contests, surpassing his production from his previous 14 games. The 25-year-old has mostly played on the fourth line recently, as the Ducks have plenty of center depth and can mix and match on the first three lines. Lundestrom is up to nine points, 38 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 47 appearances, so he doesn't offer much of anything to interest fantasy managers.

Nabs helper in return Lundestrom logged an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Lundestrom missed only one game due to a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old was able to make a rare contribution on offense Thursday, helping out on Alex Killorn's empty-netter in the third period, ending a six-game point drought. Lundestrom is up to eight points, 37 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 29 hits and a minus-1 rating over 45 appearances. He plays in a bottom-six role on a low-scoring team, so he's not likely to help most fantasy managers.

Set to return Thursday Lundestrom (lower body) is expected to play Thursday versus Pittsburgh, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Impact Lundestrom missed Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Florida due to the injury. He has four goals, seven points, 29 hits and 40 blocks in 44 appearances in 2024-25. Nikita Nesterenko is projected to exit the lineup due to Lundestrom's return.

Impact Lundestrom will miss at least one game after being injured in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Panthers. He has registered four goals, seven points, 37 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 29 hits through 44 appearances. If Trevor Zegras (knee) remains unavailable, Brett Leason could replace Lundestrom in Tuesday's lineup.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains injury Saturday Lundestrom (lower body) did not return to Saturday's game versus the Panthers after being on the receiving end of a knee-on-knee hit.

Impact Lundestrom was ran into by Sam Reinhart, who was given a major and a game misconduct on the hit in the first period. For now, Lundestrom can be considered day-to-day. The Ducks' next game is a rematch with the Panthers on Tuesday in Anaheim.

Draws assist in overtime loss Lundestrom provided an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact Lundestrom continues to be inconsistent on offense. His helper Tuesday ended a seven-game drought, and he has just two points since the start of December. For the season, the 25-year-old forward has seven points, 34 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-2 rating over 38 appearances. He is a defensive forward with too limited scoring potential to be of interest to most fantasy managers.

Impact Lundestrom set the Ducks on the comeback trail with his tally midway through the second period.

For the season, he has four goals, two assists, 30 shots on net, 20 hits, 32 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 30 appearances.

Impact Lundestrom led all Ducks forwards with 18:00 of ice time in this win. The 25-year-old continues to serve in a defensive capacity on the third line, but his usage Wednesday suggests he has plenty of trust from the coaching staff. He's produced five points, 19 shots on net, 11 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 19 appearances this season.
