Ends dry spell with helper Zellweger notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact Zellweger was a healthy scratch for five straight games prior to the trade deadline. The Ducks then dealt away Brian Dumoulin and brought in Oliver Kylington, allowing Zellweger to move into a full-time role to close out 2024-25. It hasn't been a smooth move so far -- his helper Sunday ended an eight-game skid for Zellweger, who has seen top-four minutes in that span. He's now at 15 points, 104 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances. The 21-year-old still has plenty to learn, but he some of the highest upside on a fairly young blue line, so fantasy managers in dynasty formats should stay patient.

Scores late goal Zellweger tallied a goal, took four shots on net and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss against Detroit.
Impact Zellweger found the back of the net with just over two minutes to play in regulation, which brought the Ducks within striking range before Cutter Gauthier scored the game-tying goal. The 21-year-old blueliner is up to five goals, 14 points, 88 shots on goal and 46 blocks in 43 games this season. While he has been competing for ice time on Anaheim's blue line over the past few months, Sunday's all-around performance helps Zellweger's case to maintain his role. The Ducks have stronger options in fantasy for defensemen, but Zellweger has a bright future if he can replicate Sunday's overall output more frequently.
FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Earns assist in win Zellweger logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
Impact Zellweger ended a nine-game point drought, dating back to Dec. 23, when he assisted on Trevor Zegras' tally in the third period. In that span, Zellweger was scratched 11 times as he continues to compete with Drew Helleson and Pavel Mintyukov for the last two spots on the Ducks' blue line. Zellweger has 13 points, 82 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-2 rating over 40 appearances. He sees power-play time when he's in the lineup, but the inconsistent playing time will make it tough to roster the 21-year-od defenseman in fantasy.
FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE
Spotty playing time in January Zellweger was scratched for the seventh time in 13 games when he sat out Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Impact Zellweger's playing time has been spotty in January. Jackson LaCombe has become an everyday player, leaving Zellweger to compete with Pavel Mintyukov and Drew Helleson for third-pairing minutes. It's a battle Zellweger's been losing lately, and it may lead to him getting reassigned to AHL San Diego eventually. When he's been in action, the 21-year-old has 12 points, 80 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 38 appearances, but given his age, a little extra development time with the Gulls wouldn't hurt.
JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Two assists Sunday Zellweger delivered two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.
Impact Zellweger snapped a 10-game pointless streak Sunday by setting up two of the team's four goals. The 21-year-old is already posting better numbers compared to the ones he delivered as a rookie, as he's up to 12 points (four goals, eight helpers) in 30 games. He should continue to find opportunities to produce from the Ducks' blueline, especially if he remains a member of the power play units.

Zellweger has already secured a career high with 10 points through 19 contests, and he's added 44 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 13 hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating while seeing top-four minutes and power-play time this season.

While the Ducks don't score a lot, Zellweger's role as a top-four option at even strength and a power-play quarterback gives him a decent amount of upside for fantasy.
NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Scores opening goal Monday Zellweger recorded a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Impact Zellweger didn't waste any time to make his presence felt and found the back of the net just 56 seconds into the game to give the Ducks a lead they'd never relinquish. Zellweger has eight points this season, tallying four points and four assists, but he's accounted for 50 percent of that total haul in his last two appearances.

Impact Zellweger opened the scoring at 1:12 of the first period and then set up power-play tallies by Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry late in the game. This was easily the best game of the year for Zellweger, who is likely to see a larger role as long as Cam Fowler (upper body) is out. Through 15 contests, Zellweger has three goals, four assists, 36 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating, and four of his seven points have come on the power play. He's got a fair amount of upside, so he's worth a look in most fantasy formats.

Impact Zellweger tallied at 5:35 of the first period, but the Canucks had the rest of the goals in the game.

He's up to two goals, two assists, 28 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 11 appearances. The 21-year-old has earned two of his points on the power play, and he remains a decent option for fantasy managers in deeper formats who need some scoring potential on the blue line.
NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Pots first goal Zellweger scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
Impact The 21-year-old spoiled Jonathan Quick's shutout bid midway through the third period, but it was the only offensive highlight for the Ducks.

Impact Zellweger picked up his first point over three appearances this season when he set up Troy Terry's equalizer late in the third period. The 21-year-old Zellweger has added eight shots on net and a plus-2 rating. He's not guaranteed a spot in the lineup, especially once Jackson LaCombe (illness) returns, but fantasy managers in dynasty formats should still be excited for Zellweger's potential in his first full campaign.

MARCH 31, 2024 • YOUTUBE
Posts helper Thursday Zellweger registered an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Zellweger snapped a seven-game point drought with the assist. The 20-year-old has been over 20 minutes of ice time in six of 11 games in March, and he's also seeing fairly steady power-play time. The rookie blueliner has just three helpers over 15 contests, so his fantasy value remains limited in redraft formats, though his future is bright.
