Leo Carlsson

Leo Carlsson

#91

C · Anaheim Ducks

The centre the rebuild was for, and last season he started looking like it.

Lukas Dostal

Lukas Dostal

#1

G · Anaheim Ducks

The goaltender this club has committed to, coming off the season that made the commitment a question.

Cutter Gauthier

Cutter Gauthier

#61

LW · Anaheim Ducks

Forty-one goals, and almost none of them from where you would expect a forty-goal scorer to stand.

Mikael Granlund

Mikael Granlund

#64

C · Anaheim Ducks

Six hundred and fifty-one career points, and a body of work that keeps outrunning the eye test.

A.J. Greer

A.J. Greer

#18

LW · Anaheim Ducks

The argument that the fourth-line tough guy has become a hockey player.

James Hamblin

James Hamblin

#38

LW · Anaheim Ducks

Five foot ten, undrafted, and thirty-one games without a single penalty minute.

14

Drew Helleson

D · Anaheim Ducks

Six foot three, a second-round pedigree, and the worst underlying season of any regular here.

Ville Husso

Ville Husso

#33

G · Anaheim Ducks

A career .900 goaltender, and two straight seasons well below it.

Nick Jensen

Nick Jensen

#4

D · Anaheim Ducks

Gives up shots and refuses to give up chances, which is a rarer skill than it sounds.

Alex Killorn

Alex Killorn

#17

LW · Anaheim Ducks

A thousand games, two Cups, and a role here that has quietly become teaching.

Chris Kreider

Chris Kreider

#20

LW · Anaheim Ducks

Thirty-five, and still the only man on this roster who does his scoring from the blue paint.

Jackson LaCombe

Jackson LaCombe

#2

D · Anaheim Ducks

Forty-eight assists and more ice time than anyone on the roster, and still not the name anyone leads with.

Jeff Malott

Jeff Malott

#39

LW · Anaheim Ducks

Six foot five, seventy-one career games at thirty, and the best on-ice rate on the roster.

Pavel Mintyukov

Pavel Mintyukov

#98

D · Anaheim Ducks

A tenth overall pick at 22 with 204 games behind him, and the numbers have not started agreeing yet.

3

Ian Moore

D · Anaheim Ducks

A minus-fourteen that the arithmetic refuses to blame him for.

13

Nikita Nesterenko

C · Anaheim Ducks

Eight assists in twenty-nine games from a sixth-round pick who keeps almost sticking.

Ryan Poehling

Ryan Poehling

#25

C · Anaheim Ducks

A first-round pick who found a real job several years and several clubs later.

Beckett Sennecke

Beckett Sennecke

#45

RW · Anaheim Ducks

Sixty points as a nineteen-year-old rookie, and a minus-twelve that says less than it looks.

Troy Terry

Troy Terry

#19

RW · Anaheim Ducks

The most complete forward here, and the one most likely to be somewhere else.

Frank Vatrano

Frank Vatrano

#77

RW · Anaheim Ducks

A hundred and eighty-six career goals, five of them last season, and underlying numbers that fell off the table.

42

Tim Washe

C · Anaheim Ducks

Undrafted, twenty-five, and shooting from the right places without the puck going in.

How they were used

2025-26 · 82 games

Measured from shift charts at five-on-five, not projected. Units are built from the strongest partnership outward and ordered by how much they were used; the percentage is the share of the first player’s five-on-five ice time spent alongside each linemate. A low number means the club never settled on a combination. Players who have gone are marked — either to another club, or off an NHL roster altogether, which covers retirement and an unsigned summer alike.
