Leo Carlsson records three assists in Ducks overtime win over Panthers

Fantasy hockey: Carlsson set up all three Anaheim goals on Sunday, though he managed just one shot in 20:26 and his recent averages remain modest.

Leo Carlsson recorded three assists in Anaheim's 3-2 overtime win over Florida on Sunday, October 4. The center played 20:26, adding two blocks but just one shot and finishing minus-1.

The three-assist night stands well above his recent averages of 0.36 goals and 0.44 assists per game, but the single shot and typical ice time suggest it was one game. His underlying play grades 90 out of 100 among forwards (shots, scoring chances and ice time), a read on how sustainable his scoring is.

Leo Carlsson

Carlsson averages 0.80 points, 2.3 shots and 19:23 a night over his 190-game sample. The three assists came without more shots or minutes than usual. He runs the top power-play unit (3:14 per game, first among all Anaheim skaters) and contributes 0.19 power-play points per game.

Anaheim plays four more games this week (Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday), giving Carlsson a full slate to work with. His averages put him in the middle tier of center options. Keep him rostered in standard formats but do not overreact to a single performance that came with limited shot volume.

What to do

• Keep Carlsson rostered in all formats and let him play through his four remaining games this week.

• Do not stream anyone based on this single three-assist performance, which came with just one shot.

• Monitor his shot totals over the coming games to see if his usage is actually changing.
