Leason provided an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Leason is the latest forward to get a look on the third line after injuries have sidelined Sam Colangelo (upper body) and Nikita Nesterenko (undisclosed). The 25-year-old Leason continues to be a versatile winger for the Ducks, though they have primarily kept him in the bottom six this year. He has two assists over nine outings in March, and he's up to 17 points, 77 shots on net, 60 hits, 43 blocks and an even plus-minus rating through 58 appearances overall.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Ends drought with assist
Rotowire
Leason notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Leason had gone 10 games without a point entering Wednesday, though it's encouraging he stayed in the lineup during the slump. The 25-year-old is limited to a bottom-six role, giving him minimal fantasy appeal, especially when he's cold on offense. For the season, Leason has 16 points, 74 shots on net, 56 hits, 33 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 52 appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Distributes two assists
Rotowire
Leason provided a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Leason snapped an eight-game point drought with this performance. He was also scratched for a couple of contests earlier in January and has mainly played on the fourth line with his offense faltering compared to earlier in the season. The Ducks are also as healthy as they'll be for the rest of the campaign at forward, so there isn't much of an opportunity for Leason to move up. The 25-year-old has five goals, nine assists, 57 shots on net, 45 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 40 appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Breakaway goal in loss
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.
Leason got a step on an Edmonton defender and converted on a breakaway in the second period to get the Ducks on the board. The goal snapped a five-game slump for Leason, who has tallied twice and added nine shots on net over seven outings since he was scratched for a pair of games Dec. 18 and 20. The 25-year-old winger has mainly filled a middle-six role this season, accumulating five goals, seven helpers, 48 shots on net, 36 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 31 appearances. Leason's mix of offense and slight physicality could help in deep fantasy formats.

Rotowire
Leason managed an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
Leason helped out on a Brock McGinn tally in the third period. Over the prior six games, Leason had been limited to one goal. The 25-year-old winger has held onto a middle-six role for much of the season, and that's come with power-play time since mid-November. He has a total of 10 points, 29 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 20 appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Tallies in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Leason has three goals and five assists over his last eight games. He hasn't been scratched since Nov. 8, and it appears he's secured a middle-six spot in the lineup. The 25-year-old winger is up to three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-4 rating through 16 appearances. That's enough offense and physical play to be an option in deep fantasy formats.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Shines in win over Dallas
Rotowire
Leason posted one goal and two assists, including one in the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Leason was the undisputed star in Monday's huge win for the Ducks, as he got involved in three of the team's four goals. He doubled Anaheim's lead to two goals with a snap shot less than six minutes into the first period, and then provided setups in the goals scored by Cutter Gauthier and Jackson LaCombe. The three points in a single game were a season-best mark for the 25-year-old winger, who's trending in the right direction following a slow start to the campaign. He has two goals and four assists in his last four appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Provides pair of helpers
Rotowire
Leason logged two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Leason has three points over his last two games while filling in for Mason McTavish (upper body). The 25-year-old Leason was on the third line Wednesday and saw a season-high 15:02 of ice time. He has four points, 10 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating over 10 appearances. He'll likely continue to fill a bottom-six role and offers little scoring upside -- fantasy managers can find better depth options on the waiver wire.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Breaks slump with goal
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Leason has struggled this season -- he earned an assist Opening Night versus the Sharks and then went scoreless over seven outings. Lately, that lack of offense has cost him his spot in the lineup, but he checked back in Sunday due to Mason McTavish (upper body tightness) being unavailable. Leason has two points, nine shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating through nine outings. When the Ducks are healthy up front, he's likely to compete with Ross Johnston for the last spot in the lineup.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Nabs assist in win
Rotowire
Leason provided an assist and two hits in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Leason begins 2024-25 in a fourth-line role that saw him rack up 11 goals, 11 assists, 91 shots on net and 79 hits over 68 appearances in 2023-24. He's off to a positive start after helping out on an Isac Lundestrom tally in the third period. Leason has a bit of sneaky offense and can kill penalties, but given his limited role in a weak offense, he's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Hands out helper Sunday
Rotowire
Leason notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Rotowire
Leason picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Gathers helper in win
Rotowire
Leason provided an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Senators.
With the Ducks missing a number of key forwards, Leason served on the second line and actually saw ice time in line with that assignment (17:41). The 24-year-old has more often been in a bottom-six role this season, though he's occasionally been listed on the second line as well. He has four points over his last five outings and 16 points, 67 shots on net, 52 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 48 contests overall.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Nets shortie Thursday
Rotowire
Leason scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
Leason has three points over two games since he returned from a six-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old's tally Thursday gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead in the first period. Leason is far from a lock for the lineup, though he could benefit if the Ducks offload forwards at the trade deadline, as long as he's not one of the players on the move. Leason is up to eight goals, 15 points, 65 shots on net, 49 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 45 appearances. His tally Thursday was his first career special-teams point.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Checks in with two points
Rotowire
Leason scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.
Leason had been scratched for six straight games, and he played like he didn't want to go back to the press box any time soon. The 24-year-old helped out on Isac Lundestrom's second-period tally before scoring a goal of his own in the third. Leason has been okay for a bottom-six forward with 14 points, 61 shots on net, 48 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 44 appearances this season. He was in the lineup due to Troy Terry (upper body) being held out. Leason likely won't do enough to help in fantasy, but he could push Ross Johnston or Max Jones out of the lineup.
