Carlsson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
The goal was Carlsson's first point in five games since he returned from an upper-body injury. He saw 17:11 of ice time Friday, his highest total in that span -- he's been on the second line lately compared to his first-line role before the injury. Carlsson is at seven goals, five assists, 33 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 25 appearances. The 19-year-old has plenty of upside in long-term formats, but his fantasy value isn't particularly strong in redraft leagues right now.

Rotowire
Carlsson posted two assists, including one on the power play, in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Carlsson picked up his second multi-point effort in this contest. He has three points over his last three contests, bouncing back from a four-game slump before that.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Lights lamp in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Carlsson ended a four-game slump with his tally midway through the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. The 19-year-old center has had to deal with frequent changes in linemates as head coach Greg Cronin looks for combinations to spark an offense that has scored three or more goals just five times in 14 contests. Carlsson is at five tallies, two assists, 26 shots on net and a minus-3 rating this season, and he should continue to be a fixture in the top six and on the power play.

Carlsson scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
Carlsson is up to four points over two preseason appearances after playing a leading role Wednesday.

He could be poised for a breakout in 2024-25, especially if the team around him also takes a step forward.
