Rotowire
Lundestrom sustained an apparent upper-body injury in Wednesday's game versus Utah, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
There was no update on Lundestrom's status after the game. The 24-year-old forward has filled a fourth-line role this season. If Lundestrom can't play Friday in Colorado, Ross Johnston could draw into the lineup, while Brett Leason would likely move over to center.
Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Lundestrom suffered a minor injury at Thursday's practice but was able to shake it off before the season opener. The 24-year-old has seen his role diminished to begin 2024-25 thanks to the Ducks' influx of young talent. He's likely to spend most of the season as a fourth-line center, though Lundestrom's defensive instincts should keep him in the lineup regularly. He was limited to 11 points, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating over 46 appearances in 2023-24 while averaging 14:20 of ice time per game.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Sends assist in loss
Rotowire
Lundestrom notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
Lundestrom has gone seven games without a goal, but he has four assists in that span, which is more than he usually contributes.

Rotowire
Lundestrom notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Lundestrom had a rough March on offense, but he picked up two points over the last three games of the month to show a spark. The 24-year-old forward has routinely seen third-line minutes this season, which gives him little upside in a weak offense. He's at eight points, 29 shots on net, 43 hits, 21 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 39 outings, but he's unlikely to score enough to help fantasy managers.
