Ducks' Cam Fowler: Shifts to IR
Rotowire
Fowler (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Fowler has already missed the last two games, and his placement on IR rules out a return against Vegas on Wednesday. He has registered two assists, 10 shots on net and 20 blocked shots in 12 appearances this season. Urho Vaakanainen will probably continue to see playing time during Fowler's absence.

Ducks' Cam Fowler: Game-time call Friday
Rotowire
Fowler, who is dealing with an upper-body injury, will be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's matchup with Minnesota, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Fowler hasn't offered much in terms of offensive upside this season with just two helpers through the first 12 contests. The veteran blueliner has seen his role with the man advantage reduced -- he's averaging just 43 seconds of power-play ice time this season compared to 2:21 last year -- which no doubt is a factor in his slow offensive start. If Fowler can't play, Radko Gudas could see an uptick in ice time while Urho Vaakanainen would step back into the lineup.

Ducks' Cam Fowler: Delivers assist in loss
Rotowire
Fowler notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.
Fowler's helper was his first point since Opening Night. The 32-year-old defenseman has seen a diminished power-play role this year, which explains a large part of his slow start on offense. He has just two assists and eight shots on net over eight contests, though he continues to see top-four minutes.

Ducks' Cam Fowler: Sets up empty-netter
Rotowire
Fowler produced an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Fowler picked up the lone helper on Trevor Zegras' empty-netter. The 32-year-old Fowler has had three of his best seasons over the last three years, but the Ducks' ongoing rebuild has introduced younger defensemen into the mix to eat into his role. With no guarantee of power-play time on a team that's still likely to be low-scoring, Fowler could struggle to match last year's 39-point production.

Rotowire
Fowler notched a power-play assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Fowler finished the campaign on a five-game assist streak. The 32-year-old dealt with some challenges as the most veteran member of a young defense corps, but he came away with 39 points, 109 shots on net, 119 blocked shots and a minus-36 rating through 81 games. Fowler remains productive on offense and a minutes-eater defensively, though his fantasy utility varies by format, and that's likely to remain true in 2024-25.

Rotowire
Fowler took a puck to the face and won't return to Thursday's game versus the Sharks, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Fowler was hit in the chin early in the first period. The defenseman was bleeding heavily as he left the ice, and it's apparently a significant enough injury to keep him out of the rest of the contest. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Devils.
