Leason scored twice and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 5-4 overtime loss to Hartford on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leason continues to do well in the AHL. He's earned 17 points over 21 contests. This was his first game back from a stint in the NHL, where he was held scoreless in six outings. Leason's experienced enough to fill in as a fourth-line option for the Capitals, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy appeal even if he gets another call-up.

EDGE Analysis
Leason hasn't earned a point in six NHL appearances this season while posting 10 hits. He has notched six goals and eight assists in 20 AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Leason was called up from AHL Hershey on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leason could be pressed into service against the Stars on Wednesday if Tom Wilson (lower body) is unable to play. In his 62 regular-season appearances for the Ducks last year, the 26-year-old Leason notched five goals, 12 assists and 79 shots while averaging 12:59 of ice time.

Leason scored two goals in AHL Hershey's 3-2 win over Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Leason has been steady since rejoining the Capitals' organization in October. He debuted with Hershey on Nov. 14 and has earned four goals -- all within his last five games -- and five assists over 10 appearances for the Bears. Leason had 17 points in 62 regular-season outings with the Ducks last year, but he won't have an easy opportunity to get onto the Capitals' NHL roster this year.

Leason signed a one-year, two-way contract with Washington on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Leason will be placed on waivers Monday to be assigned to AHL Hershey if he clears. The 26-year-old forward had five goals, 17 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits across 62 appearances with Anaheim during the 2024-25 regular season.

Minnesota released Leason from his professional tryout agreement Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leason registered five goals, 17 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits through 62 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2024-25. With the NHL regular season just around the corner, he will need to find another place to play quickly.

Leason signed a professional tryout agreement with the Wild on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leason spent last season with the Ducks, tallying five goals, 12 assists, 79 shots on goal and 64 hits across 62 regular-season games. The 26-year-old will look to secure a spot as a bottom-six forward with Minnesota in training camp.

Anaheim didn't tender a qualifying offer to Leason on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent.
EDGE Analysis
Leason generated five goals, 17 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits across 62 appearances with the Ducks during the 2024-25 regular season. If Anaheim doesn't circle back to him, he will look to land a bottom-six role with a different team in free agency.

Leason provided an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Leason notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
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.
