Sprong was recalled from AHL San Diego on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has 18 points in 24 games in the minors in 2019-20, and he'll hope his AHL success follows him to the NHL. Anaheim is dealing with several injuries to key players, so the 22-year-old winger could find himself playing as early as Sunday.

Sprong was waived by the Ducks for the purpose of reassignment Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong displayed an appealing scoring touch last year after being traded to the Ducks, registering 14 goals, five assists and 109 shots on net over 47 games. The 22-year-old is a bottom-six winger who can also work on the power play, and he could add solid depth to a team dealing with injuries to start the season. If he goes unclaimed, however, he'll start the year with AHL San Diego.

Sprong scored his 14th goal of the season in a 5-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The goal, coming late in the second period, stood as the game-winning score. Sprong has accumulated 23 points in 63 games between the Ducks and Penguins this year, as well as firing 125 shots on goal. He's a second-round pick from 2015, and may be able to carve out a larger role in 2019-20.

Sprong scored again Tuesday in a 3-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has three tallies on his last four shots, coming in a three-game goal scoring stretch for the winger. He went plus-2 in Tuesday's contest. The second round pick from 2015 now has 20 points (12 goals, eight assists) over 53 appearances this year. While he's hot, he could make for a good DFS value pick Thursday against the Coyotes or Friday at the Avalanche. Bear in mind, he remains on the fourth line despite his recent success.

Sprong scored for the second game in a row in the Ducks' loss to the Kings on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
It was a goal befitting a fourth-liner, as Kings goalie Jonathan Quick failed to clear a puck past Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf, and the ricochet landed in front of an open net to Sprong, who scored his 11th goal of the season.

Sprong scored his 10th goal of the season in Friday's 8-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong's tally 6:39 into the first period opened a veritable flood of goals for the usually moribund Ducks offense. Sprong has a career-high 18 points in 51 games between the Penguins and Ducks this season, his first full campaign at the NHL level. The Dutch winger doesn't have much physicality in his game, however, and his fantasy value is minor for the remainder of this season.

Sprong has only one goal in twelve appearances since the All-Star break.
EDGE Analysis
He's found himself in the press box a bit, getting healthy scratched four times in that span. Sprong is shooting at a healthy rate of over two shots per game since being traded to the Ducks, but the scoring success he found initially has dried up.

Sprong had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last five games after delivering just two goals in his previous nine games. Sprong is a talented winger, but young. He needs to find consistency, so perhaps this five-game spread is a tonic that will nourish a post All-Star bump.

Sprong notched a goal in his first game in a Ducks uniform against Chicago on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong -- who was swapped for defenseman Marcus Pettersson on Monday -- was immediately slotted into a top-six role with his new club, something that wasn't going to happen in Pittsburgh. The winger will have his first chance at a revenge game versus his former club Dec. 17 at PPG Paints Arena.

Sprong was traded from the Penguins to the Ducks in exchange for Marcus Pettersson on Monday, Frank Seravalli of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong had a great year in the AHL last season, notching 32 goals and 33 assists in 65 games. However, he hasn't been able to stick with the Penguins. The 21-year-old has played in 16 games this season, but he's averaged 8:34 in ice time, and has been a healthy scratch recently. The Ducks have less depth at forward. This could be the chance Sprong needs to finally crack a lineup regularly.
