Vatrano logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Vatrano missed Friday's game versus the Avalanche while welcoming his child into the world. The winger was back in his familiar third-line role Sunday and earned an assist for the second game in a row. He's added six shots on net, six hits and five blocked shots over four appearances this season. Vatrano should continue to be a source of non-scoring production while playing on a checking line, and he's also seeing ice time in all situations.

Vatrano (personal) was activated from the non-roster list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Vatrano missed Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado to attend the birth of his child. He will likely occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play combination versus the Kings on Sunday. Vatrano has one assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in three appearances this season. His return will probably bump Ross Johnston from the lineup.

Vatrano won't play Friday against Colorado to attend the birth of his child and was placed on the injured non-roster list.

EDGE Analysis

Vatrano's designation allowed the team to bring Jansen Harkins up from the minors, while Ross Johnston will also move into the lineup, likely in Vatrano's third-line spot. With the Ducks heading back home to face the Kings on Sunday, it's possible Vatrano will rejoin the team in time for that matchup, though he could also wait to return until a matchup with San Jose on Tuesday.

Vatrano recorded an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Vatrano helped out on a Troy Terry goal in the first period. The helper was Vatrano's first point to go with five shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM through three contests. The 30-year-old was a huge part of the Ducks' offense last season with 37 goals and 60 points in 82 regular-season games, but that happened with him averaging 18:21 of ice time. He hasn't seen as much action early in 2024-25 as the Ducks look to have prospects fill larger roles.

Vatrano scored a goal on seven shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason shootout win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Vatrano has two goals over three preseason outings. The 30-year-old had a career year in 2023-24 with 37 goals, 60 points, 156 hits and 272 shots on net over 82 games. He also shot 13.6 percent, which isn't outrageous for him, but is still likely to lead to some regression. It won't help that the additions of Cutter Gauthier and Robby Fabbri are set to eat into some of Vatrano's minutes both on the power play and at even strength. Vatrano can still offer decent category coverage, but he'll be most helpful in formats that don't play with plus-minus rating.

Vatrano recorded a hat trick in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Vatrano opened the scoring with a power-play tally in the second period, then added an even-strength goal and a shorthanded empty-netter to finish the hat trick in the third. It's a fitting finish to the campaign for the 30-year-old, who broke out in a big way this season with 37 goals and 60 points over 82 contests. He added 272 shots on net, 156 hits, 78 blocked shots, 85 PIM and a minus-20 rating. Vatrano figures to be a veteran leader and mentor for the Ducks in 2024-25, the final year of his current three-year contract.

EDGE Analysis

Vatrano has a helper in each of the last two games, but he ended March with seven points over 16 contests in the month. The 30-year-old forward has slowed down, likely in part due to the Ducks' semi-frequent shuffling of the forward lines. He's up to 53 points, 249 shots on net, 138 hits and a minus-24 rating through through 75 appearances with ample time in all situations.
