Carlsson scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson is up to four points over two preseason appearances after playing a leading role Wednesday. The 19-year-old center's rookie campaign was abbreviated by a workload management plan and multiple injuries, which limited him to 29 points in 55 contests last year. He could be poised for a breakout in 2024-25, especially if the team around him also takes a step forward.

Carlsson posted an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson had five points over seven outings in April to salvage a positive finish to an eventful rookie year. He was strong with 29 points, 109 shots on net and a minus-11 rating, but between workload management and injuries, he ended up playing just 55 games. Carlsson figures to be the Ducks' top-line center in 2024-25, though the team around him will need to be stronger to help him build up his production.

Carlsson scored a pair of goals on five shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson struck just after a power play early in the third period and added the game-tying goal with 3:51 left in regulation. He's earned four points over three games in April after picking up just one assist through eight appearances in March. The 19-year-old rookie is up to 12 goals, 28 points, 104 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 51 outings overall while playing almost exclusively in a top-line role.

Carlsson scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
This was Carlsson's first goal and third point in 10 games since he returned from a concussion in mid-March. The rookie center is not exactly tearing things up to close out 2023-24. He's now at 10 goals, 26 points, 98 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 50 appearances. Carlsson should finish the year in a top-six role, but his scoring contributions could be limited.

Carlsson notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson snapped a seven-game point drought when he set up a Troy Terry goal in the second period. This was also Carlsson's first power-play point since Dec. 13, though he had two lengthy injury absences in that time. The 19-year-old center is up to 25 points (eight on the power play), 96 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 49 appearances in his rookie campaign.

Carlsson (knee) is expected to play Sunday versus Tampa Bay, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson fully participated in Saturday's practice after leaving Thursday's 4-0 win over Chicago early. He has produced nine goals and 24 points in 43 games this season. Carlsson will probably skate on the top line and see time on the power play in Sunday's contest.

Carlsson left Thursday's game versus the Blackhawks with a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson collided with Alex Vlasic in the second period, and the Ducks' rookie got the worst of it. He needed assistance to the locker room after what appeared to be a knee-on-knee collision. Considering Carlsson has already missed time with a knee injury previously in the season, there's plenty of reason for concern for the 19-year-old. If the injury is severe, it could end his season.

Carlsson notched an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Carlsson saw 19:05 of ice time in his return from an eight-game absence due to a concussion. The 19-year-old was right back in his usual spot on the top line and first power-play unit Sunday. Carlsson is up to 24 points (eight on the power play), 82 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 41 appearances in his rookie campaign. Fantasy managers can activate him safely, but while his role is good, his team situation is diminished following the trade deadline.
