Comtois cleared COVID-19 protocols and will suit up Sunday against the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Comtois will suit up for the first time since Dec. 17. He missed most of November and December with a hand injury and has just one point through 14 games this season.

Comtois was included in the league's COVID-19 protocols Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Ducks included Comtois and Sam Steel, as well as a staff member, in the COVID-19 list. Comtois hasn't been very effective, though, with just one assist across 14 appearances this season.

Comtois (hand) will play Friday against visiting Arizona, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Comtois has been out since Nov. 14, a span of 16 games. He'll immediately jump into a top-line role alongside Ryan Getzlaf and burgeoning star Troy Terry while trying to build on his lone point in 13 games this season.

Comtois (hand) is "super close to returning."

EDGE Analysis

Comtois has been sidelined since mid-November after undergoing hand surgery, but it looks like he should be ready to return sooner rather than later. Once activated off injured reserve, look for Comtois, who's picked up one assist through 13 games this season, to slot into a bottom-six role for the Ducks.

Comtois had surgery on his hand Thursday and is expected to miss the next six weeks, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Comtois has missed the last three games and will now likely be out until early 2022. The 22-year-old had just one assist with a minus-3 rating through 13 games prior to suffering an injury.

Comtois (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Comtois will miss a second contest with the injury. No timeline has been provided for his return, which makes him questionable at best for Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes. Per Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register, Comtois has been placed on injured reserve.

Comtois (upper body) didn't play Sunday versus the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Comtois was just beginning to show more life on offense, which makes the timing of this injury discouraging. The Ducks reported the winger is day-to-day, putting him as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Capitals.

Comtois logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Comtois earned the secondary helper on Isac Lundestrom's third-period tally. The assist was Comtois' first point in 12 appearances this year. The Quebec native has added 17 shots on net, 15 hits, a minus-6 rating and nine PIM. While it's good to see him get on the scoresheet, fantasy managers will need to see a lot more from Comtois before considering him for their virtual rosters.

Comtois has failed to record a point in 10 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Comtois' struggles on offense have seen him twice exit the lineup as a healthy scratch. The winger had a breakout campaign with 33 points in 55 contests last year, but he'll have a tough time matching that production if he doesn't spark his offense soon. Comtois has provided 15 shots on goal, 13 hits and nine PIM while moving throughout the lineup.

Comtois signed a two-year deal with Anaheim on Monday, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Comtois set personal bests in goals (16), assists (17) and games played (55) this season. Of the winger's 33 points, only four were registered with the man advantage despite averaging 1:44 of power-play ice time. The 22-year-old Quebec native should continue to see opportunities in the top six and could offer sneak fantasy value.
