Comtois scored twice on four shots and added three hits in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Comtois' scoring has come in bunches this season -- he has five goals and an assist through 12 contests. He snapped a nine-game goal drought with the two-score effort Friday. The Quebec native has added 22 shots on net and 24 hits this season, mostly in a third-line role.

Comtois recorded an assist and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Comtois started the year hot with three goals in the first two games, but he followed that with a five-game drought. That ended when he set up Danton Heinen on the power play in the third period of Thursday's game. Comtois' four points in eight games isn't much to get excited about. The 22-year-old has added 11 shots on goal and 14 hits this year.

Comtois scored the only goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Comtois is the Ducks' offense so far -- he has all three of their goals this season. The 22-year-old winger is making a strong case to move up from his current third-line role, but perhaps what happens in Vegas will stay there. Comtois will hope for more support from his teammates as the Ducks seek their first win of the year Monday versus Minnesota.

Comtois scored twice in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Comtois' tallies came 3:36 apart in the first period to erase an early 2-0 deficit. He was the only Duck able to solve Robin Lehner in the contest. Comtois struggled with 11 points in 29 NHL games last year, but he's off to a fantastic start to 2020-21. While he had only one hit Thursday, he's usually a fairly physical player.

Anaheim assigned Comtois to AHL San Diego on Thursday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nick Ritchie (knee), Derek Grant (shoulder) and Jakob Silfverberg (upper body) are all on the verge of returning to the lineup, so the Ducks are no longer in need of Comtois' services on the wing. The 20-year-old rookie has been solid during his time with Anaheim this season, notching five goals and 11 points in 29 appearances, so he'll likely get another shot with the big club later this year.

Comtois scored the Ducks' lone goal in a 4-1 loss to the Blues on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Comtois is up to five goals and six assists through 29 games this season. The 21-year-old has added 32 shots, 61 hits and 24 PIM. He's more of a physical player early in his career, but the second-round pick from 2017 should eventually become a solid power forward.

Comtois posted a goal and three hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Comtois tipped in a shot from Jacob Larsson to cap a run of three goals in 1:37 for the Ducks. The 20-year-old Canadian has scored twice in his last three games. Comtois has eight points, 47 hits and 25 shots on goal in 22 contests this year.

Comtois registered a power-play assist and two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Comtois entered Thursday with a six-game pointless stretch dating back to his previous NHL stint in early November. The helper gave him six points to go with 19 shots on goal and 37 hits through 16 appearances. The fact that he was in a position to pick up a power-play point shows that Comtois has the faith of coach Dallas Eakins. The 20-year-old winger will need to show a bit more consistency in his game to avoid another return to AHL San Diego.

The Ducks recalled Comtois from AHL San Diego on Tuesday, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Comtois played well in the minors after being demoted Nov. 12, racking up six helpers while posting a plus-1 rating in eight games. The 20-year-old winger could make his return to the Ducks' lineup as soon as Friday against Washington.

The Ducks reassigned Comtois to AHL San Diego on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This is quite a surprising move, especially considering Comtois has collected five points in 13 NHL games this season. He's also spent time on the team's top line, and the power play. Regardless of the reasoning, Comtois' demotion should open the door for Nicolas Deslauries or Devin Shore to enter the lineup as early as Tuesday's game against Detroit.
