Zellweger scored a goal and blocked five shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Zellweger has found his game late in the season, earning two goals and three assists over his last six contests. The 21-year-old has played in every game since the trade deadline, and he looks to have more job security than Pavel Mintyukov, who was scratched Thursday. Zellweger is up to seven goals, 19 points, 116 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 34 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 57 appearances.

Zellweger put up an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Zellweger had to adjust to a new defense partner, as he played alongside Oliver Kylington in the absence of Jacob Trouba (lower body). The 21-year-old Zellweger is warming up with four points and 13 shots on net over his last four contests, and he's gone plus-5 across five games since March 20. The defenseman has 18 points, 113 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 55 outings this season.

Zellweger scored a goal on five shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Zellweger's first multi-point effort since Dec. 22. The defenseman has been in the lineup for 11 straight contests since the trade deadline, but he's just starting to get his offense on track with three points over his last three games. For the season, the 21-year-old has 17 points, 112 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 33 hits and a plus-1 rating over 54 appearances.

Zellweger notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Zellweger was a healthy scratch for five straight games prior to the trade deadline. The Ducks then dealt away Brian Dumoulin and brought in Oliver Kylington, allowing Zellweger to move into a full-time role to close out 2024-25. It hasn't been a smooth move so far -- his helper Sunday ended an eight-game skid for Zellweger, who has seen top-four minutes in that span. He's now at 15 points, 104 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances. The 21-year-old still has plenty to learn, but he some of the highest upside on a fairly young blue line, so fantasy managers in dynasty formats should stay patient.

Zellweger tallied a goal, took four shots on net and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Zellweger found the back of the net with just over two minutes to play in regulation, which brought the Ducks within striking range before Cutter Gauthier scored the game-tying goal. The 21-year-old Zellweger is up to five goals, 14 points, 88 shots on goal and 46 blocks in 43 games this season. While he has been competing for ice time on Anaheim's blue line over the past few months, Sunday's all-around performance helps Zellweger's case to maintain his role. The Ducks have stronger options in fantasy for defensemen, but Zellweger has a bright future if he can replicate Sunday's overall output more frequently.

Zellweger logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Zellweger ended a nine-game point drought, dating back to Dec. 23, when he assisted on Trevor Zegras' tally in the third period. In that span, Zellweger was scratched 11 times as he continues to compete with Drew Helleson and Pavel Mintyukov for the last two spots on the Ducks' blue line. Zellweger has 13 points, 82 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-2 rating over 40 appearances. He sees power-play time when he's in the lineup, but the inconsistent playing time will make it tough to roster the 21-year-old defenseman in fantasy.

Zellweger was scratched for the seventh time in 13 games when he sat out Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Zellweger's playing time has been spotty in January. Jackson LaCombe has become an everyday player, leaving Zellweger to compete with Pavel Mintyukov and Drew Helleson for third-pairing minutes. It's a battle Zellweger's been losing lately, and it may lead to him getting reassigned to AHL San Diego eventually. When he's been in action, the 21-year-old has 12 points, 80 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 38 appearances, but given his age, a little extra development time with the Gulls wouldn't hurt.

Zellweger delivered two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Zellweger snapped a 10-game point drought Sunday by setting up two of the team's four goals. The 21-year-old is already posting better numbers compared to the ones he delivered as a rookie, as he's up to 12 points (four goals, eight helpers) in 30 games. He should continue to find opportunities to produce from the Ducks' blue line, especially if he remains a member of one of the power play units.

Zellweger produced an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Zellweger remains hot on offense -- he has six points and 10 shots on net over his last five outings. The defenseman's latest contribution was a primary assist on Frank Vatrano's second-period tally. Zellweger has already secured a career high with 10 points through 19 contests, and he's added 44 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 13 hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating while seeing top-four minutes and power-play time this season.
