Mintyukov notched an assist, two hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov has been solid lately with four points, 10 shots on net, eight hits and 15 blocked shots over his last seven contests. The 21-year-old defenseman has held down a steady top-four role this season, and he's been on the second power-play unit more recently. Mintyukov has six points, 26 shots on goal, 35 blocked shots, 16 hits and a minus-4 rating over 20 appearances.

Mintyukov scored a goal on three shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov has broken free of his early slump, recording three points over his last four games. The 20-year-old defenseman is up to three goals -- one shy of his total from last season -- and five points through 17 outings. He's added 23 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-4 rating. The Ducks' lack of offense is a concern, but Mintyukov can be a multi-category contributor (points, blocks, shots on net) in deeper formats if he can sustain his recent performance.

Mintyukov recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov has two helpers over his last three contests. He's turning things around after a 10-game slump, though it helps that he's in a larger role while Cam Fowler (upper body) is sidelined. Mintyukov has four points, 20 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 16 outings.

Mintyukov recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

This was Mintyukov's first point since his two-goal game Oct. 16 versus Utah. The 20-year-old defenseman has been a regular in the Ducks' lineup, but the team's scoring struggles have hampered his scoring. In addition to three points, Mintyukov has 19 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, eight hits and a minus-4 rating over 14 appearances in a top-four role. He has some upside after putting up 28 points as a rookie last season, but with his physicality down, his overall profile isn't all that encouraging.

Mintyukov (illness) participated in Monday's practice, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov should be available to play Tuesday against San Jose after missing Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. He has compiled two goals, three shots on net, six blocked shots and three hits in four appearances this campaign. With Mintyukov likely to play, Olen Zellweger might be a healthy scratch against the Sharks.

Mintyukov will miss Sunday's contest versus Los Angeles due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov will be replaced in the lineup by Jackson LaCombe. Expect an update to come on Mintyukov's status ahead of Tuesday's game against San Jose.

Mintyukov scored two goals and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov had the Ducks' last two goals in regulation. Those tallies were his first points and also accounted for his first two shots of the year. He's added three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while playing big minutes despite being listed in a bottom-four role. Mintyukov should continue to be a factor on the power play, which gives him upside on a Ducks team that has won two of its first three games.

Mintyukov (lower body) will draw into the lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against Utah, per Eric Stephens of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov had four goals, 28 points, 85 hits and 65 blocks in 63 contests with the Ducks in 2023-24. He's projected to open the upcoming campaign in a top-four role, but he might not see time with the man advantage.

Mintyukov (lower body) won't play Tuesday in a preseason game versus the Sharks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov is a virtual lock for the Opening Night roster, as long as he's healthy. That means he'll likely be brought along cautiously in the preseason. His next chance to play is Thursday's home preseason game versus the Sharks.

Mintyukov is dealing with a lower-body injury and is day-to-day to begin training camp.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov ended 2023-24 with a bone bruise, though it's unclear if the injury keeping him out early in camp is the same one. The 20-year-old defenseman produced 28 points in 63 games as a rookie last year and should be in contention for a top-four role this season. It's unclear at this time if he'll be ready to go when the Ducks begin their preseason slate Tuesday against the Sharks.
