EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov has a point in three of the last four games. The defenseman's goal Sunday forced overtime, but the Ducks couldn't snag the win. He hadn't scored over the last 17 contests, but he had seven helpers in that span. The rookie blueliner is up to four goals, 28 points, 88 shots on net, 78 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 60 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov has two helpers over his last three contests. The 20-year-old rookie continues to stick in the Ducks' lineup, but his role -- particularly on the power play -- has fluctuated in recent weeks. He's at 27 points, 83 shots on net, 77 hits, 59 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 59 appearances. Mintyukov should be considered a bottom-four option on a low-scoring team for the remainder of this season, giving him limited fantasy appeal.

Mintyukov added an assist, along with three shots and three hits, in Sunday's 4-2 loss to St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

With three goals and 26 points on the season, Mintyukov is having a solid rookie campaign. Though, the defender has not been adding offensive production consistently over the last few weeks. In his last 12 tilts, he has no goals and three assists. He's getting ice time and the production hasn't completely dried up, but Anaheim isn't scoring in droves, and it makes it hard to depend on production from Mintyukov.
