Leo Carlsson Scouting Report

The Ducks have a development plan in place for Carlsson. He isn't going to play every game this season. He's dressed in 10 games so far, although he did miss some time early on battling a minor injury.
So far so good overall. Carlsson is a big, strong, skilled, smart, finesse / power combination forward. He has excellent puck touch. He extends plays along the boards and absorbs contact to extend zone time. He sets up on the weak side goal line area on the PP and gravitates to the crease area setting screens. He's already had a hat trick (vs Philly) and he's showing he can be trusted away from the puck defensively.
Like most young players, at the NHL level, he is struggling in the face-off dot (25%) ... but it takes time to learn how to win draws versus the best players in the world.
Through 10GP he has averaged 18:21 TOI - 14:40 ES - 3:35 PP - and scored 6G - 2A
