Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson has started the season with impressive form, hinting at the elite talent he possesses. The Ducks currently hold an 11-3-1 record (23 points) and lead the Pacific Division for the first time since 2021.
The team has won seven consecutive games, establishing itself as one of the league's top contenders. Offense is coming from every line, with disciplined play and strong goaltending from Lukas Dostal, who has consistently made key saves.
Both have been reliable offensive forces nightly, with Carlsson emerging as the Ducks' primary center and a rising star in the NHL.
In 15 games, Carlsson has tallied 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists), making him the fifth-fastest player in NHL history to reach 25 points at age 20 or younger. He is currently on a 10-game point streak, accumulating 19 points during this stretch, and has scored in 13 out of 15 games.
“He extends his point streak to NINE GAMES!”
Carlsson was also named one of the three stars of the week for November 3–9 after recording nine points in that time.
The Ducks drafted Carlsson second overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, and his early season success suggests he is becoming the player they envisioned.
Leo Carlsson’s explosive start indicates he is just beginning to reach his high potential as the Anaheim Ducks’ standout center and emerging NHL star.
