Strome scored a power-play goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.
Strome has started his season well since he recovered from an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old has earned three points (one goal, two assists) over his first four contests, and he's added eight shots on net and a plus-1 rating. Strome should have an easy path to third-line minutes as long as both Mikael Granlund (lower body) and Ryan Poehling (upper body) are out of the lineup.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Pockets helper in season debut
Rotowire
Strome produced an assist in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Making his season debut after recovering from an upper-body injury, Strome helped set up a Mikael Granlund tally early in the third period that proved to be Anaheim's last flicker of offense. Strome had delivered more than 40 points in six straight seasons coming into 2025-26, but the emergence of young players like Leo Carlsson has pushed the veteran center into a bottom-six role and off the top power-play unit, which will make it difficult for him to keep that streak going.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Set for season debut
Rotowire
Strome (upper body) will be in the lineup against the Red Wings on Thursday, Alyson Lozoff on TNT reports.
Strome will be making his season debut for the Ducks after missing the first 16 games due to his upper-body injury. While the veteran center has been a lock for the 40-point threshold in recent years -- he's achieved that mark in six straight campaigns -- missing nearly a quarter of the season could see him dip below 40 points for the first time since 2018-19, when he was limited to just 63 regular-season games.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Still out Tuesday
Rotowire
Strome (upper body) remains on the shelf against the Avs on Tuesday despite his activation from IR, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Strome was taken off injured reserve Sunday, but he still hasn't gotten back into the lineup for the Ducks. While the 32-year-old center has notched 41 points in three straight seasons, this extended absence to open the season will likely prevent him from hitting that mark in 2025-26. Even once given the all-clear, Strome may not be able to unseat Leo Carlsson or Mason McTavish for a spot in the top six.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Removed from IR
Rotowire
Strome (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.
Anaheim moved Radko Gudas (lower body) to the IR list in a corresponding move. After missing 14 games, Strome will be available to make his season debut against Winnipeg on Sunday. He had 10 goals, 41 points, 137 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 52 hits across 82 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Participating in practice
Rotowire
Strome (upper body) joined the team at Tuesday's morning skate, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.
Cavanagh noted that this is the first time Strome has practiced since the start of the campaign. The veteran forward has yet to play in 2025-26 and is on injured reserve due to his upper-body injury. Head coach Joel Quenneville recently said that Strome isn't too far off from a return to the lineup, but the 32-year-old will likely need a few more practices to work his way back toward game shape. Strome should slot into a middle-six role once he's given the green light to return to the lineup. The 2011 first-round selection had 10 goals and 41 points across 82 games last season.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Strome (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Strome has already been ruled out for the Ducks' first two games of the year, so it shouldn't be a shock to see him placed on injured reserve. The 32-year-old center has logged exactly 41 points in each of his previous three seasons, making that a fairly good bet as to where he might end up in 2025-26, assuming his injury doesn't linger too long.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Dealing with upper-body injury
Rotowire
Strome (upper body) will miss Anaheim's first two games, the team announced Wednesday.
That rules Strome out for the Ducks' road clashes in Seattle on Thursday and San Jose on Saturday. The 32-year-old had 10 goals, 41 points and 70 PIM in 82 regular-season outings with Anaheim in 2024-25. Due to Strome's absence, Beckett Sennecke will likely make his NHL debut against the Kraken on Thursday in a top-six spot.

Strome managed an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.
Strome helped out on a Frank Vatrano tally late in the third period to spark the Ducks' comeback. The goal drought is now at 18 games for Strome, and he's added just five assists, 23 shots on net and 30 PIM in that span.

Strome logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.
Strome is still in a 15-game goal drought, and he's been limited to four assists, 20 shots and 16 PIM in that span. The 31-year-old hasn't lost his top-six role, but he's gotten to be too risky for most fantasy formats if he can't contribute offense more consistently. The center is up to 40 points (10 goals, 30 assists), 128 shots on net, 56 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 75 outings this season.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Strome scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.
The Ducks' third line stole the headlines, but Strome was able to chip in an insurance tally at 13:22 of the second period. The center has three goals and three assists over his last five games, but his streak of having multiple shots ended at nine contests. The 31-year-old is up to 10 tallies, 36 points, 108 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating across 60 appearances. He's on pace for his best year as a Duck, though his career high of 59 points from 2019-20 with the Rangers is likely out of reach.

Rotowire
Strome posted an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.
Strome has five points and 11 shots on net over his last four games. The 31-year-old center set up Jackson LaCombe's tally in the second period. Strome is up to 35 points, 107 shots on net and 40 PIM across 59 appearances. He chips in a little bit across the board while seeing top-six minutes, so he's a viable depth option as a playmaker in fantasy for managers who are getting category coverage elsewhere.

He's on track for his best campaign in three years, though he's still on pace to fall short of the 50-point mark.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Nets goal Sunday
Rotowire
Strome scored a goal and fired three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.
Strome tallied the lone goal of the first period for Anaheim just over three minutes after Detroit initially went up 3-0. The 31-year-old center is up to eight goals, 31 points and 99 shots on net in 56 games this season. Sunday's goal was Strome's first since the calendar flipped to 2025, which ended a 19-game drought without finding the twine. During this stretch, Anaheim's top-line center has been a consistent playmaker with 11 assists. Strome's ice time and playmaking give him some value in deeper leagues, but there are likely better options available on waivers in most fantasy formats.

Strome provided an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
Strome has three helpers over his last four contests, and he's up to 20 assists for the season. The center set up Frank Vatrano's tally in the third period. Strome is now at 27 points, 81 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 48 appearances in a top-six role. He's been decent on offense and can chip in a little non-scoring production as well, but he won't stand out in any one area.

Strome logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

The 31-year-old center is up to 26 points (five on the power play) with 81 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 47 outings overall. Strome continues to log top-line minutes for the Ducks, but he's more of a depth forward for fantasy purposes.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Earns 300th career assist
Rotowire
Strome logged an assist and went minus-3 in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Blues.
Strome set up a Sam Colangelo tally in the second period. The helper was the 300th of Strome's career, but that was about the only positive for the Ducks' top-line center in the blowout loss. He's now at two goals and six helpers over his last seven contests, so it'll be important for him and his linemates to shake off this performance. Strome is at a total of 24 points, 75 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 41 appearances.

Ducks' Ryan Strome: Generates pair of helpers
Rotowire
Strome notched two assists, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.
Strome's point streak is up to five games (two goals, five assists) after Sunday's performance. The top-line center set up the Ducks' first and last goals of the game. For the season, he has seven goals, 16 helpers, 73 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 39 appearances. He's on track to surpass the matching 41-point seasons he had in his first two years with the Ducks, and it wouldn't take a lot more to put him on pace for 50 points, though his contributions outside of scoring are fairly modest.
