Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Solid showing in Sunday's exhibition game
Carlsson scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 6-2 preseason win over the Sharks.
Carlsson is firmly cemented as Anaheim's No. 1 center, and he will have a lot to live up to after signing a five-year, $90 million contract with the team in July. The 21-year-old's offensive output has increased in each of his first three seasons in the NHL, and that trend should continue in 2026-27 if he plays in most, or all, of the team's regular-season games.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Signs massive five-year deal
Carlsson secured a five-year, $90 million contract with Anaheim on Thursday.
Carlsson will become the NHL's highest-paid player with his $18 million AAV, surpassing the $17 million AAV deal for Minnesota's Kirill Kaprizov. The 21-year-old Carlsson will no doubt be expected to continue stepping up his production after recording 29 goals and 38 assists in 70 regular-season games last year. It's possible, with Carlsson capable of reaching the 40-goal threshold if he can play a full 84-game schedule.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Accepts massive offer sheet
Carlsson accepted a five-year, $90 million offer sheet with the Flyers on Friday. Anaheim has seven days to either match the contract or allow him to join Philadelphia.
The Ducks would receive four first-round picks from Philadelphia if Anaheim declines to match the offer sheet, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com. The 21-year-old Carlsson logged 70 regular-season outings in 2025-26 and set career highs with 29 goals and 67 points. He's got plenty of upside, so it's not hard to see why Philadelphia is interested in him. Still, this would give him the highest cap hit of any player in 2026-27, ahead of even Kirill Kaprizov ($17 million) and Leon Draisaitl ($14 million). When coupled with the draft picks the Flyers would have to surrender, Philadelphia is taking a big risk. However, the Flyers' move has also put the Ducks in the awkward position of either giving Carlsson significantly more than they likely wanted or watching a young star leave just as Anaheim had seemingly transitioned from a rebuilding squad into a genuine contender.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Nets game-winner
Carlsson scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.
Carlsson's tally in the third period stood as the game-winner. The center has had no trouble adjusting to the playoffs so far, earning four goals, five assists, 36 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over eight postseason outings. The 21-year-old continues to see significant usage on the top line and first power-play unit, so he's in a good position to keep generating offense.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Collects three points in Game 6 win
Carlsson scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two assists, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Oilers in Game 6.
Carlsson set up linemates Chris Kreider and Troy Terry over the first two periods before finishing off this win with the empty-netter. In his first career playoff series, Carlsson racked up three goals, five assists, 28 shots on net and a plus-4 rating across six contests. He'll continue to draw first-line minutes and power-play time in the second round, where the Ducks will face either the Golden Knights or the Mammoth.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Adds two more points
Carlsson scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 7-4 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
Carlsson earned his second multi-point effort over three games this postseason. He's added 18 shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 21-year-old center is logging top-line minutes and a power-play role, so he's in a good position to continue chipping in offense, especially since this first-round series has been lacking in defense on both sides.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: One of each in loss
Carlsson scored a goal on 10 shots and added an assist in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.
Carlsson looked amped for his playoff debut, and he made it count. He was involved in the Ducks' first two goals to wipe out an early 2-0 deficit, but the Oilers fired back to take the game in the third period. Carlsson had 29 goals, 67 points, 193 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 70 regular-season outings. The battle-hardened Oilers are a tough draw for the young Ducks in the first round, but Carlsson looks set to make an impact, win or lose.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Forces overtime Sunday
Carlsson scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Carlsson's tally at 6:56 of the third period tied the game at 3-3 and forced overtime. The 21-year-old center has five goals over his last seven outings, but he hasn't chipped in an assist in that span. For the season, he's impressed with 29 goals, 66 points, 180 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 68 appearances. His offense won't keep growing by big chunks year over year, but Carlsson is still young enough to find another level or two before his prime years.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Opens scoring in win
Carlsson scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.
Carlsson has four goals over his last six games, adding 22 shots on net in that span. The 21-year-old center is up to 28 goals, 65 points, 177 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 67 outings in a top-line role. Carlsson has taken a big step forward to be a near point-per-game player in his third NHL campaign, and that bodes well for his future as he's still years away from being in his prime.
