Ducks' Rookie Leo Carlsson Sidelined for 4-6 Weeks with MCL Sprain

Trevor Zegras to Assume No. 1 Center Role in Carlsson's Absence

Anaheim Ducks rookie forward Leo Carlsson will be sidelined for four-to-six weeks due to an MCL sprain in his right knee.
Carlsson, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, was injured during Anaheim's home loss to Calgary.
Despite fears of a more severe injury, Carlsson will not need surgery and is expected to return after the All-Star break.
Trevor Zegras, who recently returned from a 20-game absence due to an unspecified lower-body injury, will likely assume Carlsson's No. 1 center role.
Anaheim Ducks also have defenseman Radko Gudas out of the lineup due to a lower-body injury.
