Overview

  • The team confirmed the professional tryout, with Leason set to attend camp in St. Paul.
  • Michael Russo reported the addition and highlighted Leason’s right shot and penalty-killing utility for fourth-line competition.
  • Leason logged five goals and 17 points in 62 games for Anaheim in 2024–25 and was a healthy scratch late in the season.
  • He has 54 points in 220 NHL games with the Ducks and Capitals and was a 2019 second-round pick by Washington.
  • Minnesota’s forward depth, including Marcus Johansson, Nicolas Aubé-Kubel, Nico Sturm and prospects Liam Ohgren and Danila Yurov, makes an opening-night roster spot uncertain.
