The talented center is up to 11 points, 28 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 19 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Carlsson posted two assists, including one on the power play, in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Carlsson picked up his second multi-point effort in this contest. He has three points over his last three contests, bouncing back from a four-game slump before that. The 19-year-old center is up to nine points (three on the power play), 26 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 16 outings in a top-six role.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Lights lamp in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Carlsson ended a four-game slump with his tally midway through the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. The 19-year-old center has had to deal with frequent changes in linemates as head coach Greg Cronin looks for combinations to spark an offense that has scored three or more goals just five times in 14 contests. Carlsson is at five tallies, two assists, 26 shots on net and a minus-3 rating this season, and he should continue to be a fixture in the top six and on the power play.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Leads offense with three points
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
Carlsson is up to four points over two preseason appearances after playing a leading role Wednesday. The 19-year-old center's rookie campaign was abbreviated by a workload management plan and multiple injuries, which limited him to 29 points in 55 contests last year. He could be poised for a breakout in 2024-25, especially if the team around him also takes a step forward.
