Carlsson Closer Look

Ducks forward Leo Carlsson, now in his second season with Anaheim, continues to adjust to life in the NHL both on and off the ice.

Just a month past his 20th birthday, Carlsson owns nine goals and 16 points this season. He's now closing in on his 100th career NHL games and this season has skated in 43 of Anaheim's first 49 contests.

Carlsson, selected second overall in the 2023 NHL Draft, has recently centered a line with Trevor Zegras and Alex Killorn.

The Karlstad, Sweden native will be Anaheim's lone representative at the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off, and the youngest player on any of the four rosters. Carlsson helped Team Sweden to gold at the 2022 U-18 World Championship.
