ANAHEIM, Calif. — Trevor Zegras was back in action for the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night, taking shifts for the first time in nearly seven weeks. The omnipresent question that follows the playmaking forward is how much longer he will play for them.

Zegras returns to the lineup after missing 22 games with a knee injury, but Florida beats the Ducks for the second time in four days, 5-3, handing them their seventh loss in eight games.

Zegras scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators. Zegras has three points over three games since he returned from a torn meniscus. The 23-year-old has added a bit of flair to the Ducks' lineup,

Zegras underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus on Dec. 12, but he appears to be progressing in his recovery and closing in on a return to game action. A specific timetable for his return isn't yet known, but his participation in Monday's practice session was encouraging.

The Anaheim Ducks entered the 2024-25 NHL season with cautious optimism. With a blend of promising young talent and veteran leadership, there was hope this season would mark a step forward in their rebuild.

The Ducks are currently dead-last in the league in goals scored (123) and goals-per-game (2.47). They sit middle of the pack in goals against, but most of that has been due to stellar goaltending from John Gibson and Lukáš Dostál, who are both top-5 in GSAx per 60. Dostál is third in GSAx (17.0) while Gibson is sixth (14.0).

Philipp Grubauer returns to net for the Kraken, but defensive breakdowns prove costly for the much-maligned goalie in a 6-4 loss to the Ducks on Tuesday night.

The Ducks won 5-2 against the Nashville Predators on Saturday while the Kraken lost 4-2 to the Edmonton Oilers on Monday. The Kraken will play a unique second game of a back-to-back (SEGABABA), as Monday's game was in Edmonton.

McTavish is capable of more, but they’ve got to put him in the best position to have success. The Ducks do mete out ice time among their forwards more evenly than other teams and while McTavish is averaging 16:24, that ranks seventh.
