Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Ends dry spell with helper
Rotowire
Zellweger notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Zellweger was a healthy scratch for five straight games prior to the trade deadline. The Ducks then dealt away Brian Dumoulin and brought in Oliver Kylington, allowing Zellweger to move into a full-time role to close out 2024-25. It hasn't been a smooth move so far -- his helper Sunday ended an eight-game skid for Zellweger, who has seen top-four minutes in that span. He's now at 15 points, 104 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances. The 21-year-old still has plenty to learn, but he some of the highest upside on a fairly young blue line, so fantasy managers in dynasty formats should stay patient.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Scores late goal
Rotowire
Zellweger tallied a goal, took four shots on net and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss against Detroit.
Zellweger found the back of the net with just over two minutes to play in regulation, which brought the Ducks within striking range before Cutter Gauthier scored the game-tying goal. The 21-year-old Zellweger is up to five goals, 14 points, 88 shots on goal and 46 blocks in 43 games this season. While he has been competing for ice time on Anaheim's blue line over the past few months, Sunday's all-around performance helps Zellweger's case to maintain his role. The Ducks have stronger options in fantasy for defensemen, but Zellweger has a bright future if he can replicate Sunday's overall output more frequently.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Earns assist in win
Rotowire
Zellweger logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
Zellweger ended a nine-game point drought, dating back to Dec. 23, when he assisted on Trevor Zegras' tally in the third period. In that span, Zellweger was scratched 11 times as he continues to compete with Drew Helleson and Pavel Mintyukov for the last two spots on the Ducks' blue line. Zellweger has 13 points, 82 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-2 rating over 40 appearances. He sees power-play time when he's in the lineup, but the inconsistent playing time will make it tough to roster the 21-year-old defenseman in fantasy.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Spotty playing time in January
Rotowire
Zellweger was scratched for the seventh time in 13 games when he sat out Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Zellweger's playing time has been spotty in January. Jackson LaCombe has become an everyday player, leaving Zellweger to compete with Pavel Mintyukov and Drew Helleson for third-pairing minutes. It's a battle Zellweger's been losing lately, and it may lead to him getting reassigned to AHL San Diego eventually. When he's been in action, the 21-year-old has 12 points, 80 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 38 appearances, but given his age, a little extra development time with the Gulls wouldn't hurt.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Two assists Sunday
Rotowire
Zellweger delivered two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.
Zellweger snapped a 10-game point drought Sunday by setting up two of the team's four goals. The 21-year-old is already posting better numbers compared to the ones he delivered as a rookie, as he's up to 12 points (four goals, eight helpers) in 30 games. He should continue to find opportunities to produce from the Ducks' blue line, especially if he remains a member of one of the power play units.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Scores opening goal Monday
Rotowire

Zellweger didn't waste any time to make his presence felt and found the back of the net just 56 seconds into the game to give the Ducks a lead they'd never relinquish. Zellweger has eight points this season, tallying four points and four assists, but he's accounted for 50 percent of that total haul over his last two appearances. The 21-year-old defenseman is certainly trending in the right direction and has shown signs of progressing after posting nine points in 26 games as a rookie in 2023-24.

Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Erupts with three points in win
Rotowire
Zellweger scored a goal on two shots, dished two power-play assists, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.
Zellweger opened the scoring at 1:12 of the first period and then set up power-play tallies by Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry late in the game. This was easily the best game of the year for Zellweger, who is likely to see a larger role as long as Cam Fowler (upper body) is out. Through 15 contests, Zellweger has three goals, four assists, 36 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating, and four of his seven points have come on the power play. He's got a fair amount of upside, so he's worth a look in most fantasy formats.

He's up to two goals, two assists, 28 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 11 appearances. The 21-year-old has earned two of his points on the power play, and he remains a decent option for fantasy managers in deeper formats who need some scoring potential on the blue line.

Rotowire
Zellweger scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
The 21-year-old spoiled Jonathan Quick's shutout bid midway through the third period, but it was the only offensive highlight for the Ducks.

Rotowire
Zellweger recorded an assist and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Zellweger picked up his first point over three appearances this season when he set up Troy Terry's equalizer late in the third period. The 21-year-old Zellweger has added eight shots on net and a plus-2 rating. He's not guaranteed a spot in the lineup, especially once Jackson LaCombe (illness) returns, but fantasy managers in dynasty formats should still be excited for Zellweger's potential in his first full campaign.
Zellweger posted an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.
Zellweger continues to look increasingly comfortable with two goals and four assists over his last seven contests.
