Anaheim Ducks Gear Up for Post-Olympic Return with Key Players Back on Ice

Leo Carlsson and Frank Vatrano made a full return to practice as the Anaheim Ducks took the ice after the Olympic break, signaling a promising boost for the team’s playoff push.

Carlsson, 21, has impressed this season with 44 points in 44 games but was sidelined in January due to a left thigh procedure.

His comeback arrives just as the Ducks prepare for the crucial final stretch in their bid to secure a postseason spot after seven years.

Vatrano, 31, battled injuries and a challenging season, collecting six points until a shoulder fracture on December 27 forced a long recovery.

Now back in full practice, both players aim to power the Ducks as they cling to a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Fans can cheer the team on as they resume play February 25 against Edmonton at Honda Center and join Anaheim Ducks Day festivities at Disney California Adventure on February 22.
