Ducks’ Isac Lundestrom out day-to-day with upper-body injury

The Anaheim Ducks announced Friday that center Isac Lundestrom is out day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

The Ducks also announced that forward Frank Vatrano has been designated a non-roster player due to the expected birth of his child. With the two transactions, Anaheim recalled center Jansen Harkins from their AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls.

The 24-year-old Lundestrom has one goal in three games with the Ducks in 2024-25. Last season, Lundestrom scored five goals and six assists for 11 points in 46 games with the Ducks. He missed the first 36 games of the regular season due to a torn Achilles suffered in the offseason.

In the offseason, the two sides agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

Drafted No. 23 overall by the Ducks in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Lundestrom has spent his entire career with Anaheim. Through six NHL seasons, Lundestrom has scored 31 goals and 38 assists for 69 points in 258 career regular-season games.

Before going to North America, Lundestrom played in his native Sweden, scoring 11 goals and 19 assists for 30 points in 108 games with Lulea HF in the Swedish Elite League.

Internationally, he represented Sweden at the World Junior Championships twice, scoring three goals and three assists for six points in 12 games across the two tournaments. He helped them win silver in 2018.

This season, the Ducks are 2-1-0 to start the year, most recently beating Utah Hockey Club 5-4 on Wednesday. Their next game is Friday against the Colorado Avalanche at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
