Leo Carlsson Won't Play In Every Game During First Half Of Season
1 year agoAnaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson was a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup against the Bruins, and this won't be his last visit to the press box during his rookie campaign. Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek wants to ease Carlsson into action, and the team doesn't plan to use him in every game during the first half of the season. Carlsson played his first two career games last week, scoring in his debut against Dallas on Tuesday. At 18 years and 297 days old, he became the second-youngest player to make a scoring debut with the Ducks. Adam Henrique replaced Carlsson on the first line Sunday and also played there when the young Swede missed the first couple of games of the season with an injury.
