Carlsson

On his bobblehead night, Leo Carlsson had an assist on Helleson’s goal in the first period and passed Trevor Zegras for the third most points by a Ducks player age 20 or younger.

Over the last three years, general manager Pat Verbeek has carefully nurtured a young, talented core led by 20-year-old forward Leo Carlsson, 21-year-old defenseman Pavel Mintyukov and 22-year-old forward Mason McTavish.

Northvolt's co-founder and CEO Peter Carlsson – a former Tesla executive – resigned in November.

No team in the NHL is carrying more players 21 or younger than the Ducks, who have six in Mason McTavish, Olen Zellweger, Tyson Hinds and Pavel Mintyukov, who are all 21; 20-year-old Cutter Gauthier; and teenager Leo Carlsson, 19.

They’re already showing signs of that with Carlsson, who missed his second game Friday with an upper-body injury, sharing the team lead in goals with six.
