Rotowire
Colangelo scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Colangelo has scored in consecutive games as he heats up again toward the end of the campaign. The 23-year-old is at 10 goals, 12 points, 41 shots on net, 66 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 31 appearances. He may be reassigned to AHL San Diego after Wednesday's game versus the Jets, but the Gulls aren't in the AHL playoffs, so he won't be getting much more playing time this season.

Ducks' Sam Colangelo: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Colangelo will not be available for Sunday's home matchup versus Carolina, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Colangelo will be sidelined for a fifth consecutive contest, and it's unclear if he's close to returning. The 23-year-old was held off the scoresheet in back-to-back games prior to getting hurt, but he's been productive with five goals and six points across seven appearances in March. Anaheim's next game is Wednesday against Boston.

Rotowire
Colangelo (upper body) didn't travel with the Ducks for their two-game road trip, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.
Colangelo has already missed a pair of games due to his upper-body issue and will now be sidelined for two more. Prior to getting hurt, the 23-year-old winger was rolling offensively with five goals and one assist in his last six outings. With Colangelo and Ross Johnston both on the shelf, Nikita Nesterenko should get an extended look at the NHL level.

Ducks' Sam Colangelo: Two more goals in win
Rotowire
Colangelo scored twice on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
Colangelo is up to five goals and an assist during his four-game point streak. His first goal was another from close range late in the first period to open the scoring, and he added an empty-netter in the third after an early and aggressive pull of goalie Marcus Hogberg by head coach Patrick Roy when the Islanders were down 3-0. Fantasy managers should at least be taking notice of Colangelo's hot stretch. He has a willingness to go to the tough areas at the net front, and that's leading to him cashing in regularly on a line with Mason McTavish and Cutter Gauthier.

He's at four points, 21 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-4 rating across 16 NHL appearances in 2024-25.

Ducks' Sam Colangelo: Earns two points in win
Rotowire
Colangelo scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.
The chemistry was nearly instant between Colangelo, Mason McTavish and Cutter Gauthier. The trio combined for three goals and four assists in a 4:59 span in the first period, with Colangelo ultimately getting the game-winning tally. The 23-year-old doesn't have the hype of some of his teammates, but he was still a second-round pick in 2020. This was Colangelo's first multi-point effort, giving him three points, 20 shots on net, 32 hits and a minus-5 rating through 15 appearances this season, mainly in a bottom-six role.

Ducks' Sam Colangelo: Sent to minors
Rotowire
Colangelo was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Friday.
Colangelo had 24 goals and 43 points in 38 appearances with Western Michigan University in 2023-24. He then finished the regular season by scoring a goal in three games with Anaheim as well as a goal and four points across four outings with San Diego. Although Colangelo is set to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get another shot with the Ducks at some point during the season.
