Carlsson (thigh) underwent successful surgery on Friday and will miss approximately 3-5 weeks.

Carlsson's injury was first reported after he left practice on Monday and was originally deemed to be questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Stars. This latest development puts his status for the 2026 Winter Olympics in doubt, though no official determination has been made on his availability for Team Sweden at this time. The 21-year-old Carlsson is having an excellent season for Anaheim, with 44 points (18G / 26A) in 44 games, but has drifted off in recent weeks as the Ducks have struggled, being held off the scoresheet in nine of the team's last 11 games.
