The Minnesota Wild are bringing in forward Brett Leason on a professional tryout (PTO) ahead of training camp, according to The Athletic’s Michael Russo.
Brett Leason notched a goal and two assists while leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 4-2 win against the host Dallas Stars on Monday evening. Leason has two goals and four assists in four games since returning to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for three straight games and five out of six.
Every NHL player faces some degree of pressure. Even Aleksander Barkov, who has captained the Florida Panthers to back-to-back titles. However, some players certainly face more pressure than most, and of course inherently some players are facing the most pressure.
The Anaheim Ducks are bringing back two familiar names, signing forward Brett Leason to a one-year, $1.05 million deal, and defenseman Urho Vaakanainen to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.
Brett Leason scored two goals, including the first of four in the game's opening 12 1/2 minutes, and the Anaheim Ducks earned a 5-2 victory Wednesday over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights, who are on a season-long four-game losing streak.
