Anaheim Ducks' Trevor Zegras Suffers Another Major Injury Against Vegas Golden Knights
December 5, 2024Trevor Zegras, a forward for the Anaheim Ducks, suffered a lower-body injury during a game against the Vegas Golden Knights on December 4, 2024.
He left the ice early in the second period, unable to put weight on his injured leg, and the Ducks announced he would not return to the game.
The injury occurred when Zegras fell awkwardly after his stick became entangled with William Karlsson's stick during a faceoff.
This injury marks a potential third major injury for Zegras in just over a year, following limitations last season due to two injuries, including an ankle issue that required surgery.
He had a challenging previous season, playing only 31 games due to injuries.
Prior to the injury, Zegras had participated in all 23 games this season, scoring four goals and providing six assists.
Drafted ninth overall in the 2019 NHL Draft, Zegras has recorded a total of 59 goals in 235 games over his five seasons with the Ducks.
At 23 years old, Zegras is known for his creative puck-handling and ability to score 'Michigan' style goals.
