Lundestrom sustained an Achilles injury while training in Sweden and has undergone surgery, according to Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune.
Lundestrom is projected to be out for around six months, which would translate to him missing the entirety of the Ducks' schedule before the All-Star Game. He had four goals and 14 points in 61 contests with Anaheim last season. Once Lundestrom is ready to rock, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six role.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Stuck in slump
Rotowire
Lundestrom is stuck in a 16-game point drought.
In that span, Lundestrom has gone minus-8 with 12 shots on goal, 10 blocked shots and seven hits. Playing in a bottom-six role for a low-scoring team means he'll have his droughts, but this is the worst one he's experienced. The 23-year-old is at 14 points, a minus-12 rating and 55 shots on net through 56 outings overall.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: On modest three-game point streak
Rotowire
Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Lundestrom is up to four goals, 14 points, 43 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 40 outings this season. His offense isn't that significant, but he's a fixture on the Ducks' third line and could have some appeal in deep fantasy formats.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Lends helper Saturday
Rotowire
Lundestrom posted an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Lundestrom has enjoyed a solid February, with two goals and three assists through 10 contests. The third-line center is up to 13 points, 41 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 39 contests overall. Even if the Ducks are sellers at the trade deadline, Lundestrom's role is unlikely to change barring his inclusion in a deal -- some combination of Trevor Zegras, Mason McTavish and Ryan Strome will continue to center the top two lines.

Rotowire
Lundestrom posted an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Lundestrom had gone five games without a point before setting up Frank Vatrano for a goal in overtime. The 23-year-old Lundestrom continues to play more of a defensive role, though he's also seen more than 15 minutes of ice time in five of seven contests since he returned from a broken finger. The Swede is at nine points, 35 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 31 appearances.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Grabs two helpers in return
Rotowire
Lundestrom recorded two assists in Thursday's 5-2 win over Columbus.
Lundestrom made an impact in his first game since Dec. 1, setting up Adam Henrique's goal in the second period before adding a second assist on a Max Jones tally in the third. Lundestrom centered Henrique and Troy Terry on Anaheim's top line with Mason McTavish (lower body) sidelined. The 23-year-old Lundestrom could have some value in that role if McTavish is forced to miss extended time. Lundestrom now has eight points (one goal, seven assists) in 25 games this season.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Returning home for evaluation
Rotowire
Lundestrom (upper body) is heading back to Anaheim to be evaluated, per Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register.
Lundestrom left Thursday's game against Dallas because of the injury. Given that he's heading back home, it seems reasonable to believe that the 23-year-old forward won't be an option for Saturday's game in Minnesota or Sunday's contest in Winnipeg. Pavol Regenda might draw into the lineup as a result. Lundestrom has a goal and six points in 24 games this season.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Suffers upper-body injury
Rotowire

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Lends helper in loss
Rotowire
Lundestrom notched an assist in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blues.
Lundestrom snapped a five-game point drought when he set up a Cam Fowler goal in the first period. The Ducks haven't scored more than three goals in a game since Nov. 5, so offense has been limited for all of the team's depth players. Lundestrom remains a more defensive-minded forward, though he's chipped in with six points, 24 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 19 contests.
Lundestrom scored a shorthanded goal on a penalty shot in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers.
Lundestrom got a shorthanded chance in the third period, but Gustav Forsling slashed him. Lundestrom converted on the penalty shot for his first goal of the season, but the Ducks couldn't find an equalizer in the last 1:14 of the contest. The third-liner is up to five points, 17 shots on net, a minus-4 rating and eight blocked shots through 13 appearances. He's more of a defensive forward -- that's a skill set that doesn't often lead to usefulness in fantasy.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Registers assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Lundestrom posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Sharks.
Lundestrom has recorded assists in consecutive contests for the second time this year. The 22-year-old center set up a Frank Vatrano goal in the first period. For the season, Lundestrom has four helpers, 13 shots on net and a minus-2 rating in 10 outings. He's taken just one shot over his last five games combined, so he'll need to up that mark to be more effective on offense.

Ducks' Isac Lundestrom: Supplies helper in overtime win
Rotowire
Lundestrom logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Lundestrom ended a four-game point drought with the helper. The 22-year-old had also gone three games without a shot on goal, which isn't doing any favors for his already limited offense. The Swede has three helpers, 13 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through nine contests overall.
