Leo Carlsson faces a 3-5 week recovery from surgery for a rare thigh injury, casting doubt on his participation in the Milan-Cortina Olympics, which start soon.
- On Jan 16, 2026, Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson underwent a procedure in Los Angeles and will be sidelined for three to five weeks.
- The procedure addressed a Morel-Lavallée lesion, a rare degloving injury separating skin and fat from fascia and creating a fluid-filled space.
- Carlsson is the Ducks' leading scorer with 44 points in 44 games but has been in a scoring slump, producing six points in the past 15 games.
- A team spokesperson said Carlsson is expected to miss three to five weeks, leaving his participation in next month's Milan-Cortina Olympics in doubt as Sweden opens play on Feb. 11.
- His absence is a setback for Anaheim, which has lost nine of their last 10 games after leading the Pacific Division but fell to sixth as of Friday.
