Zegras, 24 (3/20/2001), was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks in 2019, ninth overall, and has gone on to play the last five seasons (2020-25) with the Ducks. The 6-foot, 185-pounds centerman has recorded 67 goals, 119 assists, and 186 points in 268 career-games. Zegras was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team in 2022 and had back-to-back 60+ point seasons in 2021-22 and 2022-23. During the 2022-23 season, Zegras led the Ducks in points (65), goals (23), game-winning-goals (3), and overtime goals.
