2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mintyukov showed offensive promise when he recorded 28 points in 63 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2023-24, but he dipped to five goals and 19 points across 68 outings last campaign. That’s particularly unfortunate because he doesn’t stand out in any other major fantasy category -- he had 20 PIM, 69 shots, 81 hits and 92 blocks -- so if he’s not producing offensively, then there isn’t much here for managers unless the league is deep. However, he is just 21 years old (22 on Nov. 25), and he still has plenty of upside. Don’t count on him to rebound with a 30-plus point season, especially with Jackson LaCombe likely to start 2025-26 as the blueliner on the top power-play unit, but Mintyukov is worth monitoring.

Mintyukov (lower body) won't play versus the Flames on Saturday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
ANALYSIS
Mintyukov is set to miss his third straight game. The defenseman's ongoing absence has kept Ian Moore and Drew Helleson in the lineup, and Tyson Hinds will get his NHL debut with the Ducks option for seven defensemen despite missing blueliners due to injuries. Mintyukov's next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Predators.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mintyukov burst onto the scene with 10 points in his first 14 NHL contests, but as so often happens in Anaheim, the early success didn't last. The defenseman was never outright bad during the remainder of the campaign, but he finished at 28 points in 63 contests and missed 19 outings between two absences for a separated shoulder and a bone bruise in his lower body that ended his season. The good news is that Mintyukov should still be a power-play factor for the Ducks in 2024-25, though he may have to compete with Olen Zellweger for second-unit duties. Mintyukov's offense may not develop smoothly, but he still offers plenty of physicality and should have a chance at top-four minutes, so he's a decent lottery ticket pick for fantasy managers late in drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wants out of Anaheim?
DAnaheim Ducks
November 20, 2025
Mintyukov, who has been a healthy scratch in both games this week, wants to be traded if he is not going to play, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Mintyukov was seeing third-pairing time this season before the benching. Mintyukov was selected 10th overall in 2022, and there should be plenty of teams interested in the 21-year-old blueliner. Mintyukov has three assists, 10 hits and 17 blocked shots across 18 appearances this season.
