What It Means:

Anaheim kept Vatanen off the ice on Tuesday, making him questionable for Wednesday's game, but he's ready to play. Vatanen's availability means fellow defenseman Adam Clendening's debut with the Ducks will be delayed further.

Vatanen has 22 points (six goals, 16 assists) in 44 games played this season. His 53.5 Corsi For Percentage is just a tick off of his career best, but his -1.3 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is well below his career average of 1.0. We project Vatanen to tally another 18 points (five goals, 13 assists) over the remaining course of the season. The 40 points would be a new career high.
