Zellweger Embraces Penalty Kill Role Amidst Offensive Shift

Olen Zellweger, a 22-year-old Ducks defenseman, is embracing a new role focused on the penalty kill, averaging 2:05 TOI on the PK over the last eight games. Despite his offensive potential (18 points in 49 games this season, 47 points in 137 career games), his power-play time has significantly decreased. He remains Anaheim's second-best defenseman at 5v5, driving offense with a 53.68% shot attempts share. Zellweger is in the final year of his entry-level contract and will be an RFA.
