Coach Cronin says the forward, who missed about six weeks with a torn meniscus, has picked up the pace and intensity as the team hosts Nashville on Saturday

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Trevor Zegras was back in action for the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night, taking shifts for the first time in nearly seven weeks. The omnipresent question that follows the playmaking forward is how much longer he will play for them.

Trevor Zegras returned from a torn meniscus in his right knee in a 5-2 loss against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday and had four shots in 15:48 of ice time. The Ducks forward was injured late in the first period of a 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Dec. 4.

Trevor Zegras hasn't played a game for the Anaheim Ducks since December 4, but that should be changing on Tuesday night.

Sam Reinhart snapped a three-game goal drought and the Florida Panthers beat the Ducks 5-2 on Tuesday night at Honda Center. Trevor Zegras returned to the lineup after missing 22 games because of surgery to repair torn meniscus in his right knee.

Zegras returns to the lineup after missing 22 games with a knee injury, but Florida beats the Ducks for the second time in four days, 5-3, handing them their seventh loss in eight games.

The Anaheim Ducks are set to receive a significant boost with the anticipated return of forward Trevor Zegras from injury. Zegras has been sidelined since December 4 due to a torn meniscus in his right knee.
