Date News Advice
April 17, 2025 Nesterenko was sent to AHL San Diego on Thursday. - Anaheim's campaign is over, so Nesterenko will close the books on the NHL season with four goals and six points across 20 outings with the Ducks. He can still help out San Diego in the short term -- Nesterenko has 13 goals and 34 points in 48 appearances with the minor-league club in 2024-25 -- but the Gulls won't be making the playoffs either. None
April 13, 2025 Nesterenko notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. - Nesterenko ended his seven-game point drought with an assist on a Mason McTavish tally in the first period. The 23-year-old Nesterenko has seen his ice time fluctuate wildly late in the season -- his 15:46 on Sunday was his highest mark of the season, and it came just two games after he bottomed out at 4:59 versus the Flames on Wednesday. He's produced six points, 20 shots on net, 46 hits and a minus-4 rating over 20 appearances, a level of offense that suggests he's best suited to bottom-six duties. None
March 26, 2025 Nesterenko scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins. - Nesterenko has scored in three of his last four outings despite being limited to a bottom-six role. He missed one game in that span due to an undisclosed injury. Nesterenko's upside is somewhat limited given his usage, but he's managed to produce four goals on 14 shots, one assist, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 12 contests despite averaging just 10:31 of ice time this season. None
March 23, 2025 Nesterenko (undisclosed) is expected to play against Carolina on Sunday, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News. - After missing Thursday's 4-1 win over Nashville, Nesterenko fully participated in Saturday's practice. He has registered three goals, one assist, 24 hits and nine shots on net in 10 NHL appearances this season. Due to Nesterenko's return, Oliver Kylington will probably be a healthy scratch versus the Hurricanes. None
March 20, 2025 Nesterenko (undisclosed) missed the morning skate and is questionable for Thursday's clash against Nashville, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports. - Nesterenko has three goals, four points, nine shots and 24 hits in 10 appearances in 2024-25. If he's unavailable versus the Predators, then Anaheim will probably dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, which would result in Oliver Kylington making his Ducks debut. None
March 19, 2025 Nesterenko scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars. He also recorded two shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating. - Nesterenko has found the back of the net in back-to-back games for the Ducks, but the team has lost both contests. The 23-year-old has been limited to just 10 games this season, but he's notched three goals, an assist, nine shots, 24 hits and six blocked shots in that span, so he's doing his best effort to make sure his presence gets noted every time he's on the ice. None
March 17, 2025 Nesterenko scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues. - Nesterenko has taken over the spot of Sam Colangelo (upper body) on the Ducks' third line in the short term.

It's unclear if he'll be able to prove himself enough to stay with the big club once Colangelo or Robby Fabbri (upper body) return to the lineup. None
March 14, 2025 Nesterenko was called up by Anaheim on Friday. - Nesterenko has 13 goals and 34 points in 48 appearances with AHL San Diego in 2024-25.

Sam Colangelo and Ross Johnston are both day-to-day with upper-body injuries, which might lead to Nesterenko drawing into the lineup Friday versus Nashville. None
Jan. 24, 2025 Nesterenko was loaned to AHL San Diego on Friday. - Nesterenko had a goal and an assist over seven NHL games before he was a healthy scratch Thursday against Pittsburgh. He had five goals and seven assists across 29 AHL appearances before being recalled. None

The Wild took Nesterenko with the No. 172 pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, but they sent his NHL negotiating rights to Anaheim on March 3 as part of the John Klingberg trade. None
