Latest news
Nesterenko scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Nesterenko has scored in each of the last two games. The physical winger has two goals, six shots, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season. His playing time could go up if Cutter Gauthier (upper body) is forced to miss time after exiting Saturday's contest early. Nesterenko could help in banger leagues, but he won't have widespread fantasy appeal without a power-play role.

Nesterenko scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added three hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
Nesterenko has started the year with the Ducks, playing in all four games so far. He was shuffled onto the second line at even strength, though his 11:58 of ice time Friday was in line with his regular usage. The goal was his first point of the season to go with three shots on net, 16 hits, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. Nesterenko will need to display a bit more offense to be a real option in most fantasy formats.

Nesterenko was sent down to AHL San Diego on Thursday.
Nesterenko cleared waivers Jan. 7, but he spent another week on the NHL roster afterwards. His move to the AHL suggests at least one of Leo Carlsson (lower body), Troy Terry (upper body) or Cutter Gauthier (illness) should be good to go Friday versus the Kings. Nesterenko has nine points, 31 shots on net and 53 hits over 29 outings this season.

Nesterenko cleared waivers Wednesday and will remain with the Ducks, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Nesterenko's waivers timer will reset, and he can now play another 10 games or spend 30 days on the NHL roster before needing to pass through waivers again. With Nesterenko staying on the roster, the Ducks have a full 23-man roster of 14 forwards, seven defensemen and two goalies.

Anaheim waived Nesterenko on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Nesterenko is currently stuck in a 17-game goal drought during which he has recorded three assists, 20 shots and 33 hits while averaging 11:37 of ice time. Assuming the 24-year-old winger clears waivers, he will head down to AHL San Diego. The move to waive Nesterenko could result in increased minutes for Jansen Harkins.

Nesterenko logged an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.
Nesterenko had been scratched for the first 13 games of December, but he got a chance to play Monday when Ross Johnston (illness) and Frank Vatrano (upper body) were ruled out. The 24-year-old Nesterenko has shown flashes of potential with nine points over 24 appearances this season. He's added 25 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-1 rating. It's unclear if he'll be a regular in the lineup moving forward, but he should have the edge over Jansen Harkins to stay in even once Johnston is healthy again.
