Myatovic is off to a hot start in the minors with five goals and three assists in 11 games.

He won a WHL Championship with the Seattle Thunderbirds attending the 2023 Memorial Cup in Kamloops.

In 2024, Myatovic was recognized by the Prince George Sports Hall of Fame with a Rising Star Award for athletes aged 23-and-under.

He is also a graduate of the Cariboo Cougars AAA program.

To make room for Myatovic, the Ducks placed forward AJ Greer on injured reserve.

Anaheim’s next game is tomorrow night (Tuesday) in Vancouver against the Canucks.
