Leo Carlsson Scores Twice On Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson scored two goals during their 6-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday evening. Carlsson opened the scoring in the first period with a shorthanded goal. Later in the third, he would find the back of the net for a second time, this time during even-strength play. In this contest, he logged four shots on goal and added a blocked shot. This was his second two-goal game over his last four contests. Since the start of the month (13 games), the former No. 2 overall pick has found the back of the net seven times and added five helpers, with two of his total points coming on the power play. He will look to continue this offensive surge on Friday evening when the Ducks host the New York Rangers.

Pavel Mintyukov On Track To Play Against Bruins

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Pavel Mintyukov (illness) is expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins. He is penciled in for a third-pairing role in defense despite missing Tuesday's practice due to an illness. Mintyukov recently had assists in back-to-back games, but he hasn't taken a step forward in 2024-25. The 21-year-old has been limited to 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 58 games. He has also recorded 80 blocks and 73 hits with 63 shots on goal. Forward Isac Lundestrom (illness) is also expected to play against Boston after sitting out Tuesday's practice.

Sam Colangelo Expected To Return To Action Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks right wing Sam Colangelo (upper body) has been cleared for action and is expected to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins. He has missed five games due to an upper-body injury. Before he got hurt, Colangelo had been heating up, averaging a point per game over a six-game stretch. He also had a four-game goal streak during that time. The 23-year-old from Stoneham, Massachusetts, has recorded six goals and seven points overall in 20 games this season. Anaheim will use Colangelo on the fourth line during Wednesday's game, but he is also set to skate with the first power-play unit. Brett Leason will come out of the lineup.

John Gibson A Game-Time Call Tuesday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's clash against the Dallas Stars. He is set to dress as the backup if cleared for action. Gibson last played on March 5 against the Vancouver Canucks, falling out of the lineup due to a lower-body injury. During his absence, Lukas Dostal has shared the netminding duties with Ville Husso. In 25 starts, Gibson has managed a 9-10-2 record this season, registering a 2.82 goals-against average with a .910 save percentage. Four of his wins came in his first five starts of the season, so it has not been a fun ride for the Pittsburgh native in 2024-25.

John Gibson Still Out On Sunday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (lower body) will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game on Sunday against the St. Louis Blues. At the start of the week, reports indicated that Gibson had been cleared to return to the lineup, but the Ducks have continued to navigate the 2024-25 season without him. Gibson has a 9-10-2 record for the campaign, allowing 2.82 goals with a .910 save percentage. Lukas Dostal, who is sporting a 20-17-5 record, has received heavy usage during Gibson's absence and will make another start in Sunday's contest.

Sam Colangelo Deemed Day-To-Day With An Upper-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks right wing Sam Colangelo (upper body) will exit the lineup for Friday's contest against the Nashville Predators and is considered day-to-day. He has sustained an upper-body injury after turning heads last week with a four-game goal streak. The 23-year-old became only the third rookie in franchise history to have a goal streak of at least four games. For the season, Colangelo has posted six goals and seven points in 20 games. Ross Johnston (upper body) is also set to miss Friday's action. Jansen Harkins and Nikita Nesterenko will step in for the injured forwards. Neither player holds any fantasy value.

John Gibson Available For Tuesday's Matchup

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (lower body) will be back in the lineup on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. He has missed a pair of games due to a lower-body injury. It looks like Anaheim plans to use Gibson as a backup on Tuesday, as Lukas Dostal was in the starter's crease during the morning skate. Gibson is sporting a 9-10-2 record for the season with a 2.82 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage. If he doesn't return to action on Tuesday, there's a strong chance we will see Gibson on Wednesday as the Ducks wrap up a back-to-back against the Utah Hockey Club.

John Gibson Exits Early On Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (upper body) exited Wednesday's contest early with an upper-body injury. Gibson logged just over 30 minutes of ice time before being replaced by Lukas Dostal. Before leaving, Gibson stopped 19 of the 21 shots he faced. Over his previous four contests, the 31-year-old has struggled as he has held a high 3.02 GAA with a .890 save percentage. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Dostal to control the starter's crease for the foreseeable future if this injury is serious. In his brief relief appearance, he stopped 14 of the 15 shots he saw. Before Wednesday, Dostal held an impressive 7-1 record over his last contests with a 2.59 GAA and a .923 save percentage. Dostal will likely get the starting nod against the St. Louis Blues on Friday evening.

Robby Fabbri Placed On Injured Reserve

Anaheim Ducks forward Robby Fabbri (upper body) was placed on Injured Reserve Thursday. He was hurt in Tuesday's tilt against the Buffalo Sabres, logging only 6:20 of ice time. Fabbri has tallied eight goals and 16 points in 44 appearances this season. Ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Vancouver Canucks, the Ducks recalled Sam Colangelo from the minors, and he will be inserted into the lineup as Fabbri's replacement. The 23-year-old has been nearly a point-per-game player in the AHL, but Colangelo has yet to make a mark in the big league. Through his first 15 career NHL appearances, Colangelo has recorded two goals and zero assists.

Trevor Zegras Suspended For Three Games

Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras will sit out the next three games because of a suspension. He received the suspension for interference against Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen during Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss. Zegras' suspension will begin with Tuesday's matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. He will be eligible to return to action on March 4 versus the Edmonton Oilers. The 23-year-old finished scoreless on Sunday but has recently shown signs of life. Zegras has posted 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 34 games this season. Robby Fabbri or Cutter Gauthier may fill a top-six role until Zegras returns.

John Gibson Exits Early With Upper-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (upper body) exited early during Saturday's contest with an injury. Before exiting, Gibson stopped 19 of the 20 shots he faced against the Boston Bruins. The backup netminder, Lukas Dostal, entered the game in the third period and stopped nine of the 10 shots he saw en route to clinching the victory. Fantasy managers should monitor Gibson's status, but given that the Ducks play on Sunday evening, he will likely be unavailable. As a result, Dostal is expected to get the starting nod against the Red Wings. Over his previous six starts, Gibson has only allowed more than two goals on one occasion. During this stretch, he has held a .944 save percentage with a 1.82 GAA. Dostal holds a .964 percent save percentage over his last two outings and would be a viable DFS play against Detroit.

Lukas Dostal Stops 43 Shots In Victory

Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal stopped 43 of the 44 shots he faced en route to defeating the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday evening. The Ducks were heavily outshot in this contest, but Dostal was able to lead the way. His lone blemish came in the final minutes of the third period when Adrian Kempe beat him on a backhand shot. However, Dostal was able to shut the door during overtime and the penalty shootout to earn Anaheim the extra point. This victory extended his winning streak to four games. During this stretch, the 24-year-old has posted a solid .938 percent SV with a 2.13 GAA. He has allowed two goals or less in three of these contests. Even though Dostal has typically alternated starts with John Gibson, Dostal's recent play could earn him more opportunities after the international break.

Radko Gudas Does Not Practice On Thursday

According to Derek Lee of The Hockey News, Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas (illness) did not practice on Thursday due to an illness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their final contest before the international break on Saturday evening against the Los Angeles Kings. Gudas has not missed a game this season. Over his previous seven games, he has tallied two points (both helpers) with 10 shots, 29 hits, and 22 blocked shots. While Gudas does not produce much in the offensive categories, he has produced a hefty amount of hits and blocks. Across 53 total games, he has tallied just 12 points but added 181 hits (3.4 per game) and 124 blocks (2.3 per game). If Gudas were to miss Saturday's contest, Pavel Mintyukov would likely draw into the starting lineup.

Troy Terry Considered A Game-Time Decision Tuesday

Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry (illness) is a game-time call for Tuesday's tilt against the Dallas Stars. Anaheim's top scorer is battling to overcome an illness and may be out for a second straight game. In his last appearance against the Calgary Flames, Terry saw a four-game scoring streak come to an end. He has amassed 16 goals and 39 points in 47 games during the season. Mason McTavish filled in for Terry in the top six on Sunday against the Montreal Canadiens and could have a larger role to play again against the Stars. McTavish has been hot recently, picking up eight points (seven goals, one assist) over the past six games.

Lukas Dostal Starting On Tuesday In Seattle

According to Derek Lee, Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal will get the starting nod on Tuesday evening against the Seattle Kraken. Dostal entered their previous contest in relief of John Gibson (upper body) and will likely see most of the starts for the time being while Gibson remains out. In this contest, Dostal stopped 35 of the 37 shots he saw over the final two periods of the contest. Over his previous five starts, Dostal has held a disappointing 4.18 GAA with a .872% SV. However, prior to this rough stretch, the 24-year-old netminder won his previous two starts. Dostal is a viable value play in DFS contests, given that Kraken has scored just six goals over their previous three games.

John Gibson Exits Early On Saturday

According to the team, Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (upper body) exited early during Saturday's contest against the Nashville Predators. Gibson stopped nine of the 10 shots he faced in the opening frame, but Lukas Dostal took over for the final two frames. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 31-year-old's status leading up to their next contest on Tuesday evening against the Seattle Kraken. In his previous start, Gibson stopped 31 of the 32 shots he faced en route to defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins. However, prior to this strong showing, Gibson posted a .889% SV and a 3.69 GAA over his previous three contests. If Gibson were to miss time, Dostal would see the majority of the starts going forward in the Anaheim crease.

Trevor Zegras Set To Rejoin Ducks Lineup Tuesday

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras (knee) is set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against Florida. He has missed 22 games following meniscus surgery on his right knee. Zegras has not been impactful offensively for most of the campaign, but he began to turn a corner before getting hurt. The 23-year-old has collected 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 24 games, notching six of his points during a four-game scoring streak in late November. Zegras is expected to link up with Leo Carlsson and Alex Killorn on the second line on Tuesday.

Isac Lundestrom Day-To-Day With A Lower-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks center Isac Lundestrom (lower body) is considered day-to-day. The Swedish forward was injured against Florida on Saturday and is expected to miss Tuesday's rematch between the teams. Lundestrom has been limited to four goals and seven points in 44 games this season, so Anaheim will not lose much offensively with him out. Brett Leason, who has picked up 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 37 games, is projected to replace Lundestrom on the fourth line Tuesday night.

Brock McGinn  • LW  •  Ducks

Brock McGinn Out 7-9 Months Following Knee Surgery

Anaheim Ducks left wing Brock McGinn (knee) will miss 7-9 months after undergoing surgery. McGinn hasn't played since Dec. 23, and the team announced on Tuesday that the veteran forward had successful ACL reconstruction surgery last week. The 2024-25 campaign ends with eight points (four goals, four assists) in 26 games for McGinn, who is a pending unrestricted free agent. He is coming off a four-year, $11 million deal. Considering the expected timeline for his recovery, McGinn may not be ready for the start of next season.

Troy Terry Returns To Action Tuesday

Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry (personal) will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's visit to Washington. He has missed four games following the birth of his son on Jan. 7. The Ducks will be delighted to have Terry back, as the 27-year-old leads the team in all the major offensive categories. He has produced 33 points (14 goals, 19 assists) in 39 games this season. Terry is expected to skate on a line with Frank Vatrano and Ryan Strome. Tuesday's matchup is a tough one for the Ducks, but Terry enjoyed a hot streak before exiting the lineup, bagging five goals and eight points over a six-game span.
