Pavel Mintyukov Joins Ducks Lineup Wednesday
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Pavel Mintyukov (lower body) will enter the lineup against Utah on Wednesday. He's been dealing with a lower-body issue during training camp but is finally ready to see some game action. The Ducks have one more preseason game scheduled after Wednesday, so Mintyukov won't have much time to find his feet before the regular season starts. However, he will be expected to play a significant role right off the bat as a top-four member in defense. Mintyukov notched 28 points (four goals, 24 assists) in 63 games with 88 shots, 65 blocks, and 85 hits during his rookie campaign in 2023-24.
