Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas sustained an upper-body injury against Minnesota on Thursday and had to exit the game early. The hard-hitting rearguard lasted just five minutes in the contest, and his exit left the Ducks without one of their most effective players. Gudas leads Anaheim with a plus-12 rating and is once again among the league leaders in hits, with 213 recorded in 60 games. Offensively, it's also been an above-average season for Gudas, as he's been on track for his fourth 20-point campaign. The 33-year-old has had six goals and 10 assists. Gustav Lindstrom and William Lagesson are candidates to jump into the lineup Friday versus Winnipeg, but neither player can offer what Gudas provides.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas (illness) is considered a game-time call for Friday's matchup against Winnipeg. He's been out for four of the past five games and could miss additional time due to an illness. Gudas has registered 10 points (five goals, five assists) across 32 games for the season while delivering 87 hits and blocking 63 shots. Jackson LaCombe filled in for Gudas on Wednesday versus Toronto but will likely come out of the lineup on Friday if Gudas is ready to return.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas (lower body) was present at the morning skate and looks set to return to action Thursday versus Washington. The hard-hitting blue-liner skipped Tuesday's meeting with Vancouver due to a lower-body injury suffered in the previous game. Gudas provides a fearsome presence at the back for Anaheim, and he's also done well offensively this season, logging seven points (four goals, three assists) in 21 outings. He'll be skating with Jackson LaCombe on the third defensive pairing on Thursday.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas won't play Tuesday against Vancouver due to a lower-body injury. The team considers his day-to-day. Gudas scored his fourth goal of the season a couple of games back and has tallied seven points in 21 games. He has also racked up 58 hits and 47 blocks with a plus-seven rating. Tristan Luneau will be covering for Gudas on Tuesday.
Florida Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas (undisclosed) is expected to play in Game 3 of the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday. He suffered an undisclosed injury in Monday's Game 2, logging only 2:11 of ice time, and hasn't practiced since then, but it looks like he will be ready for action Thursday. Gudas has racked up 30 blocks, 81 hits and 30 penalty minutes in 18 playoff appearances this year, adding three assists on the offensive end. Fellow defenseman Aaron Ekblad is also expected to play after sitting out Wednesday's practice for maintenance, while forward Eetu Luostarinen (lower body) will remain unavailable.
Florida Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Monday against the Ducks. He left Saturday's game against Nashville early after appearing to hurt his right hand, but Gudas has shaken off the injury and will play in his 50th game of the season Monday. The Czech blue-liner is a non-factor offensively, but he has been a great source for hits and blocks for fantasy managers, delivering 190 hits for the season and throwing himself in front of 84 shots.
Florida Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas appeared to have suffered a hand injury in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Nashville, exiting the game in the second period. He was struck on his right hand with a shot when Gudas was killing a penalty. He finished with 6:59 of ice time and had one shot on goal, four blocked shots and two hits in the game. Gudas is among the league leaders with 190 hits and has blocked 84 shots across 49 games, so he's a guy whose presence on the defensive end will be hugely missed if he has to take some time off to recover. There should be an update on his status prior to Monday's matchup versus Anaheim.
Florida Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas suffered an upper-body injury Saturday against the Canucks and was able to log just 2:08 of action. He is set to be re-evaluated Sunday, along with forward Patric Hornqvist, who also couldn't complete Saturday's contest with an upper-body injury. Gudas lacks offensive skills and sits on only six points for the campaign, but he has handed out the fourth-most hits in the league (95) in 25 games, and the Panthers will definitely miss his physical presence if Gudas is forced to miss time.
Florida Panthers center Anton Lundell (upper body) and defenseman Radko Gudas (lower body) will miss the rest of the regular season. The two got injured in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Boston and it doesn't make any sense for the team to push them too hard in the final two regular-season games. Lundell completes his debut campaign with 44 points in 65 games. The 20-year-old has looked like a savvy veteran on the ice and seems set for a very successful career. Gudas finished the year with a league-high 355 hits. He also managed 16 points and 118 blocks in 77 outings. Both players are considered day-to-day and they should be back in the lineup for the playoffs.
Florida Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas won't be in the lineup on Friday against Buffalo. The Panthers sit comfortably at the top of the Eastern Conference standings and don't need to push too much anymore, which gives the team the opportunity to rest players. Gudas, who has delivered a league-high 323 hits this season, is expected to be back Saturday against Nashville. Petteri Lindbohm will take his place against the Sabres. The Finnish rearguard offers next to nothing fantasy-wise, so fantasy managers should turn their focus elsewhere.
Florida Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas (upper body) will return to the lineup for Saturday's clash with the Hurricanes. The hard-hitting blueliner missed one game, which the Panthers won 3-2 with a late comeback against Dallas on Thursday. Gustav Forsling, who picked up an undisclosed injury in the victory, will make room for Gudas. The 30-year-old has only two points for the season, but he's delivered 98 hits and has managed a decent amount of shots with 32 in 18 games. He's also recorded 21 blocks and has a plus-seven rating for the season with 16 penalty minutes.
