Ville Husso News

The Ducks have been plummeting in the standings, losing five of six (1-5-0) and hope for better results on Thursday, with Husso between the pipes. Husso hasn't played much this season and is coming off a poor showing, allowing five goals on 30 shots (.833 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers. The 31-year-old Finnish goalie has a 3.09 GAA and .885 SV% in three appearances (1-1-0). The Ducks enter Thursday's game as sizeable +186 road underdogs against a New Jersey Devils team that has scored four or more goals in three of their last four games (3-1-0).

Husso has seen limited action this season, but he will start again in the front end of a back-to-back, his second start in eight games. That said, Husso has been solid when called upon, posting a 1.58 GAA and .935 SV% in two appearances (1-0-0). The 31-year-old Finnish goalie earned a backup role with the Ducks in 2025-26 after spending most of the previous two seasons in the AHL. The Ducks enter Monday's contest as +135 road underdogs against a New York Rangers team that has been outscored 8-1 in their last two games (0-1-1).

The Ducks' round one matchup isn't set in stone just yet, so it's a little surprising to see them give Lukas Dostal the night off on Thursday in favour of Husso. Husso's last start came back on April 4th when he surrendered four goals on just 19 shots in a 5-3 loss to the Flames. Husso and the Ducks enter action on Thursday at -125 on the money line.

Husso has had a semi-regular workload in recent weeks and will return to the crease on Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs for his sixth start in Anaheim's last 14 games. The 31-year-old Finnish goalie has earned his increased workload with serviceable play in the backup position, posting a solid 2.60 GAA and .918 SV% in five games this month (3-2-0). The Ducks enter Monday's contest as -184 home favourites against a Maple Leafs team coming off a one-sided 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues.

For the third time in the last seven games, the Ducks will turn to Husso to tend the twine when they face the Calgary Flames on Thursday. The 31-year-old Finnish goalie allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) in his most recent outing, but salvaged a 6-5 overtime victory over the Buffalo Sabres. He has a 2.81 GAA and .918 SV% in four games this month (2-2-0). The Ducks enter Thursday's contest as -128 road favourites against a Flames team that has been surprisingly competent since losing several key players at the trade deadline, going 6-4-0.

The Ducks will unsurprisingly turn to their backup netminder Husso for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Wednesday. Husso's last start came way back on January 26th when he was tagged for five goals on 30 shots in a 7-4 loss in Edmonton. The 30-year-old goaltender has made 11 starts for the Ducks this season, logging a 6-5-1 record and an .882 SV%. Husso and The Ducks enter action on Wednesday at -105 on the money line.

The Ducks are coming off a 4-3 overtime win over the Calgary Flames last night and will turn to Husso on the tail end of their back-to-back on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 30-year-old Husso was excellent in his previous outing, saving 17 of 18 shots (.944 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings. He has a 2.98 GAA and .902 SV% in his last six games (3-2-1). The Ducks enter Monday's contest as significant +225 road underdogs against an Oilers team that is 5-3-2 in their last 10 games.

The Ducks are coming off a 4-3 overtime win over the Calgary Flames last night and will likely turn to Husso on the tail end of their back-to-back on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 30-year-old Husso was excellent in his previous outing, saving 17 of 18 shots (.944 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings. He has a 2.98 GAA and .902 SV% in his last six games (3-2-1). The Ducks enter Monday's contest as significant +225 road underdogs against an Oilers team that is 5-3-2 in their last 10 games.

Lukas Dostal will get a rare night off on Thursday, clearing the way for Husso to make his first start of 2026. Husso's last start came way back on December 16th, when he was tagged for four goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss in Columbus. The 30-year-old netminder carries a 5-3-1 record and an .884 SV% into Thursday night's matchup, where the Ducks enter action as heavy underdogs at +185 on the money line.

The Ducks have allowed four or more goals in nine of their last 12 games (2-7-3) and, with Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) dealing with an injury, could be looking to shake things up between the pipes after recalling Husso from San Diego (AHL). The 30-year-old Husso had a 3.25 GAA and .884 SV% in a nine-game stint (5-3-1) with the Ducks earlier this season.

With Anaheim on the 2nd half of their back-to-back, Ville Husso will take the crease as the Ducks head to Columbus on Tuesday. The 30-year-old backup netminder has struggled when called upon this season, shown by his 5-3-0 record, 3.16 GAA and .888 SV%. He heads to Columbus to take on the floundering Blue Jackets, who are in the midst of a five game losing streak.

Husso stopped 44 of 47 shots in the Ducks shootout win in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Husso has won three straight starts while stopping 81 of the 88 shots that he's faced, filling in admirably for the injured Lukas Dostal and Petr Mrazek. Tonight, he will face the Islanders, where the Ducks are +111 road underdogs. With 13 games on the schedule on Thursday, you probably don't need to risk streaming Husso against an Islanders team that has won four of their last five games.
