Killorn took a puck to the face at morning skate on Thursday, but will play in the evening against the Detroit Red Wings. The 36-year-old Killorn is averaging 16:32 time-on-ice and has five points (1G / 4A) in 16 games this season.
Granlund had a slow start to his Ducks' career, with only three points in his first six games before having a massive five-point game (2G / 3A) in game seven. However, any momentum he had was halted, as he was injured in his following game and has been sidelined for eight consecutive games since. He returns to the lineup on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings.
Poehling was a surprise scratch on Thursday, with the team not announcing the injury prior to warmups. Poehling's absence will make room for Mikael Granlund, who is set to return from a lower-body injury.
The Ducks will hand Dostal his 14th start of the season when they travel to Detroit to take on the Red Wings on Thursday.

The 25-year-old netminder carries an 8-4-1 record into Thursday night's matchup, where the Ducks enter action at +125 on the money line.
With Ryan Strome returning from an injury to make his season debut, the Ducks have reassigned Colangelo to the San Diego Gulls (AHL). The 23-year-old Colangelo scored 40 points (22G / 18A) in 40 games with San Diego last season.

The Czech goalie has a 2.66 GAA and .908 SV% through 12 games this season (8-3-1).

Dostal was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 33 shots (.970 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. The 25-year-old Czech netminder has a 2.55 GAA and .916 SV% in nine games this season (5-3-1). The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as +140 home underdogs against a Panthers team (6-5-1) that is averaging only 2.5 goals per game.
