Terry (upper-body) will not play against the Jets on Friday.

Terry recorded an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Edmonton Oilers, but was limited to only 13:52 time-on-ice, due to an upper-body injury and will miss Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. The 28-year-old Terry has battled a string of injuries this season, but has been extremely productive when healthy, scoring 45 points (13G / 32A) in 46 games.

Dostal will start against the Jets on Friday.

The Ducks will hand Dostal his 40th start of the season when they play host to the Jets on Friday. Dostal surrendered five goals on 27 shots in his first start following the Olympic break on Wednesday, but still managed to come away with the victory as the Ducks bested the Oilers by a score of 6-5. The 25-year-old netminder brings a 22-13-2 record and an .895 SV% into Friday night's matchup, where the Ducks enter action at -130 on the money line.

Lukas Dostal
Vatrano (personal) will be a game-time decision vs. Winnipeg on Friday.

Vatrano has not played since the end of December, but could return to the lineup on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 31-year-old Vatrano has scored over 20 goals in each of his past three seasons, but has struggled to produce in 2025-26, with only six points (3G / 3A) through 38 games.

Terry (upper-body) will be a game-time decision vs. Winnipeg on Friday.

Terry recorded an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Edmonton Oilers, but was limited to only 13:52 time-on-ice, due to an upper-body injury and is uncertain for Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. The 28-year-old Terry has battled a string of injuries this season, but has been extremely productive when healthy, scoring 45 points (13G / 32A) in 46 games.

Troy Terry
Strome will be a healthy scratch vs. Edmonton on Wednesday.

With Leo Carlsson (lower body) returning to Anaheim's lineup, Strome will be the odd man out on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. After five consecutive seasons with over 40 points, the 32-year-old Strome has struggled in the 2025-26 season with the Ducks, scoring only eight points (3G / 5A) through 32 games.

Ryan Strome
Carlsson (lower-body) will return vs. Edmonton on Wednesday.

Carlsson has not played since January 10th but will return to Anaheim's lineup on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 21-year-old Swedish forward is having an excellent season with 44 points (18G / 26A) in 44 games, but his production had declined in the weeks leading up to his injury, with only 3 points (1G / 2A) in his last 11 games.

Leo Carlsson
Granlund (upper-body) is out vs. Edmonton.

Granlund exited Finland's Bronze Medal victory over Slovakia late in the third period due to an upper-body injury and will be sidelined as Anaheim returns to action on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 33-year-old Granlund has had an up-and-down first season with Anaheim, but was productive heading into the Olympic break, with seven points (3G / 4A) in his last six games.

Mikael Granlund
Dostal will start vs. Edmonton on Wednesday.

Dostal was impressive and had a heavy workload while representing Team Czechia at the Olympics. Still, he will be ready to return to the crease for Anaheim on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 25-year-old Dostal was on a tremendous run heading into the Olympic break, posting a dazzling 1.96 GAA and .930 SV% in his last nine games (8-1-0), and will hope to carry that momentum to help his team battle for a playoff spot. The Ducks enter Wednesday's contest as slight -101 home underdogs against an Oilers team that defeated them 7-4 in their previous meeting.

Lukas Dostal
Mrazek underwent hip surgery Tuesday and will be out for the remainder of the season.

Mrazek has not appeared since January 5th and will not miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season after undergoing hip surgery on Tuesday. The 34-year-old veteran net-minder had a very forgettable first season in Anaheim backing up Lukas Dostal, posting a 3-5-0 record, 4.07 GAA and .858 SV%.

Petr Mrazek
Clara (lower-body) is questionable to play Friday vs. Slovakia.

Clara was absolutely spectacular in his Olympics debut, making 46 saves before being forced to leave Italy's loss to Sweden. If Clara isn't available to start Friday's game vs. Slovakia, expect Davide Fadani, who replaced him on Wednesday, to get the start.

Damian  Clara
Dostal will start Thursday vs. Canada.

Dostal has had a bit of an up-and-down season with the Anaheim Ducks, going 21-13-2 with a 2.92 GAA and .897 SV% in 38 games. Internationally, he hasn't represented Czechia since 2024, when he led them to a Bronze medal, going 6-2-0 with a 1.58 GAA, .939 SV% and three shutouts. Dostal and the Czechs are +390 underdogs against the powerhouse Canadians in their opening game.
