Anaheim Ducks News

Dostal will get the nod for the tail-end of Anaheim's back-to-back when they travel to Edmonton to take on the Oilers on Friday. Dostal was excellent in his last appearance, stopping 32 of the 34 shots he faced in a 3-2 victory over the Devils on New Year's Eve. The 24-year-old netminder owns a 10-10-3 record and an impressive .914 SV% on the season. He'll need to be at his best again on Friday against Connor McDavid and the Oilers, as the Ducks enter action at +375 on the money line.

The Ducks are riding a two-game winning streak, with an impressive win against Edmonton and New Jersey, and will turn to Gibson between the pipes on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. Gibson has a serviceable 2.93 GAA and .906 SV% in 12 appearances this season (5-5-1) but has struggled lately, posting a 1-5-0 record in his last seven appearances and posting a .895 SV%. The Ducks enter Thursday's contest as sizeable +230 home underdogs against the Jets.

Kylington has been decimated with injuries the past several seasons and has not played since November 27th, remaining week-to-week. The 27-year-old defenseman has been limited to eight games this season, averaging 12:10 time-on-ice and scoring two points (1G / 1A).

Nesterenko has 12 games of NHL experience but has exclusively played in the AHL this season. The 23-year-old forward has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 29 games with the San Diego Gulls (AHL) this season.

It appears John Gibson may still not be fully recovered from his illness, as the Ducks will turn to Dostal for a third consecutive game. Dostal secured the victory his last time out, allowing three goals on 23 shots in a 5-3 win over the Oilers on Sunday. The 24-year-old netminder brings a 9-10-3 record and a .913 SV% into Tuesday's clash with the Devils. He'll need to be at his best again tonight with the Ducks entering action at +230 on the money line.

Clang was recalled several days ago to serve as Lukas Dostal's backup due to John Gibson (illness) being out of the lineup. The 22-year-old Clang did not make it into the Ducks' crease and will return to the San Diego Gulls (AHL), where he has a 3.10 GAA and .896 SV% in 19 games (7-10-1).

Gibson is battling an illness and was not at practice on Friday. Lukas Dostal will likely be between the pipes if Gibson misses any time. The Ducks return to the ice on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Carlsson was limited to only 11:41 time-on-ice before exiting Sunday's 5-4 win over Utah HC with an undisclosed injury. The second-year forward has 12 points (7G / 5A) in 26 games this season and has only one point (1G / 0A) in his last seven.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, a night after an impressive 5-4 come-from-behind victory over the Utah Hockey Club, Gibson will be in the crease for the Ducks. The 31-year-old Gibson has a serviceable 3.01 GAA and .903 SV% in 11 games this season (5-5-1) but has battled adversity lately, allowing three or more goals in five straight (1-4-0), posting a subpar .889 SV%. The Ducks enter Monday's contest as +280 road underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights club that defeated them 4-1 on December 4th.
