Anaheim Ducks News

Fabbri missed the Red Wings' game on Thursday due to personal reasons but will return to the lineup on Saturday vs. Calgary. The 28-year-old is his having his most productive season in Detroit to date (five seasons) with 13 goals, eight assists, 50 SOG, 10 PIMs and a -7 plus/minus through 39 games played.

It's unclear exactly when Gibson suffered the injury, as he was able to complete the second period but did not come out for the third. Lukas Dostal replaced him. We should expect to receive an update on Gibson's injury following the conclusion of Thursday's game.

Dumoulin picked up a lower-body injury early in Monday's game in New Jersey and did not play Tuesday against the Islanders, but is ready to return on Thursday. Ryker Evans will sit in his place.

Lacombe will be the odd-man out on Thursday as Gustav Lindstrom draws back into the Ducks' lineup. Lacombe has one goal and eight assists in 48 games this season.

Gibson will be back between the pipes for the Ducks when they travel to Ottawa on Thursday after Lukas Dostal got the nod in Tuesday's 5-0 defeat to the Canadiens. Gibson was forced to leave his last start on February 9th against the Oilers due to a lower-body injury, allowing two goals on 21 shots before giving way to Dostal. Gibson had been enjoying a nice stretch of form prior to the injury, posting a 2-0-1 record and a .919 SV% across his last four appearances. He'll be hard-pressed to come away with a victory on Thursday as the Ducks find themselves as +195 underdogs in Ottawa.

Dumoulin picked up a lower-body injury early in Monday's game in New Jersey and did not play Tuesday against the Islanders. Justin Schultz returned from absence due to personal matters and replaced Dumoulin on the third defensive pair.

Mintyukov has been out of the lineup since January 9th, missing 10 games with a shoulder injury, but appears to be nearing a return. The rookie defender was enjoying an impressive first season in the NHL, registering 19 points (2G / 17A), 56 hits, and 43 blocks in 40 games.

The Ducks will turn to Dostal on Tuesday after John Gibson got the starting nod in each of the team's previous two games. Dostal relieved Gibson in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers after the latter was forced to leave the game with a lower-body injury. Dostal did pick up the win in his last start, allowing just two goals on 37 shots as the Ducks edged the Wild 3-2. He draws a a decent matchup on Tuesday with the Ducks having even odds to pick up the win in Montreal.

Dumoulin picked up a lower-body injury early in Monday's game in New Jersey and will not play Tuesday against the Islanders. Justin Schultz is back from an absence due to personal reasons and will replace Dumoulin on the Kraken's third pair.

McTavish missed the Ducks' previous game due to an upper-body injury but will return on Tuesday vs. Montreal. The 21-year-old Sophmore is enjoying another breakout season on a less-than-stellar Ducks team, with 13 goals, 31 points, 97 SOG, 62 PIMs and a -17 plus/minus through 43 games before the injury. He will resume his top-six role in Anaheim's lineup.

Dumoulin suffered the injury late in the first period and was unable to return. We should expect to receive an update on the injury following the conclusion of Monday's game.

Killorn has missed the last seven games with a knee injury and is progressing toward returning to the Ducks' lineup. In his first season with the Ducks, Killorn has 19 points (6G / 13A) in 34 games, his lowest point-per-game pace in six seasons.

Fabbri will be away from the team for the Tuesday night game against the Edmonton Oilers as he tends to personal matters, but could rejoin the club for their Thursday contest against the Vancouver Canucks. Fabbri has struggled offensively lately, scoring only one point (0G / 1A) in his last seven games.

Harkins played 5:37 time-on-ice on Saturday but was unavailable at practice on Monday after being diagnosed with a concussion and placed on Injured Reserve. Harkins has gone eight games without recording a point.

Head coach Greg Cronin did not have much of an update on Gibson's status post-game, only saying that he "cramped up or something.” Consider Gibson questionable for Tuesday's game in Montreal.

McTavish will be out of the lineup on Friday against the Edmonton Oilers due to an upper-body injury. Before the All-Star break, McTavish had points in four of his last six games, collecting one goal, three assists, and 20 penalty minutes.

The Ducks make their return to the ice from the All-Star break on Friday night and will turn to John Gibson between the pipes. Gibson last played on January 31st, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. The 30-year-old Gibson has a tough task at hand as the Ducks are significant +236 road underdogs against a high-scoring Edmonton Oilers club that lost for the first time in 16 games on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Killorn has missed the last six games with a knee injury and is progressing toward returning to the Ducks' lineup over the next couple of weeks. In his first season with the Ducks, Killorn has 19 points (6G / 13A) in 34 games, his lowest point-per-game pace in six seasons.

Mintyukov has been out of the lineup since January 9th, missing 10 games with a shoulder injury, but appears to be nearing a return. The rookie defender was enjoying an impressive first season in the NHL, registering 19 points (2G / 17A), 56 hits, and 43 blocks in 40 games.
