Line Change
Johnston will draw into the Ducks' lineup on Thursday.

Goalie Start
Gibson will start in Dallas on Thursday.
The Ducks will turn to Gibson for the 30th time this season when they travel to Dallas on Thursday. Gibson was solid his last time out, stopping 28 of the 30 shots he faced enroute to a 4-2 victory over the Sabres on Tuesday. The effort helped raise his SV% to an even .900 on the year. He'll draw a much tougher assignment on Thursday, however, and may have a hard time avoiding a league-leading 20th loss of the season with the Ducks being +260 underdogs in Dallas.
Line Change
Kylington is expected to make his season debut Thursday vs. Columbus.
Kylington played two games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) as part of a conditioning stint after not playing a single professional game since the 2021-22 season. That year, Kylington scored 31 points (9G / 22A) in 73 games with the Flames. He is expected to suit up on the third defensive pairing with Jordan Oesterle.
Husso (lower body) has been activated from the Injured Reserve and loaned to Grand Rapids (AHL) for conditioning.
Husso has not played since December 18th, when he suffered a lower-body injury, and, as a result, has been loaned to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL for a conditioning stint before returning to the Red Wings. Husso, sporting a 3.53 GAA and .893 SV% through 18 games (9-5-2-), will likely serve as the backup to Alex Lyon upon his return.

Gibson will start for the fourth time in the last five games when the Ducks host the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday evening. The Ducks have been terrible lately, losing 10 of 12 (2-9-1), paralleled by poor play from Gibson, as he has an ugly .858 SV% in his last six contests (1-5-0). The Ducks are +145 home underdogs against a Sabres club that is expected to welcome Jeff Skinner back into the lineup.
Zellweger has been recalled from San Diego (AHL) and is expected to make his NHL debut Tuesday.
Zellweger was the 34th overall pick of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday night. In 34 games with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL, Zellweger has 25 points (8G / 17A).
