Brossoit will get the nod in the tail-end of Winnipeg's back-to-back after starter Connor Hellebuyck got the call in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Sharks. Though his usage has been sparse, Brossoit has been on quite a roll lately, posting a .946 SV% and a 3-1-0 record across his last four games. His last start came on New Year's Eve in Minnesota, when he stopped 24 of the 26 shots he faced enroute to a 3-2 victory. He's in a great spot to pick up his third straight victory on Friday with the Jets being -190 road favourites over Anaheim.

Lacombe will sit on Friday as Radko Gudas is set to return from an illness. Lacombe has no goals and four assists in 35 games this season.

Not much changes about Terry's return status but he was placed on the Injured Reserve Thursday with an upper-body injury retroactive to December 30th. The 26-year-old right winger had been enjoying a so-so beginning to his 2023-24 campaign, with nine goals, 22 points, 83 SOG, 14 PIMs and his -7 plus/minus through 35 games.

Lacombe will draw in for Radko Gudas, who will miss Wednesday's game with an illness. Lacombe is yet to score a goal this season and has just four assists in 34 games. He is expected to skate alongside Cam Fowler on the Ducks' top pair on Wednesday.

Terry did not play against the Edmonton Oilers on New Year's Eve and will miss the first game of 2024, his second-straight contest, as he continues to recover from an upper-body injury. Before his injury, Terry was beginning to turn the corner on a disappointing season, scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in his last 10 games after scoring only two points (0G / 2A) in his previous 11. The team is yet to give a timetable for his return.

Dostal will start the first game of 2024 for the Ducks, his first start since December 23rd, when he allowed three goals on 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. In six December appearances (1-4-0), Dostal allowed fewer than three goals five times, posting a respectable .918 SV%. The Ducks are welcoming a Toronto Maple Leafs team that played the night before, a 3-0 shutout victory over the Los Angeles Kings, but are still +179 home underdogs as they look to snap a two-game losing streak in which they have been outscored 9-2.

This is a positive development for Carlsson after initial fears that he may have suffered a season-ending injury. Carlsson left Thursday's game against the Flames after Calgary defenseman MacKenzie Weegar fell awkwardly onto Carlsson's leg. The 2023 second-overall pick has eight goals and seven assists through the first 23 games of his rookie season.

Dostal will start for the third time in the last four games for the Ducks and look for his second consecutive victory. After a midseason stretch with limited action, posting a .787 SV% in three games (0-3-0), Dostal has played significantly better lately, posting a .915 SV% across his last four appearances (1-2-0). The Ducks are sizeable +176 home underdogs on Thursday against the Calgary Flames, who have collected at least a point in four straight games (2-0-2).

Clang did not appear during his very brief stint with the Ducks and will head back to San Diego as Alex Stallock replaces him as John Gibson's (personal) placeholder for the time being. The 21-year-old Clang returns to the Gulls, where he struggled early in the season with his 2-7-2 record, .882 SV% and 3.76 GAA.

Brossoit has been exceptional in limited action this month and will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings. Despite winning only one of two games (1-1-0), he has saved 72 of 75 shots (.960 SV%) for a Jets squad that has collected at least a point in seven of eight games (6-1-1). The Jets will have a favourable matchup on Wednesday against the Red Wings, who have lost three straight and will have to rely on James Reimer between the pipes as Alex Lyon and Ville Husso are both injured.

Husso surrendered two goals on nine shots before leaving the game against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday with a lower-body injury. With Alex Lyon expected to be out of the lineup until after Christmas, James Reimer will likely start at least two of the next three games for the Red Wings heading into the holiday break. The Red Wings signed goaltender Michael Hutchinson on Tuesday to serve as a backup to Reimer in the interim.

Husso surrendered two goals on nine shots before leaving the game. Assuming he is unable to return, we can expect to receive some sort of update on his status following the completion of Monday's game. James Reimer entered the Red Wings' crease in place of Husso.
