Anaheim Ducks News

Strome missed Saturday's practice but head coach David Quinn is expecting Strome to play on Sunday. Strome has played well as of late, scoring two goals with four assists (six points) in his last six games.

Dansk was lit up for six goals on 37 shots in the Golden Knights loss in Philadelphia on Monday. After a brutal performance, Dansk and Garret Sparks swap spots and the 25-year-old heads back to Chicago. He is 0-1-0 with a 7.11 GAA and .720 SV% in the AHL this season.

Gibson was yanked after allowing four goals on 19 shots in the Ducks loss in Nashville on Tuesday. After a hot start to the season, Gibson has lost four of his last five starts (1-4-0) with a 3.06 GAA and .894 SV%. Tonight he faces a Stars team that has won two in a row and who are 25-16-4 on home-ice dating back to the start of last season.

Stalock stopped all 16 shots that he faced after replacing Devan Dubnyk (upper-body) to complete the team shutout over the Oilers on Tuesday. Dubnyk did not travel to Nashville, so Stalock will start against a Predators team that continues to lead the NHL in goal-scoring (4.22 GF/gm). Dating back to the start of last season, Stalock has gone 3-6-0 with a .905 SV% on the road.

Gibson allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Ducks loss to the Flames on Sunday. Gibson opened the season with three straight wins but has now lost three of the last four while allowing 10 goals on 113 shots (.921 SV%). As well as he has played to start the season, he draws a scary road matchup in Nashville. The Predators are tied for the NHL-lead in goal-scoring (4.00 GF/gm) through eight games.

Dumoulin was a late scratch from Saturday's game vs. Vegas and will miss at least Tuesday's game in Florida and Wednesday's game in TampaBay. With Dumoulin sidelined, John Marino is expected to play on the top-pair with Kris Letang and Juuso Riikola figures to see some reps on PP2.

With Marc-Andre Fleury starting the first nine games of the season and Malcolm Subban hurt, Dansk will start the front-end of Vegas' back-to-back. The 25-year-old netminder will be appearing in his first NHL games since October 30th, 2017. Dansk has gone 3-0-0 with a 1.78 GAA and .946 SV% in four career NHL appearances and was 27-13-2 with a 2.46 GAA and .913 SV% in 40 AHL games last year.

Dumoulin was originally slated to play against the Golden Knights but will be replaced by Jack Johnson for reasons unknown. Dumoulin must have tweaked something in warmups and the Penguins' injury woes continue.

Gibson allowed four goals on 23 shots in the Ducks loss in Boston on Monday. After opening the season with three straight wins, Gibson has lost two in a row while giving up six goals on 51 shots (.882 SV%). Overall, he is 2-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .971 SV% on home-ice but could be in tough against a Sabres team that is averaging 4.00 goals per game through six games.

Stalock stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Wild’s shutout win in Ottawa on Monday. Devan Dubnyk continues to struggle, so Stalock will start for the second time in three games. He has allowed just one goal on 37 shots (.973 SV%) so far this season. His opponent’s offence has been impressive so far, ranking third in shots/gm (35.3) and 11th in goals/gm (3.50).

Gibson allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Ducks loss in Pittsburgh last Thursday. Gibson was given Friday off, so they’ll come back to him in Boston this afternoon. Gibson has been outstanding to kick-off 2019-20, going 3-1-0 with a 1.26 GAA and .961 SV% in his first four starts. As good as he has been, the Bruins present a very difficult matchup.

Stalock allowed one goal on 11 shots after replacing Devan Dubnyk in the Wild’s loss to the Penguins on Saturday. With Devan Dubnyk struggling to start the season, Stalock will make his first start today in Ottawa. He was 2-5-0 with a 2.92 GAA and .898 SV% on the road last year.

Gibson has had a tremendous start to 2019-20, going 2-0 while stopping 67 of the 69 shots (.971 SV%). The Ducks have given up plenty of chances but Gibson has stood tall so far. He will need to continue what he has started if the Ducks are going to have any success this season. Tonight he faces a Red Wings team that is also 2-0 to start the season and are being carried by a red-hot first-line.
