Moore will be sidelined for 2-4 weeks with a lower-body injury, the team announced Friday.
Moore logged 67 regular-season games as a rookie last year, producing four goals, eight assists and 42 hits while averaging just 13:40 of ice time. While the 24-year-old blueliner is unlikely to put up huge offensive numbers, he should still surpass those totals in 2026-27 despite starting a little later. Moore's absence is expected to carry into the opening weeks of the regular season, which could open up a roster spot for Tristan Luneau.

Ducks' Ian Moore: Agrees to two-year deal
Rotowire
Moore signed a two-year contract with the Ducks on Thursday.
Moore completed his entry-level contract and was poised to become a restricted free agent. He had four goals, 12 points, 24 PIM, 42 hits and 80 blocks in 67 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2025-26. Moore will likely serve primarily on the third pairing next season, but it's also possible he'll occasionally be a healthy scratch.

Ducks' Ian Moore: First playoff goal is game-winner
Rotowire
Moore scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.
Moore was back in the lineup after two games as a healthy scratch, replacing Drew Helleson (undisclosed). The goal, Moore's first in the playoffs, came at 3:43 of the third period, and it stood as the game-winner. The 24-year-old saw time both as a defenseman and a forward this season, racking up 12 points, 66 shots on net, 42 hits, 80 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 67 regular-season appearances. Moore will likely fill a third-pairing role until Helleson or Radko Gudas (lower body) returns.

Ducks' Ian Moore: Heads to minors
Rotowire
Moore was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Wednesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Moore has two goals and nine points in 41 outings with the Ducks in 2025-26. Anaheim isn't scheduled to resume its season until next Wednesday versus Edmonton, so this is an opportunity for Moore to get in some work. It wouldn't be surprising if the 24-year-old defenseman was summoned before the Ducks' next game.

Ducks' Ian Moore: Manages helper in loss
Rotowire
Moore recorded an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.
Moore was scratched Thursday against the Hurricanes after a run of 12 straight games in the lineup. He returned Saturday since Jacob Trouba (personal) is away from the team awaiting the birth of his child. Moore is still in contention for bottom-four minutes and has had the upper hand over Drew Helleson lately, but the former's spot in the lineup is far from secure. Moore has seven points, 30 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 30 appearances.

Ducks' Ian Moore: Picks up assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Moore notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Moore had steady playing time in early November, but this was just his fifth appearance in the Ducks' last 13 games. He's earned two assists over that span, but it appears he's battling with Drew Helleson and Pavel Mintyukov for third-pairing minutes. Moore has contributed five points, 18 shots on net, 37 blocks, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 20 appearances, which is decent production despite his limited role.

The goal was Moore's first point of the season. The 23-year-old has added six shots on net, eight PIM, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances in a third-pairing role. Moore is likely to stay in the lineup as long as Radko Gudas (lower body) is sidelined.

Ducks' Ian Moore: Dropped to minors
Rotowire
Moore was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Monday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Moore played in just three NHL games last season in which he tallied one assist, one hit and four shots while averaging 13:38 of ice time. While the Ducks could still bring Moore back up to the NHL roster before Opening Night against the Kraken on Thursday, it seems likely he will start the year in the minors with the Gulls.

Ducks' Ian Moore: Collects first NHL assist
Rotowire
Moore posted an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.
This was Moore's first point in three NHL games. The defenseman added four shots on net, a hit, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating. Moore signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks last Saturday, and playing this season burned the first year off that deal. He'll be in the mix for a spot on the blue line during training camp ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
