Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Between pipes against Rangers
Rotowire
Dostal will tend the twine on the road against the Rangers on Monday.
Dostal returned from a nine-game absence due to an upper-body injury versus the Devils on Saturday, giving up three goals on 21 shots in a losing effort. The 25-year-old backstop will be looking for his first win since Nov. 22 versus Vegas when he clashes with the Rangers on Monday.
Terry scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 loss to the Devils.
Terry opened the scoring in the first period on a snap shot from the right hashmarks on a lead pass from Leo Carlsson. Terry led all skaters with six shots Saturday. He's on a three-game goal and four-game scoring streak (three goals, two assists). Overall, he has 10 goals, 24 assists and 81 shots in 32 games this season.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Allows three goals in injury return
Rotowire
Dostal made 18 saves on 21 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Devils on Saturday. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Dostal made his first appearance after missing nine games with an upper-body injury. He looked good, but the Devils were better. This season, Dostal is 11-6-1 with a 2.83 GAA and a .902 save percentage.
Dostal will defend the road net against New Jersey on Saturday, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
Following a nine-game absence due to an upper-body injury, the Ducks activated Dostal on Friday from injured reserve. He has posted a record of 11-5-1 with a 2.81 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. New Jersey is tied for 21st in the league with 2.90 goals per game this campaign.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Activated Friday
Rotowire
Dostal (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Friday.
Dostal hasn't been between the pipes since Nov. 22 due to the injury. He's 11-5-1 with a 2.81 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 17 outings this year. Vyacheslav Buteyets was returned to ECHL Tulsa in a corresponding move. Dostal should now serve as the No. 1 goaltender. Ville Husso will shift to the No. 2 job, but once Petr Mrazek (lower body) is ready to return, he might take that spot from Husso.

Ducks' Vyacheslav Buteyets: Sent down Friday
Rotowire
Buteyets was assigned to ECHL Tulsa on Friday.
Buteyets was called up by Anaheim at the beginning of December, but he made just one appearance during his time with the NHL club. He'll head back to the minors after Lukas Dostal (upper body) was activated off injured reserve, and Buteyets should see more consistent playing time with Tulsa.

Ducks' Ryan Poehling: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Rotowire
Poehling notched a shorthanded assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
Poehling had gone 10 games without a point, and he missed seven contests with an upper-body injury in that span. With the Ducks fully healthy at forward, Poehling's defensive skills are keeping him in action as a bottom-six center. He's at seven points, 21 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 24 outings.
Terry scored a goal, recorded an assist and put two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
After he dished the primary helper on Leo Carlsson's tally, Terry netted a shorthanded marker near the start of the third period to bring the Ducks within one goal. With the pair of points, the 28-year-old winger is up to nine goals, 24 assists and 75 shots on goal through 31 games this season. After a hot start to the season, Terry has maintained his status as a point-per-game player over his last 13 contests. Not only is he on track to record his fifth consecutive season with at least 50 points, but he is also well above the pace to set a new career high in that category if he can surpass the 67 he accumulated during the 2021-22 campaign. Terry is a must-roster player with high upside in all point-based fantasy formats.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Finds twine Thursday
Rotowire
Carlsson scored a goal and placed three shots on net in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
Carlsson responded to the Islanders' three-goal first period with a tally of his own to put Anaheim on the board. Thursday's twine finder raised his season totals up to 17 goals, 39 points and 80 shots on net through 31 games. He has continued to show the hockey world that his jump to stardom wasn't an early-season fluke, as he has maintained his scoring pace with 13 points in his last 12 games. The 20-year-old center ranks just outside the NHL's top 10 skaters in points and has shown no signs of slowing down soon. Carlsson has been a large reason for the Ducks' leap forward this year, and he should continue to provide elite value in fantasy going forward.

Ducks' Maxim Masse: Earns four points
Rotowire
Masse scored three goals and added an assist in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 6-5 loss to Saint John on Thursday.
Masse is up to 12 points over his last four games, including a pair of hat tricks. The Ducks prospect has really elevated his game lately and is now at 24 goals and 42 points through 27 appearances this season. His continued success with the Sagueneens bodes well for the Ducks getting his name on an entry-level contract in the future.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Surrenders five goals Thursday
Rotowire
Husso stopped 32 of 37 shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
Husso allowed three goals in the first period alone, which would be too steep a deficit for Anaheim's offense to overcome before he surrendered two more tallies in the third. With the loss, the 30-year-old netminder now has a 5-3-0 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .888 save percentage through eight appearances this season. With starting netminder Lukas Dostal (upper-body) potentially near a return, Husso would be ushered to the backup role. Husso has been inconsistent between the pipes thus far, making him tough to trust in all fantasy formats moving forward. If Dostal remains sidelined, Anaheim would likely turn to Husso for the team's game Saturday in New Jersey.
Vatrano (face) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Islanders on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Vatrano took a puck to the face Tuesday versus the Penguins and didn't finish that contest. The 31-year-old is not expected to miss any additional time and will occupy a bottom-six role for the Ducks in Thursday's game.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Expected to start Thursday
Rotowire
Husso is set to start on the road against the Islanders on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Husso has won three straight starts while turning aside 81 of 88 shots (.920 save percentage). He's improved to 5-2-0 with a 2.83 GAA and an .893 save percentage through seven appearances this year. The Islanders are tied for 20th in goals per game with 2.90.
Terry scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.
Terry fired a wrist shot from the bottom of the right circle just under the crossbar in the second period to put Anaheim in front 2-1. It was his eighth goal. He has a point (one goal, one assist) in each of his last two games and 31 (eight goals, 23 assists) in 30 games. That puts Terry on a collision course for a possible 80-point campaign.
