Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Deemed day-to-day
Granlund (upper body) did not practice Thursday and is considered day-to-day.
Granlund's status ahead of Friday's clash against the Bruins is in jeopardy following Thursday's injury designation. The 34-year-old center has been a rock for the Ducks to fall back on early this season, compiling two goals, eight points, 12 shots on net and six blocked shots across six outings. Granlund's status will be monitored closely over the next 24 hours, but if he can't go Friday, either Roger McQueen or A.J. Greer would likely take his place as the team's second-line center.

Ducks' Beckett Sennecke: Steal-and-score play in loss
Sennecke scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.
Sennecke manufactured the Ducks' first goal by himself, catching the Flames napping. He stole the puck and cashed in on a breakaway to tie the game at 1-1. The 20-year-old winger has gotten on the scoresheet in five of six contests so far. He's at four goals, three assists, 17 shots on net, nine hits, eight PIM, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over six outings this season. Sennecke will offer decent production as a top-six power winger.

Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Strikes on power play
Carlsson scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.
Carlsson scored his first goal since the Ducks' season opener. The 21-year-old has remained productive, especially on the power play, which is where he's earned his last seven points. Overall, he has two goals, seven assists, six shots on net, five blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-3 rating across six outings. Carlsson's shot volume will improve with time, and his even-strength numbers should follow when that happens.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Wastes favorable matchup
Dostal allowed three goals on 35 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Flames. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
The Flames had their best game of the year, and Dostal wasn't quite up to the challenge. The 35 shots against were the most he's seen in his five outings this season. Dostal is 3-2-0 with a 2.98 GAA and an .892 save percentage so far. He should continue to see a starter's workload for the Ducks. Their next game is Friday at home versus the Bruins before they set off on an eastern road trip.

Ducks' Mathis Preston: Racks up three points in WHL win
Preston scored twice and added an assist in WHL Vancouver's 5-1 win over Seattle on Tuesday.
Preston has amassed six goals and four helpers across eight games for the Giants this season. The 2026 second-rounder was seen as a steal at 50th overall, and his hot start of the campaign is a positive sign. He was limited to 44 points over 46 regular-season games between Vancouver and Spokane last year, but he's poised to get above the point-per-game threshold in 2026-27.

Ducks' Drew Helleson: Cleared for return
Helleson (lower body) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Flames, per the NHL Media Site.
Helleson is set to make his season debut in Tuesday's clash after sustaining a lower-body injury in the preseason. The 25-year-old blueliner is expected to take on a larger role this season following the departure of Jacob Trouba, which leaves room for Helleson to occupy a top-four pairing. He posted two goals, 15 points, 39 shots on net, 63 hits and 79 blocked shots across 60 regular-season games in the 2025-26 campaign. Helleson is a solid stash in deep fantasy leagues given the Ducks' lack of experience on the blue line.

Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Tending twine Tuesday
Dostal will patrol the home paint in Tuesday's clash against the Flames, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Dostal will look to keep momentum on his side in Tuesday's clash after he won his most recent appearance in a 5-1 victory over Winnipeg. The 26-year-old netminder has a 3-1-0 record, a 2.96 GAA and an .883 save percentage across four outings to begin the new campaign. He'll be slated to face the Flames, who have yet to find the win column across five outings, making Dostal one of the top players to start in fantasy Tuesday.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Still sidelined Tuesday
Gauthier (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus Calgary on Tuesday, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
Gauthier continues to be classified as day-to-day, so it's possible he'll be ready to face the Bruins on Friday. With the 22-year-old winger on the shelf, Roger McQueen will make his NHL debut against the Flames. For his part, Gauthier is currently mired in a three-game pointless streak and will no doubt be eager to score whenever he's cleared to return.

Ducks' Ryan Poehling: Set to miss 6-8 weeks
Poehling (knee) is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with an MCL sprain.
Poehling was placed on injured reserve Tuesday morning, and the specifics of his injury have revealed that he's set to likely be sidelined into late November. In his absence, Roger McQueen, the 10th overall pick from the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, is expected to play in the team's middle six up the center of the ice. The 27-year-old Poehling was off to a solid start to the 2026-27 campaign prior to going down, posting a pair of points and solid category-coverage numbers across five games.

Ducks' Ryan Poehling: Heading to IR
Poehling (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Ducks on Tuesday.
Poehling was deemed day-to-day on Monday, but he will ultimately end up missing the Ducks' next three games by moving to injured reserve. Across five games to begin the 2026-27 campaign, he has a goal, two points, six shots on net, three hits and five blocks. In the interim, Roger McQueen is expected to make his NHL debut Tuesday and serve as a middle-six center until Poehling is ready to return.

Ducks' Roger McQueen: Headed to Anaheim
McQueen was called up from AHL San Diego on Tuesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
McQueen's highly-anticipated NHL debut could be right around the corner. He was selected by the Ducks with the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and has impressed in his collegiate and professional games since. He compiled 11 goals and 27 points with the NCAA's Providence College in the 2025-26 season before he ended the year with AHL San Diego. To kick off the 2026-27 regular season, he has three goals in just four outings. He's an exciting prospect for the Ducks, who will likely role him out in a middle-six role to join their electric, young offensive core of players. He's a priority waiver-wire add in dynasty-based fantasy leagues and a solid stash in standard formats.

Ducks' Travis Mitchell: Demoted to AHL
Mitchell was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Monday.
Mitchell being sent down is a good indication that Drew Helleson (lower body) will make his season debut Tuesday against the Flames. The 26-year-old Mitchell has not gotten on the scoresheet with the Ducks this season while accounting for six hits, seven blocks, nine PIM and a minus-3 rating over five appearances.

Ducks' Cutter Gauthier: Participates in drills at practice
Gauthier (upper body) participated in drills to begin Monday's practice session but left before line rushes and team drills, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Gauthier exited Saturday's game against the Flames in the first period due to an upper-body injury, and it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for Tuesday's rematch against Calgary. It was encouraging to see him do some work at practice Monday, though a better idea of his status for Tuesday's game could be revealed based on his participation in the team's morning skate. If Gauthier is unavailable, A.J. Greer and Nikita Klepov are candidates to see increased roles.

Ducks' Ryan Poehling: Officially deemed day-to-day
Poehling (lower body) is day-to-day and missed practice Monday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Poehling finally got on the scoresheet against the Flames on Saturday, notching one goal and one assist before being forced to leave the game due to his lower-body injury. If the 27-year-old center can't play against the Flames on Tuesday, A.J. Greer will likely take on a third-line role. Once cleared to play, Poehling should slot back into a spot in the bottom six.

Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Dishes pair of assists
Granlund notched two assists, including one on the power play, and fired four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Granlund extended his point streak to five games, and this was his second multi-point effort in a row. The 34-year-old center has two goals, five assists, three power-play points, 10 shots on net, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating so far this season. Granlund's production is rarely flashy, but he's consistent in a top-six role with power-play time, so he can be trusted in fantasy.

Ducks' Nikita Nesterenko: Goals in consecutive games
Nesterenko scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Nesterenko has scored in each of the last two games. The physical winger has two goals, six shots, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season. His playing time could go up if Cutter Gauthier (upper body) is forced to miss time after exiting Saturday's contest early. Nesterenko could help in banger leagues, but he won't have widespread fantasy appeal without a power-play role.

Ducks' Frank Vatrano: Lights lamp Saturday
Vatrano scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Vatrano has filled a part-time role to begin the season, as this was just his second appearance. The 32-year-old has been limited to bottom-six usage as well. Vatrano has displayed 40-point potential as recently as 2024-25, but he was held to nine points in 50 regular-season outings last year and doesn't appear to be a favorite of head coach Joel Quenneville. Vatrano could see his playing time stabilize in the near future if Cutter Gauthier (upper body) and Ryan Poehling (lower body) miss time after their injuries Saturday.
