Goalie Start
Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
Gibson allowed six goals on 28 shots in the Ducks loss to the Golden Knights on Sunday. Gibson has lost five of his last six starts (1-3-2) while posting a 3.36 GAA and .893 SV%. The Ducks have struggled mightily in front of him, so it's probably wise to leave him on the bench against Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Oilers.
Gudbrandon (upper-body) will miss at least two more weeks.
Gudbranson has been out for the last eight games and the updated timetable suggests he'll miss at least seven more. Brendan Guhle has been bumped into a top-4 role.
Fowler (lower-body) will miss at least two more weeks.
Fowler has missed the last three games but will likely miss at least seven more games. With Fowler out Michael Del Zotto has been playing over 20 minutes per game and seeing second power-play unit time.
The Ducks acquired Joel Persson from the Oilers for Angus Redmond and a conditional 2022 seventh-round draft pick.
Persson is in his first year in North America and has split his time between the AHL and NHL this season. While with the Oilers, he had just two assists in 13 games but was second among Bakersfield defensemen with 16 points (3G / 13A) in just 27 AHL games. Expect him to report to San Diego (AHL).
The Ducks have acquired Matt Irwin and a 2022 sixth-round pick from the Predators for Korbinian Holzer.
Irwin goes from the Predators' seventh defenseman to replacing Korninian Holzer as the Ducks' spare D-man. The 32-year-old has picked up just two assists while averaging 11:49 TOI/gm in 27 games this season.
The Ducks have acquired Christian Djoos from the Capitals for Daniel Sprong.
Djoos was becoming a regular with the Capitals in 2019 before a thigh procedure cost him a few months and he never got back into the rotation. Djoos has spent most of the 2020 season in Hershey, where he led all Bears defensemen with 32 points (5G / 27A) in 42 games. He'll report to San Diego (AHL).
The Ducks have acquired Sonny Milano from the Blue Jackets for Devin Shore.
The Blue Jackets made Milano the 16th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward struggled to maintain a spot in the lineup under head coach John Tortorella. He scored five goals and added 13 assists in 46 games for Columbus this season. Milano is set to become a restricted free-agent on July 1st.
The Ducks have acquired Danton Heinen from the Bruins for Nick Ritchie.
Heinen's production continues to trend downward after his 47-point campaign in 2017-18. He has just seven goals and 15 assists through 58 games this season.The 24-year-old carries a $2.8M cap hit through the 2020-21 season.
Waiver Move
The Ducks have claimed Andrew Agozzino off of waivers from the Penguins.
Agozzino has just one goal and six assists in 38 career NHL games. The 29-year-old forward registered two assists in 17 games with the Penguins this season.
The Ducks have acquired Kyle Criscuolo and a fourth-round draft pick from the Flyers for Derek Grant.
Criscuolo's only NHL experience came in a nine-game stint with the Sabres during the 2017-18 season. The 27-year-old forward had eight goals and 16 assists through 40 games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) this season.
Goalie Start
Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
Gibson stopped 28 of 29 shots in the Ducks loss to the Avalanche on Friday. It was a great effort from Gibson, who has been solid recently, stopping 93 of the last 98 shots (.949 SV%) that he has faced. He’s gone 1-2-0 with a 4.04 GAA and .900 SV% in his first three starts against the Golden Knights this season.
The Ducks have recalled Kiefer Sherwood from San Diego (AHL).
Sherwood has been called up on a number of occasions this season but has yet to appear in a game with the Ducks. He has played 50 career NHL games to-date and has 23 points (16G / 7A) in 37 AHL games this season. He could replace a potential trade chip like Derek Grant in their last game before the deadline.
