Moore has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Matt Grzelcyk on Thursday. Moore has had a solid year, scoring nine points (2G / 7A) while averring 1.5 shots and 1.4 blocked shots per game through 41 contests.
Acciari has been in the lineup for the last nine games but will be replaced by David Backes on Thursday. Acciari has just four points (1G / 3A) in 40 games this season.
Backes was a healthy scratch on Wednesday but will replace Noel Acciari on the Bruins fourth line tonight. Backes has one goal and five assists (six points) in his last 11 games.
Vasilevskiy stopped all 35 shots that he faced in the Lightning’s shutout win in Dallas on Tuesday. Vasilevskiy has two shutouts in his last four starts, going 3-1-0 while allowing just five goals on 120 shots (.958 SV%) over that stretch. In his first start vs. the Maple Leafs, Vasilevskiy stopped 48 of 49 shots in a 4-1 win (Dec.13).
Stolarz went 2-3-2 with a 3.90 GAA and .880 SV% in nine games with the Flyers this season. With Carter Hart playing well, Stolarz heads back to the Phantoms for now—he is 2-0-0 with a 3.34 GAA and .889 SV% in the AHL this year.
Eaves has been out since November 9th and heads to San Diego on a conditioning stint to get back up to NHL speed. It is Eaves’ first AHL stint since the 2013-14 season when he was with the Red Wings.
Sherwood has appeared in 46 of the Ducks 47 games this season but has just 10 points (5G / 5A). The 23-year-old will spend some time with the Gulls, where he has two goals in 12 career games.
Dotchin was in the lineup for the last four games but will be replaced by Andrej Sustr on the active roster. The 24-year-old heads back to San Diego where he has one assist in nine games.
Sustr has split his campaign between the AHL and NHL, failing to pick up a point in five games with the Ducks. During his time in San Diego, the 6-foot-7 defenseman has just two helpers in 16 games.
Jones could make his NHL debut on Thursday after recording 12 goals and 12 assists (24 points) in 32 games with San Diego. Jones is a former first-round pick (No.24 in 2016) who is part of the struggling Ducks’ roster re-tool.
Terry started the season with the Ducks but did not register a point in six games. The 21-year-old has played very well in San Diego, scoring 16 goals and 21 assists (37 points) in 32 games. He is expected to play for Jakob Silfverberg on Thursday and should see top-9 minutes.
Silfverberg played just 3:44 TOI before leaving Tuesday’s game in Detroit with a lower-body injury. Silverberg is expected to miss the rest of the road-trip, so Max Jones and Troy Terry have been called-up to replace him and Ryan Kesler (lower-body).
Kesler played just 5:06 TOI in Detroit before leaving with a lower-body injury. Kesler will miss at least the next three games, so look for Adam Henrique to be back on the Ducks top power-play unit on Thursday. Max Jones and Troy Terry were recalled from San Diego (AHL) to replace Kesler and Jakob Silfverberg (lower-body).
Blandisi has spent the majority of the season with San Diego (AHL), where he had 23 points (8G / 15A) in 27 games. The 24-year-old could replace Grant as the Penguins 12th/13th forward. He has 26 points (8G / 18A) in 74 career NHL games with the Devils and Ducks.
Grant has scored twice with three assists (five points) in 25 games with the Penguins this season. The 28-year-old returns to Anaheim, where he had the best year of his career, scoring 12 goals with 12 assists (24 points) in 2017-18.
Schenn has appeared in just eight games with the Ducks this season and heads to Vancouver where he will likely serve as an extra defenseman.
Del Zotto has played just once since December 4th and has four points (1G / 3A) in 23 games this season. Del Zotto will battle with Jacob Larsson, Andrej Sustr and Andy Welinski for playing time.
Aberg had 11 goals and eight assists (19 points) in his first 37 games with the Ducks but has been a healthy scratch for the last four games. Aberg fell out of favour with head coach Randy Carlyle so he gets moved to Minnesota, where he will fight with Matt Hendricks and J.T. Brown for playing time in the bottom-6.
Kloos has registered 12 goals and 18 assists (30 points) in 34 games with Iowa (AHL) this season. Aberg had a nice run but fell out of favour with head coach Randy Carlyle as of late, serving as a healthy scratch for four straight games. Kloos will report to San Diego (AHL) at first but could earn a call-up if the Ducks continue to struggle.
