Theodore is expected to be recalled from Chicago (AHL) on Monday.

Theodore was only sent to the AHL to start the season because the Golden Knights had a ton of defensemen and he was one of the only players that was waiver exempt. Vegas has been working to clear a spot to bring him up and it looks like the time has finally arrived. Theodore has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in eight AHL games and just might be the Golden Knights’ best defenseman.

The Ducks have sent Shea Theodore to San Diego (AHL).

Theodore failed to record a point while playing in five straight games, and will head back to San Diego (AHL), which suggests Sami Vatanen (lower-body) will return to the lineup. Theodore has fallen behind Brandon Montour on the depth chart, which is why he’s heading back and Montour stays.

The Ducks have recalled Shea Theodore from San Diego (AHL).

Theodore, 21, had eight points (3G / 5A) in 19 games with the Ducks last year, but didn’t make the team out of training camp. However, he picked up two assists in his first two games with San Diego and is already up with the big-club. Expect him to see bottom pairing minutes and power-play time in the early going.

Theodore is expected to be in the Ducks lineup on Saturday.

Theodore, 20, has six points (2G / 4A) in 13 games with the Ducks this season. Kevin Bieksa is not expected to play tonight because of an upper-body injury, so look for Theodore to draw in. While in San Diego, Theodore registered 31 points (8G / 23A) in 47 games.

Theodore, 20, impressed in a 13-game stint with the Ducks earlier in the season, picking up two goals and four assists. In 47 games with San Diego, the 2013 first round pick (26th overall) has 31 points (8G / 23A). He will likely replace Korbinian Holzer in the lineup on Thursday.

Theodore, 20, was the 26th overall pick in 2013. The 6-foot-2, 186 lbs. blueliner has eight points (1G / 7A) in 13 games with San Diego this season. Theodore had 48 points (13G / 35A) in 43 games with Seattle (WHL) last season and 19 points (5G / 14A) in his first 22 career AHL games, so producing at the NHL level is the next step.
