Injury
Steel (mid-body) will return to the Ducks lineup on Monday.

Gibson allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Ducks loss in Pittsburgh last Thursday. Gibson was given Friday off, so they’ll come back to him in Boston this afternoon. Gibson has been outstanding to kick-off 2019-20, going 3-1-0 with a 1.26 GAA and .961 SV% in his first four starts. As good as he has been, the Bruins present a very difficult matchup.
Line Change
Comtois will draw into the Ducks lineup on Friday.
Goalie Start
Miller led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
John Gibson has started the first four games of the season and has been outstanding but Miller is expected to start the second game of the Ducks back-to-back tonight.

Goalie Start
Gibson starts Tuesday in Detroit.
Gibson has had a tremendous start to 2019-20, going 2-0 while stopping 67 of the 69 shots (.971 SV%). The Ducks have given up plenty of chances but Gibson has stood tall so far. He will need to continue what he has started if the Ducks are going to have any success this season. Tonight he faces a Red Wings team that is also 2-0 to start the season and are being carried by a red-hot first-line.
Injury
Steel (mid-body) travelled to Detroit for Tuesday’s game.
Steel missed Saturday’s game vs. the Sharks with what the Ducks described as a “mid-body” injury. Isac Lundestrom replaced him on Saturday but Steel could play in Detroit after accompanying the team on the road trip. Monitor his status after the team’s morning skate.
Call Up
The Ducks have recalled Maxime Comtois from San Diego (AHL).
Comtois was sent down to start the season but was quickly recalled after just one game with San Diego. The 20-year-old had two goals and five assists (seven points) in 10 NHL games to start last season.
Goalie Start
Gibson leads the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
