The Ducks have signed Kodie Curran to a two-year contract worth $2 million ($1 million AAV).
The Ducks have signed Brendan Guhle to a two-year, $1.6 million contract extension ($800k AAV).
Guhle, who was acquired from Buffalo last February as a part of the Brandon Montour trade, split his time evenly between the AHL and NHL in 2019-20. During his time with Anaheim, he had four goals and four assists (eight points) in 30 games. With the San Diego Gulls, he was second among team defensemen with 14 points (4G / 10A) despite only appearing in 27 games. He should be a full-time NHLer in 2021 as the Ducks continue to rebuild their once promising blueline.

The Ducks have signed Sam Carrick to a one-year contract extension worth $700K.
After spending the first seven years of his career in the Maple Leafs organization, Carrick has been with the Ducks since 2016-17. In that time, he has appeared in just 15 NHL games, amassing one goal and two assists. However, he has been prolific at the AHL-level, leading the team in points (61) last year and was leading San Diego in goals (23) and points (43) in 46 games before this year was paused.
The Ducks have signed Christian Djoos to a one-year contract extension worth $1 million.
Djoos opened the 2020 campaign with the Hershey Bears (AHL) where he had 32 points (5G / 27A) in 42 games. In late-February he was dealt to the Ducks for Daniel Sprong and he registered one goal and two assists while playing 21:22 ATOI in nine games with the Ducks before the season was paused.
The Ducks have signed Jani Hakanpaa to a one-year contract extension worth $750k.
Hakanpaa signed a one-year deal at the start of 2019-20 following four years in the Finnish Elite League. The former Blues fourth-round pick spent most of the season in the AHL, where he had one goal and 12 assists (14 points) in 47 games. During a brief audition with the Ducks, Hakanpaa had one goal while playing 18:07 ATOI in five games.
Signing
The Ducks signed Roman Durny to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Durny was a fifth-round pick (No.147 overall) in 2018 and spent last year with the Norfolk Admirals (ECHL). The 21-year-old netmindner went 3-10-0 with a 4.02 GAA and .881 SV% in 13 ECHL games.

Stolarz will start against the Blues on Wednesday.

Miller led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
Miller allowed five goals on 30 shots in the Ducks overtime loss to the Wild on Sunday. It definitely wasn't Miller's best and he's now 2-2-3 with a 3.18 GAA and .898 SV% on home ice this season. Tonight he'll see a Senators team that is 1-4-2 while averaging just 1.86 goals per game in their last seven road games.

Goalie Start
Miller is expected to start Sunday vs. the Wild.
Gibson (groin) is expected to backup on Sunday.
Gibson left Friday's game in the third period with what Ducks GM Bob Murray called a "spasm in his groin." Murray added that Gibson is "not bad" but that he thinks they will "hold him out as backup" on Sunday. With Gibson backing up tonight, it seems possible that he's ready for their back-to-back on Tuesday (vs. OTT) and Wednesday (vs. STL).
The Ducks reassigned Brendan Guhle to San Diego (AHL).
Guhle has performed well with the Ducks this season, scoring four goals with four assists (eight points) in 30 games while playing 17:04 ATOI. His return to the AHL suggests that Josh Manson will return to the Ducks blueline on Sunday.
Manson (upper-body) is expected to return to the Ducks lineup on Sunday.
Manson is nearing a return to the Ducks lineup and with Brendan Guhle being sent to the AHL on Saturday, it seems likely that he'll play Sunday vs. the Wild. Manson has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury and his return could very well see him lead the Ducks battered blueline in ice-time. He has just one goal and seven assists (eight points) in 47 games this season.
