Goalie Start
Boyle led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
Boyle stopped all 35 shots that he faced in the Ducks shutout win over the Canucks on Wednesday. It was an impressive first career start for Boyle, who has posted impressive AHL numbers throughout his career. Boyle has now stopped 59 of 61 shots (.967 SV%) since being called-up.
Call Up
The Ducks recalled Troy Terry from San Diego (AHL) on Thursday.
Terry has spent most of his season with San Diego, where he is second on the team with 41 points (16G / 25A) in 41 games. The 21-year-old hasn’t had the same success in the NHL, scoring once with one assist in 10 games.
The Ducks will place Chad Johnson (head) on IR.
The Ducks will not have Johnson or John Gibson for Wednesay’s game, which means that Kevin Boyle will make his NHL debut with Ryan Miller returning as his backup.
The Ducks have played John Gibson (head/neck) on IR.
Ducks’ interim head coach and GM Bob Murray said that Gibson was moved to IR after being “whacked a whole bunch on one play” and is just “not right anywhere up there.” The Ducks are also without Chad Johnson right now, so Ryan Miller will return as the backup for Kevin Boyle, who will be making his NHL debut.
Miller (knee) will return as the Ducks backup on Wednesday.
Miller, who has been out since December 9th, will serve as Kevin Boyle’s backup on Wednesday. Boyle will be making his NHL debut because John Gibson and Chad Johnson are both injured.
Goalie Start
Boyle will make his first career NHL start on Wednesday.
Boyle allowed two goals on 26 shots after replacing Chad Johnson in the Ducks 6-2 loss in Philadelphia last Saturday. The 26-year-old was 19-7-0 with a 2.72 GAA and .909 SV% in 30 games with San Diego (AHL) before being called-up. Tonight he faces a Canucks team that has lost four of their last five games while being outscored 19-to-11.

Call Up
The Ducks have recalled Kevin Boyle from San Diego (AHL).
Gibson suffered and undisclosed injury Thursday in Ottawa.
Gibson was crunched in a collision with his teammate Jaycob Megna late in the second period. Gibson remained in goal for the final 1:52 of the period but was replaced by Chad Johnson for the third. The way the Ducks are playing right now, Gibson isn’t a good option regardless. Consider him questionable for Saturday’s game in Philadelphia.
Goalie Start
Gibson will start Thursday in Ottawa.
Gibson allowed five goals on 35 shots in the Ducks loss in Toronto on Monday. Gibson is in the middle of a very difficult stretch, allowing a combined 16 goals on 80 shots (.800 SV%) in his last three games. The Ducks don’t seem to care anymore but Gibson has a chance to get back on-track tonight. He draws a great matchup in Ottawa, vs. a Sens team that played last night.
Eaves (illness) will not play on Thursday.
Eaves sat in the second game of the Ducks’ back-to-back earlier in the week and will be out for a second straight game as he battles an illness. Eaves continues to have a difficult time staying on the ice and will be replaced by Adam Cracknell for the second contest in a row.
The Ducks have recalled Andy Welinski from San Diego (AHL).
Welinski, 25, has split his 2018-19 season right down the middle, playing 19 NHL games and 18 AHL games. With Korbinian Holzer returning to Germany for a family matter, Welinski has been called up and is expected to play on Thursday. The former third-round pick has two assists with the Ducks this year and four assists in 26 career NHL games overall.

Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.
Gibson was pulled after allowing six goals on 14 shots in the Ducks 9-3 loss in Winnipeg on Saturday. Gibson is doing his best behind a lacklustre Ducks team and things may get even worse in Toronto tonight. After November, Gibson was 9-8-4 with a 2.54 GAA (14th in the NHL) and a .927 SV% (t-5th). Since then he is 7-9-2 with a 3.31 GAA (42nd) and .899 SV% (33rd).

Kesler (lower-body) will be back in the Ducks lineup Monday.
Kesler has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but will play Monday in Toronto. Kesler has done nothing offensively this season, scoring just four goals with two assists in 44 games.
Eaves (back) is expected to return to the Ducks lineup on Saturday.
Eaves is expected to play in Winnipeg, just his sixth game of the season and his first game since November 9th. Eaves failed to record a point while averaging 14:18 TOI/gm in the first five games.
Silfverberg (lower-body) is expected to return to the Ducks lineup on Saturday.
Silfverberg missed the final four games before the All-Star break but is expected to play Saturday in Winnipeg. Silfverberg has 12 goals and seven assists (19 points) in 42 games this season.
The Ducks have activated Corey Perry (knee) from IR.
Perry will make his season debut on Saturday, so Ondrej Kase was placed on LTIR to make room for the veteran winger to be activated.
