With Anaheim on the 2nd half of their back-to-back, Ville Husso will take the crease as the Ducks head to Columbus on Tuesday. The 30-year-old backup netminder has struggled when called upon this season, shown by his 5-3-0 record, 3.16 GAA and .888 SV%. He heads to Columbus to take on the floundering Blue Jackets, who are in the midst of a five game losing streak.
Brossoit underwent hip surgery in the offseason and just recently finished a conditioning stint in the AHL with the Rockford IceHogs, where he posted a 3.39 GAA and .900 S% in three games (2-1-0). The 32-year-old Brossoit has battled injuries in recent years, not playing since the 2023-24 season, but has been an effective NHL netminder when healthy, posting a 2.64 GAA and .911 SV% in 140 career appearances (64-46-13).
Helleson will take a seat on Monday in favour of Pavel Mintyukov. Helleson has two goals and seven assists in 32 games this season.
Mintyukov will slot right back into Anaheim's lineup after sitting out the Ducks game in New Jersey on Saturday. Drew Helleson will sit in his place.
Dostal returned from a multi-week absence due to injury and showed some rust on Saturday, allowing three goals on 21 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils. The 25-year-old Dostal has been solid most of the season, posting a 2.80 GAA and .904 SV% in 17 games (11-5-1) before his injury. The Ducks enter Monday's contest as +102 road underdogs against a Rangers team that snapped a three-game losing skid (0-2-1) with a 5-4 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.

Husso stopped 44 of 47 shots in the Ducks shootout win in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Husso has won three straight starts while stopping 81 of the 88 shots that he's faced, filling in admirably for the injured Lukas Dostal and Petr Mrazek. Tonight, he will face the Islanders, where the Ducks are +111 road underdogs. With 13 games on the schedule on Thursday, you probably don't need to risk streaming Husso against an Islanders team that has won four of their last five games.

Husso and the Ducks will be in search of a third straight victory when they travel to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Husso was superb in Sunday night's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks, stopping 19 of the 20 shots he faced.

Woo was drafted 37th overall by the Canucks in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and has yet to play an NHL game. The 25-year-old defenseman had 18 points (2G / 16A) in 67 games with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) last season.
Moore will be a healthy scratch on Friday, as the Ducks return to the traditional formation after rostering seven defenseman in their previous game. The 23-year-old defenseman has four points (2G / 2A) in 17 games this season.
With Lukas Dostal (lower body) and Petr Mrazek (lower body) both sidelined, Husso remains the de facto starting netminder for the Ducks and will tend the twine on Friday against the Washington Capitals. The 30-year-old Husso was excellent in his first outing as the Ducks' temporary starting goalie, saving 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Blues, but followed that up by allowing four goals on 21 shots (.810 SV%) in a dreadful 7-0 loss to the Utah Mammoth. The Ducks enter Friday's contest as +123 home underdogs against a Capitals team outscoring their opposition 27-9 during a six-game winning streak.
