Anaheim Ducks News

Anaheim will avoid arbitration with their biggest offseason piece of business after announcing on their social media that they have signed Lukas Dostal to a five-year contract extension worth $6.5 million AAV ($32.5M total). The 25-year-old is entering his fifth NHL season with Anaheim after posting career highs in games played (54), Wins (23) and shutouts (1) in 2024-25. He is expected to be Anaheim's starter after they parted ways with John Gibson in the offseason.

San Diego will have their starting netminder return for the 2025-26 season after it was announced Tuesday that Calle Clang has signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Ducks. The 23-year-old struggled throughout 31 starts with San Diego (AHL) in 2024-25, with his 3.17 GAA, .895 SV% and 11-13-4 record.

After four successful seasons in Abbotsford (AHL), Jett Woo will remain in Vancouver's organization after signing a one-year, two-way contract extension on Tuesday. The 24-year-old was drafted by Vancouver in the 2nd round (37th overall) of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft but has yet to make his NHL debut. In 67 games with Abbotsford (AHL) in 2024-25, he had two goals, 18 points and 90 PIMs.

The Dallas Stars were reportedly interested in bringing Granlund back after meshing with the team after joining before the trade deadline. However, the Stars were not able to match the $7 million AAV, three-year contract from the Anaheim Ducks. Granlund provides some depth at the center position after losing Trevor Zegras in a trade last week. The 33-year-old Granlund had 66 points (22G / 44A) in 80 games last season.

Despite Anaheim acquiring Petr Mrazek on Saturday in a deal that shipped John Gibson out of town, Anaheim continued to add to their goaltending depth for the 2025-26 season after signing Ville Husso to a two-year, $4.4 million contract extension ($2.2 million AAV). The 30-year-old was acquired at last year's trade deadline from Detroit and posted a 2-6-3 record with a 3.47 GAA and .890 SV% between the Ducks and Red Wings last season.

Poehling finds himself on his third team in seven seasons after the forward was acquired from Anaheim alongside a 2025 2nd-round pick (45th overall) and a 2026 4th-round pick from Anaheim for Trevor Zegras. The 26-year-old Poehling put up career highs in nearly all categories last season, with 12 goals, 31 points and 16 PIMs in 68 games played.

Nesterenko spent most of the 2024-25 season with San Diego (AHL), where he tallied 34 points (13G / 21A) in 50 games. During his 20 games with the Ducks, Nesterenko had four goals and two assists (six points). The 23-year-old forward will have an uphill battle to make the Ducks out of training camp for the start of the 2025-26 season.

Pettersson was Anaheim's 2024 2nd-round pick (35th overall) and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks on Friday. The 19-year-old Swedish center spent 2024-25 split between MoDo Hockey (SHL) and Ostersunds IK (HockeyAllsvenskan). He is expected to play for Brynas IF of the SHL for the 2025-26 season.

Greer missed Games 1 and 2 but will replace Jesper Boqvist in the lineup for Game 3 vs. the Oilers. Greer brings a physical presence to the Panthers' fourth line, averaging 3.75 hits per game in the postseason, but has just three points (2G / 1A).

Greer missed Game 1 due to a lower-body injury and, despite being almost ready to return, will remain out for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final as Jesper Boqvist continues to occupy his spot in the lineup. The 28-year-old Greer had two goals and three points in 12 games prior to his injury.

Greer missed Florida's Game 4 loss due to an undisclosed injury but will return to the lineup for Game 5 on Wednesday. The 28-year-old is expected to replace Nico Sturm on Florida's 4th line and has two goals and three points in 11 games played throughout the playoffs.

Greer is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Nico Sturm will play for the first time since Game 2 vs. Toronto to replace Greer on the Panthers' fourth line.
