Harkins played 7:07 time-on-ice in Sunday's crushing 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers and is being evaluated for an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old Harkins has four points (0G / 4A) in 42 games this season and was unsuccessful on a penalty shot attempt in the loss.
Terry has been out since Saturday with the undisclosed injury. He'll return to a spot on the Ducks' second line and will likely feature on the team's first power-play unit.
It's unclear whether this is just maintenance or if Carlsson is dealing with an undisclosed injury. The second-overall pick from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft has nine goals and 14 assists in 40 games this season.
Dostal will get the nod for the tail-end of Anaheim's back-to-back after John Gibson got the start in San Jose on Thursday. Dostal took the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 28 shots against the Predators on Sunday as the Ducks fell by a score of 4-2. Dostal record now sits at a lowly 8-15-1 on the year to go along with an .897 SV%. He draws another difficult matchup on Friday as the Ducks find themselves as +240 underdogs at home against the Devils.
Zellweger is the likely replacement on the Ducks' blueline for Cam Fowler, who left Thursday's contest in the first period after taking a puck to the face. The 20-year-old Zellweger has 37 points (12G / 25A) in 44 games with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL.
Lacombe will draw back in for Ilya Lyubushkin, who is being scratched for precautionary reasons ahead of a potential trade. Lacombe has one goal and eight assists in 51 games this season.

That said, the Blackhawks are poised for another loss as they enter Thursday's game as +255 home underdogs against a high-scoring Colorado Avalanche club that defeated the Dallas Stars 5-1 on Tuesday.

Husso left last Tuesday's matchup vs. Edmonton due to a lower-body injury, and although this injury is unrelated to his previous ailment that kept him out of the lineup for an extended period, he remains week-to-week. The 29-year-old has struggled when called upon this season with his 9-5-2 record, 3.55 GAA and .892 SV%. Alex Lyon will continue to see the majority of Red Wing starts in his absence as veteran James Reimer backs him up.
Mrazek will return to the crease for the seventh time in the last eight games for the Blackhawks. The Czech netminder helped the Blackhawks snap an eight-game losing skid on Saturday with a stellar performance, saving 40 of 42 shots (.952 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. Mrazek has been a bright spot all season for a poor Blackhawks squad, keeping them within reaching distance of the opposition on most nights. That said, the Blackhawks enter action as +369 road underdogs against the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday.
