Hinds was the third-round pick, 76th overall, of the Ducks in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old defenseman has yet to make his NHL debut and has three points (2G / 1A) in 16 games with the San Diego Gulls (AHL) this season.
Kreider did not play on Monday against the St. Louis Blues but is not expected to be out of the lineup for long. The 33-year-old Kreider hasn't been his usual productive self, with only nine points (9G / 0A) in 19 games this season, highlighted by a a stretch of only one point (1G / 0A) in his previous six games.
Carlsson was on the receiving end of a hit by Tye Kartye of the Seattle Kraken on Monday and exited the game shortly after, playing only 6:28 time-on-ice. No update has been provided on Carlsson's status, but more should be known before they hit the ice for their next contest on Wednesday in a rematch against Seattle. Carlsson, in his second NHL season, has 11 points (6G / 5A) in 20 games.
Granlund was a late scratch on Monday, with his absence not being announced prior to warmups. Macklin Celebrini will centre the Sharks first line in his place.
Colangelo will take a seat on Monday when the Ducks host the Kraken. The 36th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft is pointless in two games so far this season.
McTavish has not played since November 8th, missing six games, but will return to the lineup on Monday against the Seattle Kraken. The 21-year-old McTavish has eight points (2G / 6A) in 13 games this season.
The Ducks have received adequate goaltending for Dostal and John Gibson lately but will turn to Dostal between the pipes on Monday night against the Seattle Kraken. The 24-year-old Dostal has an impressive 2.69 GAA and .924 SV% in 13 appearances this season (5-6-2). The Ducks, sporting a .500 record (8-8-3) despite having the least potent offensive in the league (2.52 GF / GP), enter Monday's contest as +134 home underdogs against a Kraken club that has scored three or fewer goals in five straight (3-2-0).
Kreider will not play on Monday against the St. Louis Blues but is not expected to be out of the lineup for long. The 33-year-old Kreider hasn't been his usual productive self, with only nine points (9G / 0A) in 19 games this season, highlighted by a a stretch of only one point (1G / 0A) in his previous six games.
Granlund left Wednesday's game late in the third period. He was eager to get in the mix for an offensive zone faceoff but was forced out of the game by a concussion spotter. Evidently, he was no worse for wear as he will be in the lineup on Thursday.

The Ducks will turn back to Dostal on Monday after John Gibson got the nod against the Red Wings on Friday. Dostal was unfortunate to come away with the loss his last time out, allowing just three goals on 39 shots in a narrow 3-2 defeat against the Golden Knights. The 24-year-old netminder owns a disappointing 4-6-2 record despite an impressive .922 SV% on the season. He will need to be at his best on Monday as the Ducks enter action as massive +350 underdogs in Dallas.
Urho Vaakanainen (undisclosed) will exit the lineup due to injury, allowing Helleson to make his season debut. Helleson was the second-round pick, 47th overall, of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old made his NHL debut with the Ducks in the 2022-23 season, playing three games, but has played exclusively in the AHL since.
The Ducks will turn back to Dostal tonight despite a stellar season debut from John Gibson on Sunday. Dostal has struggled of late after a phenomenal start to the season, going winless in his last three starts with an .856 SV%. Despite the rough patch, the 24-year-old netminder still owns a .922 SV% and a 2.73 GAA on the season. He'll need to be at his best on Wednesday with the Ducks being +185 home underdogs against the Golden Knights.

McTavish did not play on Sunday, and did not practice on Tuesday, but could still be an option for the Ducks on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 21-year-old McTavish has eight points (2G / 6A) in 13 games this season.
Poehling has missed the previous three games but will re-enter the lineup on Monday against the San Jose Sharks. The 25-year-old Poehling played all 12 games of the season before his injury, tallying five points (0G / 5A), while averaging 13:31 time-on-ice.
For the fifth straight game, despite a three-game losing skid, the Ducks will turn to Dostal between the pipes. The 24-year-old Dostal has allowed nine combined goals in his last two outings (0-2-0), but has been tremendous for most of the season, boasting an impressive 2.50 GAA and .930 SV% in 10 games (4-4-2), stats that are even more impressive considering the Ducks are averaging only 2.1 goals per game, fewest in the NHL. The Ducks enter action on Friday as +174 home underdogs against the Minnesota Wild.
With Alex Lyon suffering a lower-body injury, the Red Wings recalled Husso from the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) on an emergency basis. Husso started the season with the Red Wings and couldn't complete a game, allowing four goals on 14 shots (.714 SV%), and was sent down to the AHL immediately after. The 29-year-old netminder has fared well in limited action in the AHL, posting a solid 1.23 GAA and .958 SV%.
